Hong Kong: clashes between police and students
According to reports from SkyTg24, the situation is very difficult. In fact, clashes between police and protesters continue. The agents seem to have occupied the polytechnic and currently activist dispersal operations are underway. Apparently they used water cannons and tear gas, but the situation now seems on the verge of collapse.
According to the correspondent Sky, many students have already been arrested and some have been confiscated by cell phones.
SThis fate has been left to several journalists who apparently did not have the press accreditations with them.
Police do not exclude the use of force
Through a statement released last night, the police let it be known that the use of force and the use of firearms is not excluded and lethal. "If the protesters continue with dangerous actions, not we may have no choice than resorting to the minimum use of force, including firearms", This is what was declared by police spokesman Louis Lau at a press conference.

The dramatic images on social media
If the information is discouraging through official and information channels, images circulating on social networks show a much worse picture.
Some users have shared images depicting agents throwing tear gas at the crowd; in a video you see the Polytechnic students use their bodies to resist the police.
The most terrible thing in this video is, the students of #PolyU throwing the canisters in the tear gas rain.

In another photo you see doctors and volunteers sitting with their hands tied behind their backs, they are in a state of arrest. Hong Kong now seems to be a powder keg ready to explode.
#BREAKING Medical volunteers arrested, their hands tied and locked like fugitives. This is outrageous. The HK govt has lost control over police force. A violent bloodshed is under way. pic.twitter.com/xlV6NFgNBi
