Hong Kong seriously needs to study US riot control methods. It looks like amateur hour out there.

The rioters are throwing Molotov cocktails and the cops have no idea how to handle it. I’m surprised Eirk Prince hasn’t offered to come on as a consultant.

Those "rioters" appear to be undercover police. They're doing this to give the police plausible deniability.

As a Hong Konger, the problem isn't that the cops are amateurs; it's that the police are currently terrorizing HK residents. If Erik Prince helps them, he should know he's supporting state terrorism.
