Graphic footage shows Hong Kong police shooting protester at close range

Many universities cancelled classes in the wake of the shooting, and as tear gas was fired on campuses for the first time.The shooting is likely to increase calls for an independent commission of inquiry into police treatment of protesters - which received an unexpected boost from Carrie Lam’s international panel of policing experts at the weekend.

The pistol is fired at the approaching protester’s stomach. He falls to the ground. Two more live shots are fired and a second protester is apparently hit and falls. after head injuries sustained from falling from a multi-storey car park after police had fired tear gas nearby, was the first death alleged to be directly related to the Hong Kong protests that have continued for five months.

But that panel, which includes Australian Michael Adams, chief commissioner of the NSW Law Enforcement Conduct Commission, has now concluded an independent inquiry is “essential”.The panel said in a statement that the existing Hong Kong police complaints process lacked “the powers, capacity and independent investigative capability necessary to match the scale of events and the standards required of an international police watchdog operating in a society that values freedoms and rights”.

Stupid protester shouldn't of come at the police officer in a mask. He got what he deserved

And yet Australia embraces all the Chinese investments, sad really...

In critical condition with damage to kidney and liver

When the police pull out a pistol with warning Im wondering why the protesters don't out up his arm or run away but still walk towards the police

You spelt rioter wrong.

This protester has both arms down and could not be a threat to the officer who aimed and fired in the stomach. Beyond despicable and barbaric!

Apprently this unarmed civilian’s kidney and liver is badly injured. I beg the gun makes this police officer feel so powerful. Police: oh hey I can hurt u whenever I want HongKongPoliceTerrorism police HongKongProtest HongKongPolice

Apparently unarmed? FFS what is the SMH the foreign news service for the CCP?

'apparently' is the wrong choice of word when the video evidence is all over the net.

Gut shot is only from despicable cowards. Most agonising bullet wound bar none.
