Hong Kong pro-democracy rally cut short by police tear gas

Protesters attend a rally in Hong Kong, Sunday, Dec. 1, 2019. China accused the U.N. high commissioner for human rights of emboldening "radical violence" in Hong Kong by suggesting the city's leader conduct an investigation into reports of excessive use of force by police. The back and forth came ahead of three marches on Sunday in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.

The Kowloon march was cut short after riot police fired tear gas and arrested a few people. A police statement said minimum force was deployed after “hundreds of rioters hurled smoke bombs” and bricks. Lam has said she’ll accelerate dialogue but has refused to offer any new concessions since the elections. Her government has accepted only one demand — withdrawing extradition legislation that would have sent suspects to mainland China for trial.

Waving American flags, black-clad protesters marched to the U.S. Consulate to thank Trump for signing into law last week legislation supporting their cause and urged him to swiftly sanction Lam and other officials for suppressing human rights.

Like I said their gullible to his lies! He’s only using them & they don’t see it!

but... but orange man bad!!!

They don't know POTUS doesn't care about democracy and is using them in the trade war with China.

Oh hell no

Good Luck Hong Kong'ers, but if you think Trump will, in the end, come to your assistance you are VERY sadly mistaken. When a Trade Deal is possible, Trump will throw you under the Bus.

He can't even liberate America.

Why can't the U.S. do a movement like this until realDonaldTrump is chased out of office along with LindseyGrahamSC and moscow Mitch

Please please Please please Please please, people of Hong Kong do not ever put your eggs in Trump”s Basket! Be aware of Trump’s curse.

Amazing how quickly Congress passes law about Hong Kong but can’t pass immigration or gun laws. Congress = failure!

Yes these democratic terrorists are making a great tomb stone for all the Hongkees, congrats!

Turfline give me a break. Trump cannot even liberate the US of marxists

What's in it for him? Don't trust a thing he does.
