police: Hong Kong police had objected to the opposition's application for permission for the planned August 31 rally and march to the Liaison Office of Central People's Government in Hong Kong, but unauthorized rallies were still held in several places starting at noon on Saturday, and violent protesters attacked places including the regional government complex and Hong Kong police headquarters, according to Global Times China. Hong Kong police alerted residents to mind their safety and reportedly deployed more than 5,000 officers, and water cannons and armored vehicles in advance. The beautiful city boasting modern facilities and famed for its order was left with smoke, garbage and chaos after each violent demonstration. Around 5 pm, radical protesters gathered at the Hong Kong regional government compound and Legislative Council complex, throwing Molotov cocktails and bricks into the security cordons. They also hurled Molotov cocktails at the police headquarters. Demonstrators attempted to pry open an iron fence outside the government complex with iron rods.
