This is like Mayo/Dublin all over again. The plucky protesters gave it everything there in the 1st half but you get the feeling the evil Dubs will be a different animal when they come back having had their go go juice
A bit of a let down I wanted to see this kick off. il be disgusted if they donāt go in hard.
Protesters have detained and cable tied an undercover cop.
This is going to get very saucy.
Live rounds?
The protesters have one of the guards 
If a colleague life is in dangerā¦
gonna send in the crazy 88 now

Those trolley barricades donāt look up to much
Theyāve a fella tied up on a chair who they have reason to believe is an undercover cop who was masquerading amongst them as a member of the press. Someone was hammering the fella in the chair over the head according to Kay Burley. Huge mob of people around him. There will be hundreds killed when the police raid the airport.
āAn incredibly tense, live and fluid situation, with tensions running highā. Sheās going to have an orgasm Kay Burley describing this.

He might not be a cop. If he is all hell will break loose but theres talk heās a rival protester, a red shirt so that might mean they donāt came back all guns blazing. He has a Chinese passport but that nothing unusual in Hong Kong. He could be some regular Joe for all we know, all reason has gone out the window at this point
Scratch that heās a cop alright. This will get fucked up, they are stamping on him now too
The Chinese army will be in shortly and weāll have another Tienanmen square.
They are moving him somewhere
Iām watching this with no sound. How could they tell that he is a cop?
Confirmed from the police in Hong Kong. There was 2 of their men undercover. They managed to free one but not this guy. The paramedics seem to have him now, would be the best thing for the protesters to give him back

And the ambulance whisks him away. That should at least defuse things for a while. Smart from the protestors to let him go but the visuals of him being kicked and smacked about will do them no favours
People stranded waiting for flights watching on while all this was happening. Surreal. As an aside, why does everyone in Hong Kong wear glasses?
