Hong Kong police have stormed into a university campus held by protesters after an all-night standoff.Police had fired repeated barrages of tear gas and water cannon at protesters outside the campus since before midnight.
The protesters numbering about 200 people have assembled an arsenal of petrol bombs and bows and arrows to resist.Protesters have set fires on bridges leading to Hong Kong Polytechnic University as they try to keep police from advancing on their campus stronghold. The protesters had held ground all day Sunday near an intersection just outside the campus, as police fired tear gas and water cannons at them. Many wore rain ponchos and carried umbrellas.
The Sunday afternoon traffic disruption appears to be a diversionary tactic as other protesters face down police tear gas and water cannons in a daylong standoff outside Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Other officers fired tear gas cannisters Sunday in a bid to drive out a determined group of protesters on the streets outside Hong Kong Polytechnic University.Anti-government protesters who occupied several university campuses last week have largely retreated, but hard-liners have fortified themselves inside Polytechnic and refused to budge.Classes will remain suspended at Hong Kong schools on Monday because of continuing unrest in the city.

The_Psi_Lord Alright who's gonna tell them? Typical. Just like SJW & Snow Flakes in America.
