Interrupting the morning commute, and that’s all. How big is a sin is that that he ended up being shot? He wanted to save another protester who was grabbed by the police, but still he was unarmed. The police could have just shoot at the sky to scare him away, but he shoot to kill

No weapons and HK Police shot a live round!

This is massacre

LeeeM08649329 They are unarmed protesters.. If the police really think shooting is required and he is in a very dangerous situation, there is a choice, to shot his leg, to shot to the sky, to shot his heart/abdomen. HKpolice you think you are a hero? You are a cold-blood monster.

realDonaldTrump can u see what the hell China is doing to Hong Kong ! U need to say something, as u are the top Influential International President in the world !!

what did this unarmed protester do to make the police officer had to shot him!?

The protestor was without any weapons, facing the police without any intent of attack, then got gun shot HKPoliceMurderer StandwithHK

This is no joke. Tiananmen2019 is happening today

The kid is unarmed but the police still shoot him.

Hong Kong protesters are risking their lives 😭 HongKongProtests

And then HKPolice investigate themselves What a HKPoliceState

And the poor young protester being shot was further badly treated by another masked police (NOT giving him first aid obviously) on the very spot before his being sent to hospital!

Given in USA these terrorist will be shot 100 times long before they could attack the police! Police hv 100% right to defend themselves to maintain peace & order.

Please join and support HongKongProtests for democracy. We need international power to fight against CCP

Resist. Revenge. The shooting happened when there were not any life threats.

The cop pulled out a pistol, pointed at the man in white, charged towards him, and grabbed him in his arm and started aiming at the man in black. The man in black, empty-handed, walked closer, and got shot. And the police said this is necessary to protect the gun and himself?

And the HongKongPolice tear gassed an elementary school when kids are in there and no HongKongProtests around. disbandhongkongpoliceforce

HongKongPolice have lost control and the HKers have been shot as the minimum force guide.

HongKongPolice is helping CCP to shut HongKongers mouth by any means.

HKPolice is insane!!! they are the threat to citizens life!!

Hong Kong Police are Murderers.

Another point to note: Before those shots, the gun of that HKPoliceMurderer was right in front of another protester’s chest

This is very dangerous for HongKongPolice to use weapon when they cannot control their emotion and there are no punishments on them. Independent investigation must be carried out ASAP. FiveDemandsNotOneLess StandWithHongKong FightForFreedom

Not the first and not the last. I believe this situation will more common

The boy didn’t even touch the officer... Using live ammunition in this situation is never justifiable!

Let's not forget that those who got shot weren't even armed.

It’s murder!

HKPolice shoot without a acceptable reason HKPoliceMurderer

This is a murder. hkpolice fired live buffet to unarmed protester

It's human life, while the Hong Kong Police deployed guns like playing wargames. The city is shocked. It should be a civilized city. At the moment, it's a warzone.

They shoot the unarmed protestors without any warnings. And why did they move the injured carelessly & brutally? What were the Hong Kong Police doing to the injured? PoliceBrutality StandWithHongKong

Please note that HKers understand reasonable force may be used by HK Police. What we are angry about is the unnecessarily excessive force on protestors.

unnamed protester only why need fire real bullet ? reasonable? HongKongProtests

Yes, it is lethal. But the boy was unarmed. HongKong Police murder teenagers again. They even said 3 shot was too less. No humanity at all. Bloody regime CCP back them up, so they now can kill peaceful protestors like what CCP did in 1989 Tiananmen. SOSHK
