I’m actually surprised by how professional the police are acting.

The protesters are throwing Molotovs and yet no one has been killed.

After 2 months of riots, the police have been very reserved in there actions compared to other SWAT happy countries.

Will it? I think over time, people will forget.

When the British colonized Hong Kong, they were especially brutal to the protestors. During the protests in the late 1960s, the British controlled police killed over 50 protesters.

Yet today, the protesters are wishing for the British to intervene.
