Scary state of the "security advice" sector. This person who gets funding to provide security advice/training to activists has no idea about the *standard* police warning flag in Hong Kong and thinks it's a protester tactic. Such ignorance would be funny if it weren't dangerous. https://twitter.com/roryireland/status/1165270513792557063 …

I’m not talking about getting a few details wrong. We all get stuff wrong. I’m talking about the arrogance of commenting and even taking grants to provide advice on situations completely out of one’s area of expertise, knowledge, or fieldwork. First. Hire. Or. Listen. To. Locals.

He still wants me to do his work.
Honestly, if it was fixable, I’d quietly offer corrections. It’s. Beyond. Fixing. Hire some Hong Kong based researchers and get out of the way. Preferably, get out of the business. There are other ways to make money. https://twitter.com/roryireland/status/1169332901697204225 …This Tweet is unavailable.Show this thread -
This pic sums up what’s going on. Many reporters, the security-industrial complex, viral accounts: they’re giving you a fantasy. Keep Hong Kong’s brave and tenacious protesters in your thoughts. They are more than our projections. They are fighting for their lives and future./npic.twitter.com/qV7BoAA3iB

I cannot believe his defense is to consistent tell you he just thinks it's interesting, like that's something that actually matters
