Sunday's clashes took place at the end of another huge rally - this time in Sha Tin, a district that lies between the main urban sprawl around the harbour and the Chinese border.Violence broke out briefly in the afternoon after the rally as protesters seized a junction and built barricades, causing an hours-long stand-off with riot police.
At least one officer was seen knocked unconscious and there was blood on the floor of the mall. Police with shields and batons charged up to higher floors and made multiple arrests in a building filled with luxury fashion stores. Tens of thousands marched through Sha Tin on Sunday, the fifth week in a row that Hong Kong has seen such huge rallies."We have marched so many times but the government still didn't listen, forcing everyone to take to the street," Tony Wong, a 24-year-old protester on the Sha Tin march, told AFP.Many protesters see the rallies as part of an existential fight against an increasingly assertive Beijing.
Good one. Hit these protestors hard and let them never be able to protest again. People just need to be taught lessons before they will learn. Hong Kongers too rich and can protest and don’t go to work.
I am really shocked,amazed and happy to note that, HONGKONG, is the only City(autonomous) in the World, where it's Citizens are so protective of their personal rights,liberty and freedom. GREAT....
What started our as peaceful demonstrations has turned into mindless violence. These protesters have lost credibility from the time they took over the government building and defaced it. In my opinion, the police response is warranted in response to the violent protesters.
*Everyone watching from above* 'Wow, free show.'
Like that protest are for the good of HK people?I really doubt..
A peaceful and beautiful place. Became a place of unrest and violence. Why disrupt the peace? Very sad to see this.
Hongkies really take their sales too damn seriously...
