he has to come from soup. to. come. on facebook. this is the. violence. of dog. order top. to democracy activist. and then look at the other side.

show it's good to have you with us. on the violence that many had said would eventually come to pass in a span of just one student protester has died supporter has been set on fire and another pro-democracy protests has been shot but here's the moments after the shooting a lot of warning some of these scenes could be distressing for some viewers. among. the long time. imo.

i. was little. i do think you'll enjoy it if you think of. that protest of being the 1st person shot by police since protests began 24 weeks ago the shooting occurred even as police battled protesters in the chinese city fighting rubber bullets and tear gas the territories chief executive kerry lamb addressed the media on monday here's what you have to say. if there are still any. wishful thinking that by escalating violence to hong kong as a government will you do to pressure. to satisfy the so-called political demands. i'm making this statement clear and loud here that will not happen. violence is not going to give us any solution to the problems that hong kong is

facing. our joint priority now as a city is to end the violence. and so return hong kong. so normal as soon as possible let's get the reaction from the pro-democracy camp in hong kong i'm joined now by pro-democracy activist george wang joshua welcome candy land there saying quite clearly that violence will not get protesters anything how do you react to that. remarks weak and off topic from carrie lamb she has proved her south incapable to concho the police force at all creating the chaos to date with the brutal foulness of riot police she has done nothing to i shared the markets and is a sack her as today police turn sensual pieces district of hong kong into a war so but the government would respond of that it is the police force responding

to what they have called extensive illegal acts committed on the part of the protesters are you saying protesters are not at all at fault protest her have to plan to organize a general strike but how the hong kong got and then what the riot police crackdown on protests is what we experience like wrong what it was should to a young university student also we have surf of how those riot police stormed into the campus with rubber bullets and event in the c.b.d. of hong kong those poor fashion this white colors all being guested by the police and i think that china's rian federalism in the past 22 years is what we experience and now is that high for the world to realize hong kong is a police state just for you calling it all targeted to have

a vendor lism but then that have been incidents of vandalism on the part of protesters as well at hong kong's university of science and technology for example . a coffee shop was vandalized a bank of china branch was on the was approved to mock of probe aging lawmaker was stabbed last week a protest olds have died last week today a protester has been shot clearly that is also something that the government is responding to do protest does have nothing to account for the toll. hong kong government and beijing should be a constable and responsible fund alyssum from the poster is their way and the effort to show that is called hand to direct capital but have we ever for a long into his truck show them age being incited and motivated by china's federalism in a pos 22 years before blaming the powerless people and i think that's the root cause and a fundamental political demand of protester is asking for an institution no matter

what to set up that independent inquiry by the committee to investigate police file is and best political team on getting supporting rate more than 80 per cent off hong kong was but what we observed during a possible road base there and 11 yes so primary and 74 yes so elderly both arrested joshua briefly what will it take to end this spiral of violence stop police brutality we're setting up the investigation committee and give us back to vote to elect a chip executive of hong kong the government of hong kong should not be beijing it should be elected by hong kong people relieve it there for the time being democracy or the reversal won't speaking to us from hong kong thank you very much.
