        Like the policy for dealing with terrorists, if the government acted because the protestors got violent that would just make all future protests more violent.

        5 demands were designed to create chaos, not to come to a solution. Impossible amnesty for severe crimes. Alienate police force Potential governing of sinophobes, depriving mainland Chinese of fundamental rights in their own country.

        It's a de facto coup d'etat by the police and triads who have now put themselves in the position where they decide the law. Even the government fear them now.

        I agree. She is too passive and slow to make any decision. The city is in such a bad shape because of her inaction.
