HONG KONG - Police fired tear gas on Sunday to disperse thousands of anti-government protesters who gathered in a central Hong Kong park but later spilled onto the streets, briefly barricading roads and spray-painting buildings.
Police said in a statement two police community liaison officers were attacked with wooden sticks and sustained head injuries. They also said some protesters threw water bottles at some other officers who were conducting a ‘stop and search’ operation. The protests, which have since broadened to include demands for universal suffrage and an independent investigation into police handling of the demonstrations, had lost some of their intensity in recent weeks.
On Jan 1, a march of tens of thousands of people ended with police firing tear gas to disperse crowds.

The formula of suppress freedom in Hong Kong = HKPolice provokes protestors and then claim to have illegal activities and stop the rally
Crazy police. The clashes were most of the time created by the police. They are uncontrollable and try to attack peaceful protesters with weapons. We need to stop police brutality, otherwise Hong Kong will be ruined.
Sorry to point out that protest in HongKong are actually pro-democracy instead of anti-government. What we always emphasise 5DemandsNot1Less, we want CCP to honour what agreed in Sino British Joint Declaration & give us true UniversalSuffrage for election of legitimate govt

Today a peaceful rally was called off by riot HKPF again in Central. Riot police fired teargas,pointing guns to peaceful civilians, assaulted civilians, an old man is beaten to bleed on head.Indiscriminately arrested civilians especially target to youths. Attacked to journalists.
palevell Do we have an international convention to ban tear gas?
All the time, they make up excuse that a few individuals create trouble then break up peaceful lawful rallies and create bloodshed! Heart-aching and deplorable!
As at today, the Hongkong police and the Hong Kong government officers did not provide any information on the content of tear gas! They just said it’s no harmful! Who can believe that! HongKongPoliceTerrorism HongKongProtests
HongKongPoliceTerrorism fire tear gas as the rally is legal and peaceful. HongKongPoliceState
Hong Kong police aren’t happy because they’re gonna get affected if the sanctions do happen. So, they provoked chaosa again. Independent Inquiry must be established HKPoliceTerrorists HKPoliceState
PRO-DEMOCRACY PROTESTERS! Not damn anti-government! That’s a tyranny!
this is the party trick of the HKPoliceTerrorists. first they make up an excuse to step in, then they use weapons to forcefully attack the crowd, abruptly ending peaceful protests. HongKong is not a free-city anymore, there is no freedom of assembly for people these days.
Video of 'peaceful' protestors western media rarely shown you: 😏
They approved the rally. Then they forcefully end it suddenly and started arresting the citizens. Ridiculous. HKPoliceTerrorists HongKongProtests

After 2.5 hour, the HongKongPolice terminate the assembly and disperse at least 15 thousands of people by teargas. There are children and elderly, unarmed and peaceful citizens. Is that so called the freedom of assembly and speech that the basic law allow us? StandwithHongKong
Again, hk police approves march, then assault protesters for all sorts of reason. Only purpose is to make us scared
Hong Kong needs help. SOSHK StandwithHK BoycottChina
That's HongKongPoliceTerrorism
HK POLICE is TERRORISTS!!!
It is a legal and peaceful assembly before these HKPoliceTerrorists arrived. They are always the source of the violence.
Since the police always uses chemical weapon and it hurts civilians health absolutely so their act is very sickening from HongKongers and we need to speak our voice to let government hear.
Tear gas in a peaceful assembly of pro democracy people, who are resisting the anti-citizen govt
One more evidence show that HKPoliceState is happening in Hong Kong.
These police are brutal and terrible! PoliceBrutality SOSHK FreeHongKong StandwithHongKong
We need hk police to be punished, they are unrestricted and have no obligations at all.
Reflector_0 It’s ridiculous that Carrie Lam claimed people of Hong Kong has freedomofexpression
Today's tragedy's exactly what happened on Jan 1: HKpolice approved the rally, enclosed the area shortly after mass of civilians gathered, declared rally illegal, and gassed the area & made arbitrary arrest of civilians trapped. This is no doubt injustice & merits sanctions.
HKPoliceTerrorists used to start up “clashes” by undercover, followed by arbitrary arrests & brutality. Today we called for Universal siege on Communists, they showed the world they are no more than a political troop by direct called off the assembly with violence w/o reason!
Nice short😍😍 HKPoliceTerrorism
And they crazy? I think they need to see doctor🤔 HongKongPolice
Another day of HongKongPolice abusing tear gas to oppress peaceful rally! This is unacceptable! StandWithHongKong HongKongProtests
I don't think it is appropriate to carry and pointing guns to unarmed citizens in a peaceful rally. HongKongPoliceTerrorists
The hk police has ignored the safety of people around there.
freedom that NOT allow assembly/ speech in HongKong & politically incorrect is a MAJOR CRIME: HKPoliceTerrorists shut down an approved rally in the middle & immediately fired TG into peaceful crowd & started arresting people for whatever reasons that came up on mind

Today, “Yellow” New Year Market at Centre Street is still peaceful without HKPoliceTerrorists! StandWithHongKong ABC_challenge AnywherebutChina
Speaking of anti-gov, ppl gather in that rally asked only for universal suffrage and investigations on policebrutality mostly. This say a lot when crowds demanding such thing was labelled as anti-gov...
Hong Kong is a HKPoliceState HKPoliceTerrorists HKPoliceTerrorism
It was completely peaceful and the rally was approved by the Hong Kong regime. The police suddenly terminated and asked 150k protesters to disperse IMMEDIATELY. It almost caused stampede and it was dangerous. Hong Kong Police are those who damage public safety.
Sanctions are needed to the HKPoliceTerrorists
Another peaceful rally abruptly intervened by hk goverment and police while they repeatedly claim hong kong has freedom of demonstration! Shame. HongKongProtests
So this is the government that a$$hole realDonaldTrump made a deal with? What, to sell all of us out to erase US debt from Chinese books?
HK police issued Non objection notice; People assemble peacefully; HK police fired tear gas.
mi281368755 HK 'Police' always fire tear gas to the peaceful protesters with no reason...
Impromptu march? The people are just leaving the rally for more people to join. Actually we have done this on 18 Aug 2019, when it is not claimed illegal.
chinazi BoycottChina china_is_terorist
You can’t believe why HKpolice can fire many tear gas to the crowd, there have so many kids and elders join in this event, they can’t move so fast to run away, it is very danger may cause many people die, hkpolicebrutality is so serious
A legal and peaceful rally was ended by brutality.😡Hk police arrested protesters treated as criminals. Please StandwithHongKong support hongkongprotest , stop HongKongPoliceTerrorists
This is crazy! HKpolice gave permission to this protest. But then they arrested and assaulted peaceful protestors who are going home. The organiser was also arrested for the more than expected number of participants. HKPoliceState
This is always the pattern. Hongkongers can never expect to have a safe and peaceful rally anymore even if it’s initially recognised as legal. Somehow because of HongKongPoliceBrutality, they’d find some excuse to force people to end a rally in a mess.
The letter of no objection statedthat the assembly can hold until 10pm. But the popo just fire the TG and turn a peaeful assembly to a disaster🤷🤷🤷
I have no idea how can these hundreds of thousands of people leave in the short period of time. Hk police should not use tear gases in this moment.
The riot HongKongPolice do the same for every legal protest. Arranging large number of police standby newrby; then ended the rally in the middle. Once ended the rally, the riot cops start arresting 🤬
It’s kind of misleading. There were people just passed by.
PoliceBrutality appears again at today’s peaceful rally. Thousands of people including children and elderly are forced to leave immediately with tear gas spreads out. This is totally unacceptable.
freedom of assembly no longer exists in Hong Kong when the HongKongPoliceTerrorists can arbitrarily cancel a legal PEACEFUL protest and attack protestors with tear gas. Time to sanction the carrielam govt and hongkongpoliceterrorists
The HKPoliceTerrorists dressing in terrorist clothing and holding fierce weapons are present everywhere in Hongkong everyday, arresting and torturing peaceful citizens not committing any crime. They’re HK Al Qaeda!
Hong Kong cease to be a free and safe city where people can enjoy freedom of assembly and speech. HKPoliceTerrorism China_is_terrorist BoycottChina HKprotests StandWithHK
Everyone was attending the rally peacefully, but the police just can’t end the day without halting it with their silly excuses And they fired tear gas and beaten people up when the people are leaving
MagnitskyAct rally ended in chaotic tear gas fired by riot police. When will the government listen and stop creating more chaos?
Violent police disperse peaceful protesters by firing tear gas into crowds without prior warnings. Terrible
People gathered to voice their resistance against the Chinese Communist Party & HK Gov. It was a perfectly peaceful rally, until the Hong Kong Police intervened. Rather than dispersing the crowd, the Police blocked many evacuation routes. They were exactly like gangsters.
Not that there really great time to visit and still safe place
They are so similar to Venezuelan fascists
'Anti-government' protesters? Nice editorializing. Which of the 5 demands is 'no government?' This is a bad take and you should feel bad.
China should learn from Macron how to solve problems like that...
what have these goons done to HKH?
