You're correct, assault is assault and should be punished. Incidentally, most of the more intense violence I've witnessed has been from the HK police: a quick selection from the front page of https://www.reddit.com/r/HongKong/

But categorizing 2 million people who participated in the protests (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-48656471) as rioters is ridiculous.

Just FYI, both Reuters and CNN dispute the 2 million number, as some of the photos were manipulated,

That's not what you links said. Would you like to correct your assertion?
