Shortly before 6pm on the 28 September 2014, and without warning the Hong Kong Police attacked the people they are sworn to serve with tear gas… there was no reason for such an aggressive escalation of force during a peaceful protest.

After several volleys of tear gas, the police called in the shotgun wielding Police Tactical Unit, garbed in military green fatigues it was tragic for Hong Kong to see the PTU point guns at un-armed civilians with their hands in the air as their colleagues appeared to fire tear gas rounds directly at protestors.

Earlier in day the police had been using batons and pepper spray against groups of protestors close to the police barrier cordoning off the government offices
