  1. “Pro democracy activist” throwing petrol bombs at police, what does that say about “democracy”? It’s f****ng bul***it.

    1. Maybe we should have given Hitler’s SS a basket of fruit and a hug when he sent them into neighboring countries to take away their freedom.

  2. Protesters?

    I saw the rioters starting fires, sling shooting bricks, throwing Molotov Cocktails at the police before the police unleashed the water cannons and began making arrests.

    1. When governments make peaceful protests impossible violent unrest is inevitable. Democracy is worth fighting for.

  3. They’re using dye so that way the next day they’ll be able to tell who the trouble makers are.😩😢😢

  4. I like it. Blue Freedom Fighters. Everyone over there who supports the BFF should color themselves with blue die.

  5. An example of totalitarianism at it’s finest by the Chinese Government. Is this a snapshot into our future, where governments can bully, beat and intimidate citizens.

  6. The primary perpetrators of violence were the police, with only a handful of protesters retaliating. The overwhelming vast majority of protesters were peaceful and tried to escape police when confronted, they didn’t try to fight back.

  7. Funny how these folks who have lost freedom are willing to die to regain it, but over her in Canada our youth are running towards communism, do you think they may be influenced by the school system to think this way?

  8. The protesters are more violent than the police Pro democracy? Hong Kong never had democracy under the British and still don’t have it As for excessive force not true Ask the yellow vest in France G20 protesters in Toronto Pipeline protesters in Dakota How about the protest in Honduras where Obama and Hillary coued a democratically elected President
