        The HKFS and Ambulance Service are fantastic. Stop criticising them and maybe focus on the completely incompetent, brutal and out of control HK police force!

        So stupid. What tool or training would you have them deploy? The water or the axe? Foh w this headline. You also tried unsuccessfully to turn people against public medical staff, now you’re trying firefighters

        "Peaceful" protest??? How burning and destroy shops who have different political stance helps "fighting for freedom"???

        HK firefirghters are not equippet to handle fights. However, HK police is heavily armed, they still walked away from 721 triads attack.
