#HongKong police are stamping on heads, dragging and beating people senseless. This is how they behave in public.
As protestors are arrested, if they able they shout their name and "I will not commit suicide" – alerting us that if they die, it will be at the hands of the State
Just a taste of the violent arrests being made at #PolyU. Even with members of the press swarming around, excessive force is being used on protesters who are subdued and too tired to fight back.
From France to Lebanon, Chile to Iraq, these movements are nuanced & full of contradictions. Regardless of perspective or motivation, when the violence of everyday life becomes the violence of standing up against it, they all tend to look the same...

We will not be responding to any commentary on this thread. The politics behind these protests are complex, diverse in character and not always savoury.
Aggy Tankies will get the block.
#HongKong Polytechnic.
Yesterday this was the battle line in Kowloon. 1/25
Eyes & thoughts on Hong Kong right now as thousands of kids head out to break the police siege around the Polytechnic University...
Meanwhile Bolivia's very poorest attempt to halt a coup, Iraqi kids are facing live fire protesting against corruption, and on & on it goes...
A stark reminder there's no free broadband or sunlit uplands without precariousness & exploitation, shored up by profound violence. A system where in one place kids are shot for holding placards while in another people weigh up between 10k or 20k more cops with the proceeds.
