    A 14-year-old was shot and the entire MTR system was shut down as protests broke out across Hong Kong in response to Carrie Lam’s anti-mask law, a move meant to “deter” violence. http://sc.mp/7w341  #HongKongProtestspic.twitter.com/DQhpEqkYP8

        Hello SCMP. Let me help you make this tweet less vague. “Police officer shoots 14-year-old and government orders shut down of entire MTR system as protests broke out...” You’re welcome!

        the full story was that off duty officer bumped the crowd with his car first, and shot that 14 yr old boy, and then the officer was dispersed by protesters.

        Violence begets Violence. The police started it. And now it has given protestors the reason for revenge. The cycle has to stop.

        Police started it? Interesting. If so police and China army can do more. Why they need to issue mask law?

        Prolonged violence, vandalism and riots in Hong Kong lead to establishment of anti-mask law.

        Not to mention the minute those masks come off China's got a facial recognition hit on anyone who doesn't like 'em.
