Hong Kong leader says protesters in latest clashes can be called 'rioters'

HONG KONG - Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Monday protesters involved in the latest clashes with the police could be described as “rioters” and that she supported police upholding the law and seeking those responsible.

Hong Kong has been rocked by large and sometimes violent street protests over the past month to oppose the extradition bill, plunging the former British colony into its biggest political crisis since it was handed back to China in 1997. Police Chief Stephen Lo said late on Sunday more than 40 people were arrested for charges including assaulting police and illegal assembly.

when you called protesters as 'rioters', what do you call your HK Police? Last Sunday, the Police set up a trap to keep protesters in one area and even inside the ShaTin Plaza without any transportation running. This is mental game set up by the police. SHAME ON YOU!

Should.

Trouble ahead. Check your investments

And I found her can be called 'douche-bag'.

Or in other words people that don’t agree with the government and are standing up for there rights ?

well now she's talking like CHINA !

Why did the police enter the mall? The mall is a private property and the mall owners didn't give permission to the police to enter the property. The police went in to provoke this violence.

not can be called rioters, rioters they are

Shame on you, Lam!

Hong Kong Demonstrators Broaden Agenda as Protests SpreadProtests that began six weeks ago as a challenge to Beijing’s growing reach are broadening into a movement pursuing a range of political and social grievances, with demonstrations—and clashes with police—spreading to more parts of the city. 香港人福利太好，吃饱了闲出来的毛病，人闲生是非！ This will soon be a classic example of a negative thought spiral. An isolated incident triggers more and more sense of terribleness, causing the situation to be progressively worse. There are ways to reverse this spiral. I hope people of Hong Kong will find the ways soon.
