Watch for the police yelling "Preserve the peace!" at the cameraman towards the end. The cameraman shouted back, "Freedom of the press!" The policeman won.

Yup, it says that on paper... but you really think that's what happens?

This is brutal, you ain't see nothing yet. Have you seen generation kill on HBO, two american soldiers got shot in the legs, then they call in an air strike, leveled the whole fucking village, that is brutal.

Article 22

As i had said in my earlier comment, on that day i noticed lots of mainland ppl. (speakin photungua).These hooligans were behind are the ones disrupting the preaceful protest.

The best solutions is that the borders should be controlled on such ocassions coz soem outsiders are intefering in our HK affairs.

As the HK Law says no can intefere HK affair leave alone CCP. see article 22.

Go to Iraq, talk to US what is justice, human rights & freedom. I am sure, they will treat you very very peacefully. They just killed more than 1.3 million Iraqi in there. They are willing to kill more, so go there. You should know that US is the biggest real 'democracy, freedom, human rights & justice' country in the world.

You are lucky living in HK! HK police protect you like that.

Yeah I guess you've got a point there. Don't get me wrong - I'm a Hong Konger and I'm ashamed to see so many other Hong Kongers opposing your pro-democracy demonstration as if they don't want democracy. I say if they don't want democracy they shouldn't be living in Hong Kong. By the way were you one of the people in the video that was dragged away by police? Just curious.

law enforcement should be about justice not efficiency - why weren't those who were attacking us detained by the 3000 police on the streets? If efficiency ruled the justice system, prisons would be full of innocent skapegoats, as it'd be quicker to just arrest *anyone* and pin the crime on them. No-one should fear expressing their opinion and Hong Konger's should be worried about their freedom of speech

[ailun85]

Yes but they also have the responsibility to facilitate and enable you to not get hurt by crazy pro-beijing people. And because there was too many of them and so few of you, the most efficient way to handle the situation was to get take you away.
