Police might shoot live round at campus in the future: “Every weapon deployed was to protect the citizens”

Over 3000 rounds of tear gas canisters, beanbag rounds and rubber bullets were fired during police operation in the city yesterday (Nov 12).

Today, police Senior Superintendent of Operations Wai-sun Wong said, “Every weapon deployed was to protect the citizens”. He also felt sorry that the police were attacked by arrows at the Chinese University. “We have still only been using gas (during the clashes)”. He indicated that police might shoot live round at the campus in the future.

Wong denied the suggestion that protestors and police are equal and emphasised the fact that the police had been attacked continuously and they had already given out warnings to protestors and tear gas was the minimum level of force. “The reason we deployed so many rounds”, he added, “was that we needed them to listen to us and disperse”.
