HONG KONG - Hong Kong anti-government protesters paralysed parts of the Asian financial hub for a third day on Wednesday, with some transport links, schools and many businesses closing as police warned of a rise in violence to a deadly level.
Protesters and police had battled through Tuesday night at university campuses only hours after a senior police officer said the Chinese-ruled city had been pushed to the “brink of a total breakdown”. Hong Kong’s Education Bureau said all schools would shut on Thursday. Several universities said they would be introducing online learning and other assessment methods for the remaining weeks of the term.
“Rioters’ violence reached a very dangerous and even deadly level,” senior police office Tse Chun-chung told a media briefing. Hong Kong’s Hospital Authority said 81 people had been injured since Monday, with two in serious condition. The youngest was 10 months old but the cause of the infant’s injuries was not known.
These are the real weapon of the Government/police. Armed thugs attacking civilians at Sheung Shui now, again there is no sign of police force. 721YuenLong re-run SOSHK HongKongProtesters
The masked protesters are terrorists in disguise. Burning people, petrol bombs, attacking those who don’t support them. What do the general hk people think? They don’t support this violence. Soon the PLA will come in to clean up this mess.
Good bye to the peaceful & prosperous hongkong.
Unfortunately the rioters are out of control, when they met dissidents, they choose dead violence other than respect others. Yesterday, another old HKer was beat seriously by rioters and dead from social media. Is that the free and common value U shared with western?
Free is right for everyone, not only for rioters, but also for public. U fight for ur free, dose not mean u could destroy others. To protect the public, that is the job for police.
Why police enter the campus to disperse the rioters? The main reason is the Tolo highway are blocked by rioters which is the mainstream to the mainland. Rioters throw brick and something else from the bridge upon the highway in CUHK Campus. To protect the vehicle, the popo in
And still the power of two sides is significantly unbalanced. The cops are holding guns with live rounds while HongKongers have no guns. HongKongProstests
Rioters occupied the campus and forced students out off. Just the same thing they did in MTR stations. Setting fire,beating people,destroying facilities, that’s all they did.
Oh God, Tienamen Square coming again.Politicians block their ears to the pleas of a people as usual.And then bloodshed is coming like the rain.
There were not harmful for hk police, which equipped gears and shooting chemical weapons like tear gases
Bungled Independence by the British again, as usual.Barton s will soon be upgraded to Kalashnikovs,if the Chinese don't listen.
This is why America has the second amendment.
The invasion from riot police didnt stop for whole 2 days!! Students are trying to protect themselves and the campus with what ever they have. CCP is trying to rip out our next generation. Pls save us SOSHK

What they want to destroy? public facility, citizen life? Security and whole city. I thought they want more than their requested? what is real motivation behind? These thugs want to turn the HK as battlefield then crack them in the ground.
Police are poisoning our societies and children, by firing hundreds of tear gas into our neighborhoods.

if they do this to NYPD, LAPD, you know the consequent,
Has REUTERS been taken over by the CCP-STATE?! You did it AGAIN. Appallingly, your reporting neglected to mention that the HKpolice stormed HK campuses w/o PROVOCATION - unless you agree with 🇨🇳that unis are purveyors of the 'disease' of W liberalism that must be extirpated.
That's 6G technology...
No talk at all of the fully militarized police’s wielding of assault rifles.
University should not be the shield of them to break law.
It is not a fair fight. But we try to do our best to resist. FreeHK
The students just want to protect their school. HongKongPoliceTerrorism HongKongPoliceBurtality SOSHK
What China is waiting for and not bringing out the tanks? Mao would have crushed this protest within hours. The new Chinese government is too democratic
healthy society needs protests
these people will be die！
BeLightinHK Police have no idea how much CUHK students love their school and campus. They made a terrible mistake to invade their home.
With no warramt and proper reason, thousands of rounds is fired against the university ysterday, student are seriously injured and the CE is enjoying in a party. Hong Kong is now in rule by a tyrant! soshongkong

Need guns
What has the tyranny done to the city? This is very sad to witness all these
kaleb_johns
it is a battle brought by HKPoliceTerrorists they are forced to defend their campus Javelin, Bow n arrows are nothing more than equipment of their extracurricular activities
This isn't protests its a civil war ruining their own home...what a pity
Two days ago the rioters burnt one citizen who holds different opinion and today an old cleaner whom tried to clean the road was killed by their throwing bricks. They call “kill all the different opinions” as their way of “democracy” and “freedom”.
Hope you could be fair on reporting the HongKongProtest , what HongKonger face EVERYDAY is PoliceBrutality with tear gus and bullets. WE MAY LOSS OUR LIFE when facing HKPoliceTerrorists
Right. Vs modern guns and riot control agents and real bullets. It’s not a battle on equal grounds at all.
It’s a war with unfair advantage on one side, a side with absolutely equipment and all chemical weapons, and can murder/kill/arrest/torture wherever and whoever they want without reason or need to bear consequences. And the other side, just flesh and blood. Fair?
Don’t forget the police also “upgraded” their use of force, they are now using guns when confronting unarmed protesters And on 11.11 two people got shot, on 11.12 one people got shot
It is the result of the excessive use of force including 1500 teargas and tons of bullets. Only the mainland students are eligible to evacuate. The Hong Kong police start invading into other universities such as BUHK and HKU. Please save Hong Kong students! SOSHK CUHKMassacre
Yesterday 1567 tear gas was fired; 1312 rubber bullet was fired; 380 bean bag round was fired. It’s not a battle, it’s hongkongpolicebrutality . HongKongProtests
Udah 6 bulan, makin hari makin berani. Upgrade persenjataan, gak kekurangan akal. Polisi vs Demonstran sama-sama gak capek.
'There was no riot, no attack, no disruption, no mass gathering in the campus.....it is an undeclared war against the entire young generation.' Wrote a Prof from CUHK. The police attacked the campus in an attempt to take over and suppress freedom of speech.
BeLightinHK 😞that parabola shots with bows..
They are a group of kind and educated students. They treat cuhk as their home. In the name of 'law enforcement', hkpolice fired 2,500+ teargas canisters and bullets into the campus continuously . They have been brutally and violently suppressed, and now they have nowhere to go.
There were 2000+ round of tear gas/rubber bullet/bean bag bullet shot at CUHK yesterday.
Last night (Nov 12) in CUHK Students are fighting for their school, for their friends who are arrested by Hong Kong Police, for Hong Kong, for freedom and democracy. Coz Police made a promise that they will move out in 3pm. Then police enter the campus and arrested students!
Wow, it is very violent, compared with all those LIVE ROUNDS, China-made on fire expired TEAR GAS, WATER CANNON and PROJECTILE, SO SCARY, help!! /s SOSHK HongKong HKPoliceTerrorism
Still Western Governments with America taking lead condemning Hong Kong police daily, with protesters using, Petrol bombs, knives, swords and burning people. Shame on the scandalous double standards. Ban the yellow vests and Occupy Wall st but back the Hong Kong anarchists
Can’t compete with water cannon tho. But protestors and students will defend the campus against those thugs with whatever they have
还是人吗
Compare with HKPF equipment Tear gas rubber bullet 2000+ have used in the past 2 days. student just gathering the resources they have to guard the university. Is anyone see police force into the university before? StandWithHongKong CUHKMassacre
If you reported fairly what has been happening to them over the last months, these updates would be in context. As for now, they are lopsided and reflect allegiance to the Chinese agenda.
Better rob some real arms :) If this is called a war
US started to create another ISIS.
In Kenya all you'd have to do to dispel such protests is tell the protesters that no matter what the cause they are not from the same tribe. That would be enough to make them turn on each other and forget what they were protesting about. 254 KOTLoyals kot

When hkpoliceterrorists keep breaking their promise, u think the hongkong protesters MUST trust them? Nbdy wanna hv such matter, all becoz ccpchina.
Keep this violent foolishness up and China will move the army in and kick ass.
RIOTERS!!
The gangsters keep shooting the students, CCP is showing Tiananmen massacre 2.0 to the world. StandWithHongKong
One thing to add, Hong Kong Police escalating their force first.
Too bad they aren’t Kurds or Afghans, the US Dept of (Deep) State and their EU counterparts would be sending them the latest in military hardware, money, and flying them into Quantico for training.
Primitive tools versus modern & biochemical weapons... It’s never a “battle” on equal footing.
En Hong Kong luchan por que el Estado no avance sobre las libertades ciudadanas. En Colombia hay un paro21denoviembre para exigir más Estado... que el estado “regale” más cosas, intervenga en más cosas. La estupidez del subdesarrollo no es gratis.

Spotted by whom? Propaganda for the Chinese?
Hong Kong is jealous of Ukraine! Chinese ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui said instructors from Ukraine are coming to Hong Kong to share their experience in organizing the riots. Hanhui noted that the goal of the protesters “to live at the level of Ukraine” is quite achievable.
Protestors and weapons in one sentence? Really? Thats how low u guys have sunk?

All are defensive weapons. They just like toys when comparing with HongKongPolice.
TeresaW17993222 As CCP mindset is 800 years behind, you gotta find and beat them with weapons of that time!
So funny you call them “protesters “ even they beat up /burn/ try to kill citizens who disagree with them and rob police weapons and throw petrol bombs everywhere. Help to spread fake news. Shame on you Reuters. FakeNews
Students are not experts in battles but they learnt and acquired the skill. They made it practical in real.
