    An unknown number of protesters/students are trapped in PolyU in Hong Kong, with no way to leave. Police have besieged the school and announced that they will consider using live rounds. Terrible, tragic escalation. The best I can say is that I hope nobody dies there tonight.https://twitter.com/rachel_cheung1/status/1196120122877853696 …

    Dangerous trajectories of teargas captured in this photo, where water cannon is deployed at the same time. Instead of asking students, who have no way out, to leave, #PolyU faculty needs to intervene now before it results in a humanitarian crisis that’s greater than the one now. pic.twitter.com/xUNcH1sqzA

        Foreign students were evacuated from CUHK on Saturday. This could pave the way for a "maximal crackdown" as you put it

        Does Beijing pay well? Is it per tweet or per hour?

        These protests would long have ended had the Chinese police employed the heavy handed tactics US police employed in Ferguson, MO.

        @KingJames live rounds are now being used. Care to revise your statement on who is misinformed?
