      Ok so a sequence of things just happened: At Mody Rd Garden where some protesters had fled, dozens of raptor riot police suddenly rushed in firing pepper pellets.pic.twitter.com/5FdV8s8ZYu

      When the protesters were chased by the police across Salisbury Rd. where all the “school bus” cars are backed up waiting to ferry protesters, all the cars started tooting their horns to distract the police.pic.twitter.com/vLvwKwgirz

          Meanwhile back at the square I saw something I’ve never seen before: a crowd of HKers sitting outside a cafe who had been chatting as well as shouting support, warnings & advice for the protesters moments earlier all fell totally silent when police arrived waving their guns.pic.twitter.com/NikPrTft9f

          Which reminded me that a few months ago I wrote that HK Police had a problem because, unlike most authoritarian state police which are both hated & feared, HK Police were becoming hated but not feared. Is today the day that HK police finally become both?

          Then again, the police that are trying to force all the waiting “school bus” volunteer drivers to move along are being treated to this. So, maybe not yet.pic.twitter.com/r5rMPZad9b
