      That’s the set up you need for selling newspapers these day: gas mask hanging on ur neck, helmet, goggles and a screen to watch live-stream of protests. “I’m queuing for a cemetery plot.

      Causeway Bay tonight. After a whole day of cat and mouse chase with #HongKongProtesters, riot police seem to have changed tactics. Now gassing the entire neighbourhood, responding even to sporadic heckling from individual protesters.pic.twitter.com/n7osXivyMU

      Holes are left on Percival Street where the teargas pellets literally burnt into the ground, melting the pavement. A firstaider was severely injured in this area earlier today after one landed on his back.pic.twitter.com/L3ro4WXgxC

          This is not crowd control tool, this is weapon, that clearly could kill a human being in a split second. #HongKongProtests #HongKong #HKPoliceState

          A first-aider was injured by a hand-throwing tear gas, and his back was extensively burned. According to the news, the Chinese hand-throwing tear gas was burned at a very high temperature, and the first responder had a fire when the bullet was shot. https://www.facebook.com/207097505984138/posts/3320093264684531?d=n&sfns=mo … pic.twitter.com/fac86PsoGr

          That’s too cruel. Teargas shouldn’t be fired straight to anybody, not to mention a teargas can threw by hand. The police must throw the teargas can straight to the first aider in purpose. There’s no way to do this to us. It’s too cruel.pic.twitter.com/LqFWDMjx3t
