THIS WAS an important national day for China. October 1st is the 70th anniversary of the day Mao Zedong declared the founding of the People’s Republic in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. For Xi Jinping, China’s president, it was a chance both to emphasise his claim to Mao’s mantle as China’s undisputed leader, making a speech from the very same spot, and to flaunt the strength of the country he rules.
Protests, provoked initially by the Hong Kong government's attempt to introduce legislation allowing criminal suspects to be extradited to mainland China, have lasted for over four months. Hong Kong’s hapless “chief executive”, Carrie Lam, appointed by a committee dominated by the party’s placemen, has promised to withdraw the extradition bill, but protesters have four further demands.
The march on Hong Kong Island, led by moderate pro-democracy figures, was peaceful and well choreographed. Organisers wanted a day of “mourning”—both for the millions of victims of the Communist revolution since 1949 and for the “death of freedom” in Hong Kong. Many participants wore black and held out an outstretched hand, with fingers splayed, to signify their five demands. The streets were carpeted with fake paper banknotes, the “hell money” used at traditional Chinese funerals.
Here you see whats happen if Hongkong police arrest a terrorists, which want to destroy the society.
It will only be spirally out of control, or it has already. Don't know how it could get prettier. StandwithHonKong PoliceBrutality CorruptCops PoliceTerrorism

China the sleeping giant only just re awakend from centuries of sleep to dominate! First shoddy cheap goods then by cloning products, undercutting countries industries, until they ceased trading to become reliant on Chinese goods ! Final solution to Hong Kong ? Bide their time!
Instant democracy destroyed Soviet completely, almost end up in famine; The Wall St gangsters worked very well on “privatising” everything that belongs to Soviet. Glad to see that the Chinese think twice when everyone telling China democracy is the “universal value”...oops!
Using nonsense force to heart shot protester is not reasonable, but the police still mention NO PROBLEM! PoliceBrutality
Don’t you do things to make happy your father ?
It was the tyranny making the National day ugly, not the protesters
comments here make me laugh.
one quick question: how many protestors were killed in 1967 by British Gov and how many were killed by CCP this year?
Socialism kills. Millions died in the 20th Century because of tyrannical socialists and statism. Individuals are subjugated to the interests of the state.
Only country who is trying to shoot its way out of democracy !
It is a strong message to the communist China and the world that we Hong Kong was not and is not China. Our people uphold the universal values, namely freedom, democracy, and equity. But China, no.
The police pointed to the boy’s chest and shot by a real bullet. He had violated the rules! This is a murder. HongKongProtests hkpolicebrutality
Po9Mon October1st what happened in HK is the tip of the iceberg.
HongKongProtests
This is a crime against humanity. The Hague International Court need to look into this immediately.
香港獨立永遠不會成功那你們鬧哪樣？真以為中國離開香港就崩潰了？這麼天真的嗎？中環金融圈的精英們比你們聰明，該唱國歌揮國旗的時候一點都不矯情新聞報道裡看職業細節就知道被抓進去的多數都是無知的人。
在家里吃着西瓜，看着你们这样乱，内心是开心的，继续乱下去，反正我们十四亿人民安定太平就行，想想你们诺干年被政治犯处死，继续吃瓜，天气有点热，你们继续闹，还有那些沉默的香港市民，西瓜真好吃，要不要来一
A journalist was shot blind due to hkpolicebrutality. CCP is behind all of these and HongKongers need every helping hand from the World. Please StandWithHongKong
This is murder. Ridiculously, the head of HKPF at once concluded it was lawful to shot without investigation. The HK police might have already covered many murders they did in 831 Terrorists Attack and other occasions. hkpolicebrutality HKPoliceTerrorism
射的好！早该动真格了！
It is a murder! HK police has many means eg pepper spray, warning, shot at the sky etc... BUT he chose to shot a real gun! These 2 pics were taken on 29 Sep but they tell you that HK Police enjoyed attacking people! HK police is already crazy!
Hong Kong Police are Murderer!
If not spoiled then quickly forgotten to the myriad of news events throughout the world. Thank God too, I’m tired of listenuto GretaThunberg
This is never a self defense this is a 100% murdering since the cop rushed into protesters with his firearm raised! hkpolicebrutality October1st HongKongProtests
HKPolice first called citizens cockroach, then charged into protesters and shot a kid, it is not murder then what?
Murderer definitely!! He shot intentionlly
Indonesians :
When hkpolice get out of the car, they already took real gun target on protesters, this is murder.
Meanwhile Beijing celebrates. Celebrates what? 70yrs of human rights violations. Denying freedom. Concentration camps for minority groups. Running over their children with tanks. Belligerence on the international stage. World record intellectual property thiefs. Gold.
This is just not fair. Trained police shto a kid who use d this(in the pic),and a plastic board. This is murder. hkpolicebrutality

Jesus...Still think HKPF is 'Police' defined by the civilized world?Don't be ignorant!! They are just MONSTERS with full connivance from HK Gov't/CCP...They dont respect human rights, no law, no guidelines! Did you check: 721yuenlong 831terroristattack SanUkLing
It was not necessary to shot a kid. The hkpoliceisterrorist has enough time to avoid the stick. And he is wear ARMORS. I don't see a stick can threaten its life. There was no reason to shot the kid. He is truly commited a crime. hkpoliceisterrorist are real criminals. soshk
Hi fake news , why not you report what happening in Indonesia?! Is Indonesia people's life valueless?
As a worldwide media,you should report the whole story, why a live bullet ? Because they aim to murder Hong Kong police to escalate the situation. The camera record the violence before shooting and the fact is very clear .
Po9Mon And there is still ZERO investigation to any police although there is so many PoliceBrutality
Murder HkPF wants protestors dead If they feel so scared of the stick the protestor was holding that they need to shoot Protestors just do the same for self defense as they always beaten by batons And if they can shoot so easily how come they just walked away on 7.21
This is unacceptable for using this kind of excessive and unequal force, especially they are only looking for democracy and freedom which they are granted to have HumanRightsViolations HumanitarianCrisis
Unreasonable to celebrate a dictationship for lasting 70 years
All the videos showed that clearly the shooting of the boy holding a STICK can be prevented, the police can use pepper spray or baton for so called 'self-defence' instead of shoot the boy with real bullet, it was murder. StandwithHongKong
！
Protester tried to stop the terrorist shot other citizens. He is a hero. StandWithHongKong
hkpolice murder!!!!
1 October was about Hong Kong + 2 October, November etc is about Hong Kong until all 5 demands are met...
Police used pistol out of many kinds of options.
Oh really? When was the last time you found someone was shot with a 'dead' bullet? Yes, it will be the FIRST TIME ever.
干的漂亮
When a police shooting happen in the US, the fault is on the officer himself. When it’s in hk, suddenly the fault is on all of China. Western media is pretentious and do not have sympathies for the victim. They only care about their political agenda.
Both sides have tanks and a large army. We should be fair to the winners of China’s elections.
Arme Leute.
Hahah You so called media Houses don't even remember Kashmir whr 13000 youngsters have been picked up and 1000's women raped by Endian occupying forces. It's really shame on Western Media n being bias about China.
The people saying the protesters were violent are idiots, the ccp officer literally ran into the crowd so he could shoot the protester point blank, it was NOT self defence.
U attack a police officer, u get shot... its the same everywhere in the world.
and was arrested for attacking a police officer. Two sides to every coin. Lesson? Protest is fine, but Don't attack the Police.
Roshomon effect is amazing!
Good. Those rioters are violent. Police should use maximum force.
2 sides of a coin both using force and violence.
HongKong govt does it best to spoil every Hongkonger's life. China70years
Why he was shot? Didnt he attack the police using some weapon at first? Have you ever read Isaiah berlins two types of liberty?
Power to the people of HONG KONG ! StandWithHongKong
Hong Kong, after 17 weeks of protesting increased communist control, ruins China's big day. That is a hell of a take
ButchersRuleBeijing
Many of Us Truly Care About Hong Kong. It Had For A Long Time, Been One of The Great Cities of The World. So Strange to See It Out-of-Control. The People There Are However Not Alone...We All Know That These Are Historic Very Difficult Moments For All of Humanity?
All power without control makes crazy. Alain
