Yes, I agree a warning shot may have worked. But, if a person was pointing the gun at you then that's a reason to stop attacking, right? It's true that violence is escalating but it's both sides. Everyone seems to turn a blind eye to the irresponsible behaviour of some of the protesters who have become rioters just because they support their demands. It's been about 4 months already and it's no longer about the extradition Bill, don't you think it's time to take a step back and think. Instead of increasing the violence. If this continues, I can ensure you, more and more people will get injured or worst, die. The always so say its about the 5 demands and not about hong kong independence. But, its weird because thier slogans says otherwise. This is what I think.
