IN PICTURES: Hundreds of mask-wearing protesters marched through Hong Kong’s central business district this afternoon, chanting calls for their core demands and denouncing what they see as police brutality HongKongProtests

People attend a gathering to protest against what they say is the abuse of protesters by Hong Kong police, at Chater Garden in Central district, Hong Kong, China, Oct 11, 2019.

Barricades set up outside the Legislative Council building are seen in Central district, Hong Kong, China, Oct 11, 2019. Many stores and businesses have had to shut early due to metro closures, putting another burden on the city's faltering economy as it faces its first recession in a decade. Lam introduced the emergency laws, including the ban on face masks last week in an effort to quell unrest. But the ban sparked some of the worst violence since protests started.READ: Hong Kong leader says no plan to use emergency powers for other lawsShopping malls and other facilities closed early on Thursday but few demonstrators took to the streets, with only about 60 activists gathering outside one police station.

Residents, particularly those in their 20s and 30s, are calling for the protection of civil liberties. Many young people are also angry about the city's hugely expensive property, widening inequality and poor job prospects.More than 2,300 people have been arrested since the protests began to snowball in June, with many of them below the age of 16, authorities said.

These opposition legislators behaviors are thuggish, how to trust these ruffians to run the government.

Until the recent anti-mask laws, some of the rioters were quite brutal to the police too. When I imagined the rioters attacking other people's children, parents and siblings, it invalidates their moral claim.

But I only see rioters damaging public properties.

Western media don't want you to know. SHARE this video to your friends to know U.S. $$$ link to HK protests...

No, it not 'what they see as brutality' it is Brutality Think of it being done to your children to your parents to your siblings the actions of the Hong Kong police are a brutality that Invalidates their moral claim to be providing 'protection' they are not Protecting People
