Protesters adopt guerrilla-tactics across the city in bid to maximise numbers after the introduction of anti-mask law keeps many away

Tearing a page out of ancient Chinese military philosophy, protesters in Hong Kong changed tactics and popped up in small groups in multiple locations across the city Sunday rather than gather in one large demonstration, pursued by police who swooped in to make arrests.

Calls to protest posted online called for gatherings to start at 2pm in dozens of locations, including parks, malls and sports grounds. That marked a shift from earlier more concentrated rallies in fewer spots.

"It's no longer possible to get 100,000 people to come out," he said. Protesting in small, diffuse groups will complicate policing efforts, he added. But police adapted, too. Also fanned out in multiple locations, they quickly made numerous arrests. Police were on the scene within minutes after black-clad protesters set up a makeshift roadblock in a shopping district of Kowloon, sprinting out of their vans in hot pursuit of suspects.Officers pinned a young man in black to the floor and then carried him away. A young woman wearing a face mask and seemingly limping was also led away.

'Hackers' help police find thousands of new leads for missing persons casesOnline enthusiasts generate thousands of leads after a single day of 'ethical hacking' across Australia. If during their sleuthing they'd have come across war crimes committed by the US or their allies and then decided to make them known to the public, they'd be looking at 175 years in a high security prison in harshest condition and being smeared by ABC's 4corners. FreeAssange It isn't news until they get a result. Last time I checked it wasn't illegal to go somewhere else and not tell anyone unless it was due to an illegal act. I am wondering what right these nerds have to go searching for anyone just because some idiot relative or friend can't get the hint and mind their own business.
