This is a really tendentious article by the New York Times that makes me question their other Hong Kong coverage. The story the past week isn't an increase in violence by protesters against people; it's a police rampage in which cops shot two schoolkids.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/07/world/asia/hong-kong-protesters-masks-violence.html …

Let's also remember why the protests are leaderless. It's because the 2014 leaders, including some who sat down to debate with Carrie Lam on television, got sent to jail. Several were re-sentenced after Beijing decided the original sentences were too lenient. Context matters.

There is incredible journalism being done here, including by
@nytimes reporters, but what reaches the front page is bad. David Brooks bullshit, articles like this on "escalating violence", descriptions of emergency law as a "measured step". And we have no public editor to turn toShow this thread
