tvbramas:tvbramas:人民帶傘，不是為了攻擊警察。People are not bringing umbrellas to attack the police.攝／楊柏賢 — 蘋果日報 Apple DailyHong Kong 加油.It’s difficult on both ends—the protesters and police force. I have friends/family out there protesting; I have friends/family in the police force trying to enforce order. There are plenty people who wants democracy and universal suffrage in Hong Kong that opposes Occupy Central. This doesn’t make them bad people, people that don’t love Hong Kong enough. I came across this video, and the guy mentioned how he “experienced June 4th (Tienanmen Square protest of 1989)… regrets donating money… pushing the students to die… I’ve been regretting for 25 years. Today, you want Hong Kong students to become your shields? Do you really want to push it til the PLO (People’s Liberation Army) comes down?“ People have their valid reasons for opposing the Occupying Central protests, so we should learn to understand and respect those who choose not to protest in the crowd. I acknowledge and do agree with his point of view, but I still support Occupy Central and protests in other various regions of Hong Kong, now also known as Occupy Mongkok, Occupy Causeway Bay, etc. I wish I was physically there to participate, but I’m there by heart. It’s October 1st in Hong Kong. I hope everyone out there stays safe and please do not do anything rash. Let’s not agitate each other, police or civilians. Keep everything peaceful. You’re both people of Hong Kong no matter which “side” you’re on. I hope protesters really do use their umbrellas for purposes like the picture above—not to attack the police. And I hope the police won’t exert any unnecessary (brutal) force on peaceful protesters who are actually behaving.香港加油. -- source link
