Nathan road on Kowloon side is all barricades, protesters and police lines. Hard to convey the scale. #HongKongProtestspic.twitter.com/Yf9ezMblFc

Terrible news. See upthread for the video of her being shot at by the Hong Kong police despite obvious lack of threat. (She was standing with a gaggle of journalist, no protesters among them, when the police just turned around and shot into them).https://twitter.com/jerometaylor/status/1179356794793189376 …
Hong Kong protesters are marching down Sha Tsui Road—the neighborhood where the high-school teen was shot in the chest the night before. It’s a large and growing march. Heard a new slogan today, calling for the abolishment of Hong Kong’s police department. Palpable anger.pic.twitter.com/mFCj11IkQg
It’s the second spontaneous rally in Hong Kong for me today. First was in the financial and upscale district. Well-dressed white collar workers (well, wearing the protest’s signature black) streamed out of work. This is a poorer neighborhood in the new territories. Same slogans.
this is why protesters should not use violence. It only weakens their cause.
We've tried peaceful protests for 30 years. Nothing has changed. Time is running out, so we must up our game and cause damage (mostly minor economic damage - broken glass, knocked down street signs) so that our voices are listened too. We need a responsive government.
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
