Totally normal to go out shopping in Hong Kong and feel like you& #39;re stepping into the occupied territories
Seditious yellow balloon spotted amongst riot police
Moments after chants of & #39;liberate hong kong, revolution of our times& #39; ring out, police raise the blue flag. It& #39;s starting. Be careful everyone
Police keep unfurling their blue flags every time the crowd gets loud - which is every couple of minutes. People move on, regroup, and chant again - like water. Police can& #39;t keep up. There& #39;s currently three blue flags up at the same time.
They& #39;re gonna need a bigger flag.

Looks like the one smart guy in the force has devised a clever tiangulated kettling system.
Watching from inside Pricerite with a few others. Can& #39;t see who they& #39;ve caught in their net.

Brave auntie walking with a sign and a bubble tea is harassed - again - by riot police.
One lot told her to cross the cordon line, and the other side told her to go back. All we& #39;re missing is clown cars here

Seems Hong Kong Police have a particular distaste for bubble tea. Now they& #39;re harassing an uncle inside Mr Tea.

If you& #39;re planning on visiting Causeway Bay on Hong Kong island - a common destination on a public holiday for a meal or shopping - this is what you can expect.
Calls of & #39;Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times& #39; ring out once again, even as police are amongst the crowd.
The beating heart of a people can& #39;t be supressed, not matter how hard a corrupt government tries.

Again, a totally normal day in Hong Kong where on every corner citizens are being harassed by police.
This is what& #39;s happening every few minutes. Crowd arks up, police rush in and try to catch someone.
Immediately, chants start up behind them. Rinse and repeat. Police are literally chasing their tails.

I& #39;m sure police are itching to remove this 12 year old boy playing Hong Kong& #39;s unofficial anthem, & #39;Glory to Hong Kong& #39;, on the recorder. He& #39;s drawing a crowd who provide a beautiful chorus.
We can only hope they understand how bad the optics would be, and that keeps him safe.
