Hong Kong's steady descent into a police state

[mrgoodkat]

I drove past some what I assume were Police today in a new dark navy uniform. Didn't look like the normal formal dark blue jackets. Near Shatin a group of around 10 with clipboards and walking purposefully. For a second I thought I had driven across the boundary

Fire Service Department?

Fire Service Department?

No, much sloppier looking uniform.

A hundred police in a mall just because. Is this gonna be the new normal?
The steady descent could take a sudden acceleration...

Edit: there were a few people ready to chant in the atrium, not many it seems, and the whole affair looked quite peaceful and unthreatening.
