Hong Kong Protests Turn Violent

“Hong Kong police fired tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons on Saturday, while protesters launched Molotov cocktails, as anti-government demonstrations that have roiled the territory for months once again turned violent,” NBC News reports.

“Police fired round after round of tear gas as protesters took cover behind umbrellas between the local headquarters of China’s People’s Liberation Army and government HQ. Protesters also pointed lasers and threw bricks at police.”

BBC: “Hong Kong police used water cannon to fire blue-colored water at protesters who defied a police ban and marched through the city. The colored liquid is traditionally used to make it easier for police to identify protesters.”
