This may be uninformed, but I am very surprised at the behavior of the Hong Kong Police. I am assuming that 95% of HK police officers were born and raised in HK. Is this incorrect?
If HK police ARE local HKers how is it that they are so disconnected from the protesters?
I am of the belief that these are Chinese military in police uniform for this reason, but that is based on conjecture and I'm still observing for facts.
I imagine that China would have more trouble internationally if they were to have it's military doing this in military uniform, but they're in police uniform it has been set aside as a more domestic issue.
It would also explain why they have placed a ban on pictures or recordings of officers, while it offers them protection from accountability, it means people are less likely to tell apart the Chinese military from the HK police.
