He's a "violent" protester that assault police officer, throw fire bomb and destroy public light and causing chaos everywhere?
Even though he's a member of the press, not foreign if I understand.

It's in the first post, it's called the 5 demand.
1. Take the extradiction bill away completely, it has only been remove temporary for now, HK people want a promise that it will not be brough up again, or in the future, HK Chief Executifve Carrie Lam (Think PM or President) have said it's being discussed away for now)
2. Release all arrested protester/activist that has been arrested and promise of no prosecution (700+ people arrested since june, 149 people arrested yesterday)
3. Open investagtion by third party or trusted orginization into police brutality action so far.
4. Change the wording of riot, since the June protest, Police have used riot to describe peaceful march to sit-in
5. Open election as promised between the CCP and Hong Kong handback to China, current system is China choose candidate, Hong Kong want open election by all citizen of Hong Kong with open candidate from Hong Kong Citizen.
And in newest HK police news
HK police was filmed/phograhed putting weapon/bamboo stick into backpack of arrested protestor
And in the newest protester news, a Chinese traveler is detained by the protester because they think he is a China policeman. He pass out, protestor refuse to let ambulance to take him away, it has been over 2 hrs and the ambulance still get stuck in airport

And regarding the popular police being thrown firebomb
The person throwing the fire bomb is a member of Hong Kong police Swat, identity is in the news article
Him and 3 other were filmed/photographed with ear piece, and seemingly doing violent b ehavior to give justification for Police t o respond with violence.
The HK police working on behalf of the state to make themselves look good and demonize the protestors????????
Shocking news, etc.

Americans ain't about that life as much as they'd have you believe it on social media.
There is nothing we could discuss if you believe these kind of article that lack evident .
They have a channel on youtube
Now the cops are here. This live steaming is pretty exciting.
edit: the cops garbed the guy to the ambulance.
edit2: now the protesters are sitting on road blocking the ambulance

Why are they blocking the ambulance? Hurting or killing the guy will only damage their cause. Their rage shouldn't be used like this :(
Fuck.
They beat up the guy on suspicion of being a gongan undercover and had standoff with the rescuers for 3-4 hours.
Now the cops are here shooting pepper spray.
Should change that tweet to "@ramsaysky is on the ground in Hong Kong airport, but will soon be in a truck"
I just flew out of hong kong airport back to Japan and my flight was 6 hours delayed, with half of the flights on the board being cancelled completely. Am also flying back to Hong Kong tomorrow morning so hopefully this all simmers down a bit.

Holy shit, I don't know what the path to de-escalation is at this point, but I just hope they find it.
The way the protest is heated today, I bet they will be back tomorrow.
Thats the thing, I was at the airport for about 8 hours today and saw no trouble, fighting or any problems at all. Unless this has just blown up within the last 6 hours, in which case I missed it.
I mean its live streaming on youtube right now, you can check it out.
edit: if you have mainland id card, burn it.
I am watching the chaos live now and man, things have gotten really out of hand. The guy is also fucking stupid to go in there. The protesters had gone overboard too, some tried to punch the man even when he is already detained.
Fuck, Good luck Hong Kong.
Nobody, they claim he is pretending to be press and find a cloth in his belonging says I <3 police . Lot of shouting from the protesters say "fuck your mother" "all your family go die"
Shit I didnt realise its going on right now, I had a lucky escape then. But my flight back there is in about 7 hours time so hopefully things settle down by then
They further beat up the guy. The poor guy seems pass out, some press , medical trying to aid him. People shouting throw him out
They have pretty specific and explicit demands, I don't think it's terribly helpful to think about this on those abstract terms.
Specifically -
- a full withdrawal of a proposed bill that would allow Hong Kong people to be extradited to mainland China
- a retraction of any characterization of the movement as a "riot"
- a retraction of charges against anti-extradition protesters
- an independent committee to investigate the Hong Kong police's use of force
- universal suffrage in elections for the city's chief executive officer and legislature by 2020
Trump really hasn't signed many controversial bills into law. He's put out some questionable executive orders, nearly all of which get tied up in the courts. The stuff at the Mexican border affects so few Americans, and the vast majority of the country is so far removed from where it's happening.Trump will be a blip in all of our lives.
Hong Kong is a totally different situation.
And lot of people still trying to block the way out, shouting don't let him go. These are your peaceful protesters , fighting for freedom and democracy
Honestly, they want to "keep HK the way it is forever" more than freedom. But its not as fancy a slogan to put in a sign.
Where do you find moles who are 18-25 years old and also can roll off Cantonese profanity like poetry?
The guy got beaten has been identified , a press from global time.
He got detained and beat up because he says he support the police.

Some of these protestors are really making that line grey between non-violent and violent by attacking these police officers. Surprised the officer didn't shoot in this video.
To be fair it is easy to see how one could summarize those points to freedom. I would think that the protesters at least sees it that way.
Are we not seeing how the officer randomly tackled some woman at the beginning of this video
Woman being pushed to the ground and arrested by the policeman for no reason (she might not even be a protester). Police have been arbitrarily arresting anyone they like, so protesters have begun to fight back. Fortunately the police in Hong Kong are not as trigger happy, but shooting in the airport would cause an international scene. Police commanders were seen dragging their forces out asap and saying "the press are here, we can't be seen here".
