- Riots: Hong Kong lives the most violent day of its crisis
Chaos has settled in Hong Kong early this Monday. A police officer, in the course of some altercations with the protesters, has shot a protester in the chest and has made at least two other shots. The policeman's performance has been videotaped and broadcast, and you can see how he shoots a hooded protester at close range and hits his chest while struggling with another.
Agents threw tear gas while protesters barricaded and cut traffic. According to Cable TV, the fired protester is seriously injured, but has not transcended in what state he is.
The activists, in their sixth month of protests, have cut streets and thrown garbage to businesses throughout the financial district, reports Reuters. That has caused traffic jams in the metropolitan area, in addition to problems in service cuts in other infrastructure such as the train or the subway.
Last week a Protestant died after suffering a fall during police charges, which has generated more anger among the protesters, who believe that "police brutality" is taking place.
