As at every protest, there are Hong Kong wheelchair users in the press pool and I respect them most of allpic.twitter.com/WDwB6qg6FI
Police, demonstrators and press all kind of waiting around so they can start fighting (and earning Pulitzers) when the bulk of peaceful demonstrators are out of central. It's a weird situationpic.twitter.com/2HtZgHndpD

Cops being super aggro with the press right now. Lots of gun pointing (non-lethal guns) and yelling
Police are easily letting themselves get provoked by telling from the crowd. When they chase the yeller, journalists swarm, which provokes a follow-on freakout. No pepper spray used so far but it's brandishedpic.twitter.com/9JINMxjJh8
Now there is an elaborate recessional of frontliners taking place towards central away from the cops. A batallion of armored press is in slow pursuitpic.twitter.com/dHJLVMxJ8i
If CHRF can pull off a miracle tonight and get frontliners to just go home I will be amazed. They did it on August 18; it may be happening again now. Only press and bystanders are left on Des Voeux past the CHRF vanpic.twitter.com/3gv59rgMpV
Blue flag is up on Pedder St., just a block from the van trying to keep the peace. I think frontliners believe they're protecting departing peaceful protesters by forming up herepic.twitter.com/TnW9DuiZlS
Police here are fairly chill, letting demonstrators just arriving at the terminus disperse. A festive five demands poster is the reason for the seasonpic.twitter.com/tpCCyqAKU3
It's pretty calm in central, and basically up to the police if they want to make it a fight. Hong Kong frontliners see their role as protective so they will not leave before everyone leaves, but if the police don't lose their shit everyone may just go homepic.twitter.com/pBrb3AJLDw
CHRF organizers are doing a stellar job defusing tension at the terminus. It's not easy getting a leaderless movement to agree to go home, but there's lots of respect for the peaceful marcherspic.twitter.com/DUuWHFcbEJ
Lots of people changing out of frontliner gear into street clothes, always a good sign
Interesting that all the sharpest clashes I saw on Des Voeux rd tonight were between police and the press. Presence of blue jacketed media liaisons, who usually mediate, didn't help.
People are putting down their umbrellas and hitting the tea stands. CHRF has proved it can consistently pull off peaceful gigantic marches. So why were so many permits refused?pic.twitter.com/cDTWoyoavs
