HKPolice arrest a man who was just running

I used to like wall Street Journal. But now I find it is just a tool controlled by government to tarnish China and Chinese government. If you do have watched those videos about what happened in Hong Kong, you would say they are rioters rather than fighters.

celebrate the Halloween at LKF had been a tradition for hongkongers . However it is ruined by the hkpolice .. tear gas / pepper spray / police baton had been a normal scene and even elderly / journalist had been shot by the police! HKPoliceBrutality

Hong Kong protests: weapons of mass controlPolice and protesters in Hong Kong have been locked in a spiraling cycle of violence since early June. ReutersGraphics breaks down the weapons used by police and protesters as the showdown escalated Graphics People will use whatever weapons they have to resist tyranny. Here in America, we have powerful firearms and are ever watchful for those who want to take them away. Hong Kong is a cautionary tale. Graphics Great illustration. But I think protective gears don’t count as ‘weapons’. Also, although the weapons in red are pretty small, they are bullets and its deadly. Graphics The so-called weapons used by protestors were still far more insignificant to the firearms and water cannon.
