Protesters react to tear gas during a confrontation with riot police in Hong Kong Sunday, July 21, 2019. Hong Kong police launched tear gas at protesters Sunday after a massive pro-democracy march continued late into the evening. The action was the latest confrontation between police and demonstrators who have taken to the streets to protest an extradition bill and call for electoral reforms in the Chinese territory.
Protesters threw eggs at the building and spray-painted its surrounding surveillance cameras. China’s national emblem, which adorns the front of the Liaison Office, was splattered with black ink. The Liaison Office said in comments published on Chinese state media that the acts “openly challenged the authority of the central government and touched the bottom line of the ‘one country, two systems’ principle.
Footage from Apple Daily showed the attackers using umbrellas to beat people in the station and inside a subway car. Subway passengers filmed by Stand News and iCABLE angrily accused police officers of not intervening in the attack. Stand News reporter Gwyneth Ho said on Facebook that she suffered minor injuries to her hands and shoulder, and was dizzy from a head injury.
Organizers said 430,000 people participated in Sunday’s march, while police said there were 138,000 during the procession’s “peak period.” Walking in sweltering heat, protesters dressed in black kicked off Sunday’s march at a public park, carrying a large banner that read “Independent Inquiry for Rule of Law.”

I believe the US is almost at this same point. If we don’t wake up this will become our reality.
Wow so this is the democracy? Got it. I think that’s why original Chinese people don’t want this kind of “democracy”
Of course, it was always just a matter of time when China sent their best fighters 🤦♂️ to incite further chaos.
These could Hong Kong incidents could prove to be a bigger problem than the US tariffs.

I think it has gone a bit too far.
what will happen if mainland stop providing supplies to Hongkong?
Send them guns! We should be good for that, at least!
They pushed a regime that will crush them. Whatever freedoms they had will now be reduced. Until they are gone. Wave bye-bye.
If they truly believed in democracy they wouldn't use violence to get their way. They are thugs with a hidden agenda.
Protesters have the right to express their ideas but they can’t violate laws, attack HK police and destroy peace in the name of free speech.
With protesters filling the streets on sunday, where are the Amahs today?
