Just passed this blood on the street in #HongKong’s Causeway Bay. Some protestor has copped it pretty hard when the riot police raced through. #Chinapic.twitter.com/VgzLWtoEYb
Shocking footage of #HongKong riot police charging into a subway station pursuing pro-democracy activists and firing into them at point blank range. I’ve seen police being provoked here but I’m speechless. Carrie Lam says no police inquiry needed they’re investigating themselves.pic.twitter.com/R61BytE6ft
I’m sure it’s obvious to most but I should point out that what’s being fired is not a normal gun but rubber bullets or something along those lines. However many in #HongKong are questioning the need to fire in this way at the top of an escalator as protestors are trying to leave.
You’ll notice that a sudden rush of “pro-Beijing” / anti-#HongKong protestor comments regarding the crisis here are from new Twitter accounts with randomly generated number handles. There’s been a significant troll campaign...pic.twitter.com/MvKeau5W3u
Another major development from the weekend in #HongKong was a new police tactic: undercover officers dress as protestors then, when the riot squad races in & activists start running, they grab demonstrators near them, throw them to the ground and pin them till other police come.
What was said at a press conference on Monday from the Hong Kong & Macau Affairs Office (the relevant central government ministry) was along the lines of ‘laying the groundwork for terrorism to spread’ but already they’re all being described in troll attacks as “terrorists”.
It actually just shows what an over-used but mostly useless word this is.
Yeah, we do that here, too. Police investigating police - and you’ll never guess that apparently the police are innocent almost every single time! jfc
It's a disgrace. Surprised no one is dead.
At this point we can safely say that the Hong Kong Police force is not there to protect and serve Hongkong citizens, but to attack and prosecute them. They have crossed the line. They answer only to Beijing.
