[THREAD] Nov11: TAI ON MURDER - Behind HK's Raging Fire: Time is running out for an institutional resolution

Following a mournful weekend, we woke up to find #HKPolice shot another unarmed protester in Taion Street on Mon, whose heart once stopped beating during urgent surgery.

2/ Make no mistakes #CarrieLam - it's not a tragedy, but attempted homicide. More atrocities committed by Police: In KwaiFong, traffic cop went berserk on a motorcycle is running protesters over, injuries reported. In TKO, police arrested a granny who merely criticized them.

3/ In this perilous political crisis, mayhem in Central as Police fired teargas during lunch hours. Many are unarmed, unprotected, professionals white-collar working class, expat workers.

4/ Students are targeted again. Police fired rubber bullets/ tear gas in 2 universities, entering campus to arrest 4 students, one severely beaten. It's a de facto police state. Repeat: de facto #HKPoliceState now. Arbitrary arrests went up to 3500 since June, from aged 11-74.

5/ Heartbreaking to witness these not just because we mourn the loss of our brother Chow last Fri, but the govt clearly didn't learn from mistakes, and start the week with another day of horror. The authority didn't seek to deal with it using a political solution

6/ I call on citizens and politicians all over the world to condemn the brutal state violence with concrete actions. What happened this morning is attempted murder, clearly the gov't is going after youngsters no matter you are dressed in black or not and put up mask or not.

7/ Act now, instead of wait and see until the slow-motion massacre is done. Time is running out in HK, we are close to death of One Country Two System with intensified use of state violence. @senatemajldr, we need the US Senate to pass the #HKHRDA.
