Hong Kong's steady descent into a police state

[PackerFan]

The unfortunate victim is unlikely to be presently deceased. State-aligned (China) media suggest he woke from a coma and “was unable to recognise his daughter” but I have not seen any independent (neutral) confirmation of their reports as at 23rd November. Hoping he makes a fully recovery despite the original grim prognosis.

Thx for the update.

Even if we accept the argument that the first push was in response to a unobeyed request to move the second one is 100 percent indefensible.

If they can’t ID the offender could they bring a case against the officer in charge?

And this is why I try to watch the police press conferences (especially on Mondays) because you can't possibly imagine what BS excuse they can come up with. I want to hear directly from the police these lame explanations...

Glad to see now tv adding English subtitles to their reports

Worth a watch. Specially the part where the barrister volunteer heads to police stations and hospitals looking for people.

So annoyed that I saw this recruitment ad for the auxiliary police force on GeoExpat.

I thought Google should know how I felt about Asia’s “finest”... apparently not.

I wonder how much money has to be spent in this ad campaign to recruit more police, while hospitals are overcrowded and understaffed.

"We're not sure there is a rule of law any longer," Larsen said. "It becomes painfully clear that the society you live in isn't healthy when the police force sieges universities."

Why did they choose Poly U to seige?
