        If the people of #HongKongProtest did this in #China ..they’d be shot at ...good on these protesters because we all know how #China cracks down on dissent. #xijinping seemed okay years ago but after he extended his rule I think people knew where this was going to head.

        The police chief seems wanting some action and justification to use arms, and smoke bombs. Thats not how you calm the people down, it intimidates them leading to more “disturbances”
