Hong Kong police chief promises flexibility ahead of rally

BEIJING/HONG KONG - Hong Kong’s new police commissioner said on Saturday his force would take a flexible approach to pro-democracy demonstrations as the city gears up for a rally on Sunday that is expected to draw a huge crowd.

“We will use both the hard and soft approach. We will be stringent on illegal violent actions such as throwing of petrol bombs, acid,” Tang told reporters in Beijing.Police have given a rare green light to the demonstration planned for Sunday by the Civil Human Rights Front group, which organized largely peaceful million-strong marches in the summer.

Tara Joseph, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, told Reuters on Saturday that she had been denied entry to the neighboring Chinese-ruled territory of Macau. In Hong Kong, several hundred pro-Beijing supporters waved Chinese flags and played mainland hymns to show support for the government and condemn violence.“We saw all the damages, all the wreckages, all the barricades on the roads, created by those yellow groups, the rioters, and we just couldn’t stand it anymore,” said Virginia Cheung, 54, a retired civil servant.

Not sure how the new commissioner is going to control those individual police committing atrocities

accountability your police officers are out of control killing and attacking people(civilians) 🇭🇰⚖️🌌

Believe it when that happens.

PK’s promise is worth as much as those from 777 x ccp, one rimibi

I hear the Undead have been stoking the fire that is freedom within every citizen of Republic, as it seems 'Democracy' & 'Democrats' might be the same word in Mandarin. China's people are calling for choice. Change to the election process will be f.u.n.

HKpolice should remember their oath. They are supposed to protect their people, instead of hurting them or even cooperated with the gangster.

the promise from Hong Kong police means nothing. I hope the police will be patient and peaceful on Sunday although it is quite impossible.

Piece of shit.
