        More teargas fired as riot police made a made dash along Hennessy Road. #HongKong people take to the street in this scale for the first time since #coronavirus hit, to protest against its government and the impending national security laws.pic.twitter.com/j1aWmneOPw

        In a way, #HongKong has returned to the “norm” of 2019, with riot police on the streets ushering pedestrians to leave. At the same time, it feels like Hong Kong is no longer the same, with the new law delivering a death blow to HK’s freedom and way of life.pic.twitter.com/5zotwo3UoW

        Some of the masks police wore. In their recent report, police watchdog IPCC ruled that uniform worn by special tactical squad isn’t regarded as police uniform under the Police Force Ordinance, so it’s not necessary for them to display their warrant ID.pic.twitter.com/kMAsDsT0AB

        For protests in the past, there is usually an end point or a route, even if it might change spontaneously. But today, there’s none. Among protesters, there’s only one rule, your safety and lives first. This is going to be a long fight.pic.twitter.com/mHOYo1OIzd

        Blood stains left on the floor where a protester was hit by pepper ball and arrested by police. According to Stand News, the wound was so deep it exposed the bone. For those writing today’s headline, pls make clear it was state violence that occurred on the streets of HK today.pic.twitter.com/qMT2MczyyL
