    You can see how unlawful the police are: they used baton to smash arrested protesters lying on the ground vengefully. That’s why we need independent investigation on their violence: they are acting with impunity now.

    I am astonished by this wonky comment. The protestors are not carrying a suicide mission and military bloodshed is the last thing that protestors and HK people want to see. DO NOT justify the intervention and violence from the CHINA side. Victim blaming is not gonna help.

    Let me make it clear: the root cause of the escalation of the use of force by the protestors is the police acting with impunity, so that the protestors have to impose even the slightest deterrence effect. Best way to deesculate: implement democratic accountability on police.

    The white vans of the police ran INTO the protesting crowd and caused a stampeding accident which led to numerous injuries. That was not a dispersing strategy: that’s purely vengeful assault.

    Police officers cornered hundreds of protesters who occupied PolyU, offering them one way out: "drop your weapons" and surrender (and possibly face up to 10 years in jail), or be met with a hail of tear gas and rubber bullets (and still risk arrest).
