Hong Kong on 'brink of total breakdown', police warn

On Monday police officers fired volley after volley of tear gas in the central financial district, where some protesters blocked streets lined with banks and jewellery shops. Most had their shutters down.

Protesters at City University stockpiled bricks and petrol bombs on the bridges and other approaches and were making small devices with nails, apparently to puncture tyres. "It's crazy that police have been firing tear gas for more than 20 minutes. If they didn't come in, we wouldn't clash with them. It's our school. We need to protect our home," Candy, 20, a student, said.

Police also fired tear gas in the nearby new town of Tai Po, where protesters took shelter on the street behind umbrellas.

Why is the abc taking a pro-Beijing stance on all their articles on HongKongProtest ? It’s sickening to see them legitimize CCP propaganda and lies and avoid the hard topics like arresting hundreds of underage school girls auspol

Firebombs, not good, I'd shoot you too if you threw one of those at me, and I support HK democracy 100%. From an ethical point of view all acts that clearly risk killing or inflicting serious injury to the target can be responded to with lethal means, this can't be ignored.

It's sad that it has come to this when it started it was about deportation in its about desperation.

People. Please stop accusing of protestors destroying over dead objects. It is the government inaction that cost all these unnecessary casualties fights and force. It is the police brutality towards unarmed protestors since june that led to this. StandwithHK HongKong

It needs to be remembered that ONE person started this whole mess, Carrie Lam:-(

the 'protestors' are behaving like jihadists..

They are not 'peaceful protesters', they are roiters and Terrorists

its_misterio Our society has been pushed to the brink of a total breakdown,' a police spokesman told a briefing, referring to the past two days of violence. Hmmmm... who still believes what police say in this day & age. Cops are political revenue raising bouncers.

hkpolice raid Chinese University and blocked entry of first-aid meterials. They have refused the mediation request from the University Head. hkGovt has no plan to settle the crisis, they want to start Tiananmen2019 . World, HongKong is calling SOS , please Save us.

Imagine if the strength of feeling for democracy was able to be transported from HK to the streets of Beijing! That would really rock the CCP to its core.

Hong Kong protester shot at close range by police as chaos erupts across cityLive broadcasts on Facebook show a Hong Kong police officer shooting a protester at close range, amid clashes. They need to use tasers and sprays, not guns. Shootings are attempted murder, those police officers ought to be charged. hkpoliceforce Take the guns off of them. Obviously they don't know when to use them. Protesters don't have guns thus police ought to carry batons, sprays. The Socialists at the ABC must be thinking to themselves how lucky they are to not live in a Communist nation.. the irony I support the democracy movement in HK 100% but if a person is stupid enough to try & get a gun off a cop, & that is clearly what they did do, then they should not be surprised if the cop assumes that they intend to use it on them. i.e. Nasty situation but clearly self defence.
