Hong Kong protests turn violent as police fire live ammunition
Hong Kong police drew their guns and fired a warning shot Sunday night after protesters attacked officers with sticks and rods, and brought out water cannon trucks for the first time, an escalation in the summerlong protests that have shaken the city’s government and residents.
The day’s main showdown took place on a major drag in the outlying Tsuen Wan district following a protest march that ended in a nearby park. While a large crowd rallied in the park, a group of hard-line protesters took over a main street, strewing bamboo poles on the pavement and lining up orange and white traffic barriers and cones to obstruct police.
After hoisting warning flags, police used tear gas to try to disperse the crowd. Protesters responded by throwing bricks and gasoline bombs toward the police. The result was a surreal scene of small fires and scattered paving bricks on the street between the two sides, rising clouds of tear gas and green and blue laser lights pointed by the protesters at the police.

Riot police clashed with protesters in Hong Kong’s Kowloon district and police drew their guns for one of the first times since the protests began. The CBC’s Chris Brown was in the thick of it as the violence intensified.

BOMBSHELL, ON-THE-GROUND COVERAGE:
HONG KONG PROTESTS EXPOSE FREEFALL COLLAPSE OF GLOBALISM
Despite fears of being kidnapped by Chinese forces, protestors still press on
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
Beijing’s decision to focus less on Hong Kong while building up neighboring Shenzhen as a rival city reveals the loosening influence that globalism is having on world populations.China knows the world is watching, and has avoided a Tiananmen Square-style response to the Hong Kong protests so far in part because many of the young protesters have nothing to lose due to extreme cost of living in the city combined with low wages.Some estimates indicate that nearly half of Hong Kong’s population are considered “working poor” in which they are employed, but don’t make enough money for basic living needs.According to ChinaUrbanDevelopment.com:The picture is clear: Hong Kong is expensive, and housing is a huge expense for most people. Price-To-Income (a basic measurement for housing affordability) in Hong Kong is almost double that of New York City (35.8 in HK; 19.5 in NYC).What can low-income residents do? Some have the patience to wait in extremely inhumane living arrangements until the day a public housing spot opens up: some build shelters on others’ roofs, and some spend their nights at McDonald’s as McRefugees. Most of them live “creatively” day-to-day, because they have no other choice.In short, such a heavy-handed response against protesters would backfire, and in a way it’s unprecedented for China to instead focus on a relatively-peaceful solution of developing Shenzhen as a more “autonomous special economic zone.”Infowars is on the ground in Hong Kong with in-depth interviews with locals and unprecedented coverage of what’s going on.And as you’ll see from the following reports, many of the protesters fear being kidnapped by Chinese authorities, but that hasn’t stopped them from pressing on, which highlights the waning influence of globalism pushed by highly-centralized governments.Hong Kong protesters comment on the extradition bill and some of what is experienced from mainland China. #HongKongProtestsFull report here: https://t.co/orftOYePdb pic.twitter.com/5QSjBb2FzM— Sav (@sav_says_) August 22, 2019The East Is The New West.
