      Police are throwing tear gas at the wave of young Hong Kong protesters who are banging drums near the police station. It’s a sea of helmets and gas masks. They’ve apparently been told to disperse or be fired at with rubber bullets. (I’m fine folks, no worries). #HongKongProtestspic.twitter.com/rPl9WvxyQX

      A tear gas canister landed right next to me. I was given an eyewash within 30 seconds or so. (I’m fine. I stepped further away.) This #HongKongProtests have been more “Telegram and Tear Gas” so far, but it’s also clear the protesters have their logistics down. :-)pic.twitter.com/T1S4JEOa3d

      Folks, I’m fine and away from the protest area now. I hope everyone stays safe out there. #HongKongProtests

      This is terrible, to tear gas a subway station. Lots of people will be stuck within a confined space. #HongKongProtestshttps://twitter.com/stegersaurus/status/1160538322906669056 …

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Hong Kong Free Press HKFP

      Two huge dangers associated with tear gas are using it in confined spaces and the canister being shot straight—instead of upwards, about 45 degree angle, so it doesn't directly hit someone. This picture from the #HongKongprotests seems to show both. :-(https://twitter.com/HongKongFP/status/1160543890065068032 …

      Dear #ASA19. I appear on the schedule but I couldn’t make it this year due to #HongKongProtests, and couldn’t change it on paper on time. (Protests don’t lend to scheduling ahead of time😬!) Also the subway here runs better in the middle of huge protests than the usual in NYC. 🤷‍♀️

      For the past two months, a few scholars and I have been doing onsite survey on Hong Kong's anti-ELAB movement. Here is a preliminary report on 12 protests since June 9: https://sites.google.com/view/antielabsurvey-eng … pic.twitter.com/fTUWRltPTc

      In an unprecedented move, the Hong Kong airport has been shut down to all flights as thousands protesting police actions yesterday have flocked to it. I saw a line of protesters walking back/waiting for buses about a mile deep. Thousands still here. #HongKongProtestspic.twitter.com/WjvE3t3AQL

      There are thousands of young protesters here with just banners and signs. I’ll leave when they all do.
