Hong Kongers kicked off the weekend with another anti-government mass rally amid accusations of excessive force by police. More here:
HONG KONG - Hong Kong police fired tear gas on Saturday night in confrontations with black-clad activists in the city’s Kowloon area, as the Chinese-controlled territory was again rocked by anti-government protests.
Police said they used tear gas to disperse the crowd after protesters set fires outside the Tsim Sha Tsui police station and “damaged multiple vehicles inside the station”. “If the police are too strong, we will leave. They are a rock, so we must be like water,” he added, echoing a refrain of Hong Kong martial arts legend Bruce Lee that has been taken up by activists.
Sylvia Lam, 61, who described herself as a housewife, said she had turned up at the pro-police rally to oppose violence.
