        It is justified too for the protestor to take out a metal object and swing at the policeman upper body part? You don't need to provoke and later blame the authority. You deserve it no matter what is your age or status.

        We all saw a hammer and a wrench as well. Seriously, Wtf?! I understand and respect their views, but I can think of no other country where this would even be up for debate. Law and order need to be upheld and they need to face real consequences. Otherwise, there'd be no end.

        HK police has the right to use deadly force as their counterparts do the world over when their own lives are threatened! HK Protesters cross the line of lawful demonstration when they engage in violence, vandalism, and subversive anti-government activities.

        Exactly...so sad and infuriating to see our beautiful city get destroyed on a weekly basis. Not enough credit is given to the workers who clean up and bring the city back to its feet (albeit temporarily). Pro democracy lawmakers need to strongly condemn such actions and violence.

        Certainly the police officer was justified to open fire. Those are rioters who are crazily insane using weapons to attack police! Support hk police @hkpoliceforce @HKvigilance @JakesKristal

        Totally justified. Let those who criticise the shooting be faced with similar situation and see how they react...hypocrites.
