we need to blow up something to get their attention and then we need to take fire because this government is just corrupt and we need to save this country from fall
If your attacking a Police officer with a wrench and a claw hammer Id say that could be construed as a life threatening attack. Lethal Force was justified in my eyes.
Next time, take your own gun and not a fkn plastic bat…You want to make change? Then change it, otherwise, suffer the consequences.
Wow, I didnt watch until the end. I actually thought this was a fair account for a few minutes…*Sigh* Hitting someone with a pipe definitely can cause death or serious injury. Let me smack you with one and you can stand back up (assuming your conscience at all) and say "Dats no hurted me fined!!". And YOU dont know whether he gave a warning because the audio isnt that great and he has a mask on. But one would think holding your revolver out in front of yourself is a pretty darn big warning, ya dimwits.
Sad thing is that some people in Hong Kong still think that police is wrong in this situation, ridiculous
Ha ha die.
The dude had a pipe in his hand. He got what he deserved!
Typical western media propaganda…..u can fool public once, twice, third n so on but not forever
wtf!!! wrong with media I think police should stop working for one day let the media persons handle the police work…..
Should have shot him right between the eyes
Protest is a Right of Any Citizen But beating Police with a melee weapon is not a good way He shoot to save himself from Mob
The cop was totally spot on..
Lol you Americans and your police logic If you think this is right, when the protesters start using guns too, you call it even?
Hey you guys I'm going to shoot you… Okay I warned you
The Times is very concerned about the shooting of a man who is beating an officer with a hammer, and first aid not being immediately administered. I'm all for activism, but as soon as violence is involved, it becomes part of the problem, not the solution. Real activism is in the tradition of MLK, Howard Zinn, and Noam Chomsky; -it's peaceful. These protesters were throwing Molotov cocktails at the police. So it's okay to set a person on fire if he's perceived as the enemy? These cops were in more danger than the protesters, as, until the moment shown, they were using non-lethal weapons. They showed remarkable restraint, and this would not happen in America. The cops are doing their jobs and kids with hammers are attacking them. As soon as a car or store window is broken, a car tipped over or set on fire, or a weapon deployed, it's not activism anymore, it's criminal behavior.
Thank you HKPD for making HK safer.
Support Hong Kong Police!
If in American, police will shoot all protestor
So glad the police officer was there to save his colleague. These terrorists must be stopped.
Dumm protestors
???????????????????????
Dude the protesters came swinging at the officer of course he’s going to shoot and especially after seeing what a mob of protesters did to another officer I would be more then willing to save my own or a the life of another.
one day un will attack china and hong kong police
Shooting justified. Cant till you get hit with a hammer before shooting the rioters
The violent protestors are extremely well organized and sophisticated in their attacks. They use an app and first to scatter the police out by setting places in fire, then when the police are stretched thin, they come in herds, and chase one or two separately so they are out numbered. This is not what a common grassroots protestors can do, they are well trained. I wouldn’t doubt that there is an organization behind them and support them financially, and with clear directions.
In the US, if someone shows aggression to a police, the police will not just shoot once. He will shoot at least twice to make sure the aggressor has been completely neutralized. They are trained to do so to protect themselves.
Funny that us police shoot innocent unarmed people in the back and you critisize a shooting of an armed man
Protesters carry signs, not metal poles and shields.
Drawing and pointing is a good indicator that he is going to use the thing he is holding and pointing especially while being attacked. I’m all about the protests but this is to be expected . Can’t make an omelet without breaking a couple eggs
I mean he kinda had it coming
FREEDOM FOR HONG KONG

Did the narrator watch the same video?
The New York Times – Hong Kong police should learn from US police. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-QcI4BmQ0s&list=WL&index=169&t=0s
I'm so happy he got shot 😀
