Sidenote, Hk police =/= mainland police, right? I was under the impression HK has quite a bit of autonomy and tons of liberalism as a result. This isn't a post supporting the color revolution fwiw, I'm just ignorant about HK

The Hong Kong police aren't Chinese mainland police or secret agents, but they showed saintly levels of restraint against the Hong Kong terrorist-backed nutjobs.
