        This tactic was suggested by local radio commentator Chip Tsao tongue-in-cheek in his programme last night. Get soldiers out in the streets, unmasked, to clear roadblocks. An independent board of inquiry will be next, followed by Carrie stepping down, going by Tsao's script.

        PLA in Macau helps the residents to clean up after Typhoon Hato too! As a law-abiding citizen, I have nothing to fear about the PLA.

        Helping ordinary citizens clear roads and get traffic moving. I feel very good.

        It is somehow more reassuring to see them than the #HKPoliceTerrorism. Thar is saying something...

        If protesters attack everyone who clean the streets for rush hour,then these PLA might be the best idea to deal with that.
