      The call now is for supporters to stream in from all directions to free the students and others on the campus. What we’re seeing along the highway is one stream of protesters responding to a call to arms that’s supposed to flank police on all sides. Police seem aware of this.pic.twitter.com/LuJ8fBesFL

      Im on the east side, but on the west side the same thing seems to be happening. Crowds coming to confront police who have the PolyU campus surrounded and are letting no one leave. At least 100s inside, many determined for a showdown.https://twitter.com/stegersaurus/status/1196094319955976192?s=21 …

      Scene at the front lines of the campus. The water is not easy to defy. Stings badly and has a lot of force behind it.https://twitter.com/jamespomfret/status/1196095177724583936?s=21 …

      As we wander the perimeter trying to get closer, there are small standoffs everywhere. Heard just before police started firing tear gas and rubber bullets on this position: “Fuck you, I pay your salary you mother fuckers.”pic.twitter.com/QzqMpEESCO

      A large group is following Bishop Joseph Ha and several pan dems as they try to find a way onto campus to help negotiate. People are calling out to students in the dorms nearby telling them to join and save their classmates. The crowd grows...pic.twitter.com/QyFSrtvUrs

      And the Bishop and pan dems weren’t let in by the police. They were also threatened for good measure, with police saying the group following them would be an illegal assembly if they didn’t disperse.pic.twitter.com/Z8xJqFKqHB

      Things seemed quiet just about everywhere. Then we got to Jordan, where a large group of frontliners continue to push towards PolyU. Likely nasty standoffs continuing and it’s now 4am here.pic.twitter.com/pTI7v8Hbjt

          And that seems to be the end. PolyU still surrounded. Police sleeping or standing guard. The protesters trying to break out the students never got close. The standoff seems like it will carry on into Monday daytime.pic.twitter.com/oriLIs6Y13

          So for the past ten minutes or so things have quietened down significantly. Seems there’s a ceasefire and police have stopped their assault. The big fire is out. Students still seem in control of the entrance. But the whole school is smoldering in a haze of smoke and tear gas.pic.twitter.com/zxQcZxN44w
