Nathan Law 羅冠聰Verified account @nathanlawkcThe#HK police force just released a video saying that they would shot live ammunition if the resistance in#PolyU continues. We are so worried about the upcoming possible slaughter and urge the international community to deescalate the situation by holding the govt accountable. pic.twitter.com/4HlJzAXh7N1 reply 7 retweets 15 likesShow this thread
