Re: #standwithHongKong If I #standwithhongkong, am I siding with the Hong Kong police or with the minority of Hong Kong protestors?

Re: #standwithHongKong Tear gas use was inappropriate. No aggressive behavior by the people.

Re: #standwithHongKong Quote: RTHK: Police to cut cellphone networks in Admiralty and Central. Download firechat. Quote: @LeoAW: Pizza delivery bike drops by, leaves all available napkins with the students. They know they have support from the people.

Re: #standwithHongKong _axiom wrote: Why are they protesting? (too lazy to Google it and Croatian media aren't reporting anything yet.) To protest for a fair election for the head of gov un-interfered by Beijing. Specifically, to demand Beijing withdraw its strict guidelines for the election and restart the constitutional reform procedure. And to demand release of student protesters arrested two days ago (one was released just now on habeas corpus and the other two have a few more hours to go before police have to either press charge or let them go).

Re: #standwithHongKong I am hoping not. For the tanks to roll in, the HK government needs to declare a state of emergency and make a request to the Chinese government. But I don't know.

Re: #standwithHongKong Quote: @peterschloss: Hong Kong hasn't experienced anything like this since the 1967 Riots. Interesting to see if protesters will call for a General Strike.
