Thousands of black-clad protesters from all walks of life thronged the streets of Hong Kong on Sunday in a sign of broad support for anti-government demonstrations that have roiled the Chinese-ruled city for six months, reported Reuters. The former British colony is governed under a “One Country, Two Systems” formula that guarantees freedoms not allowed in mainland China, but many fear Beijing is tightening the screws on the city and increasingly meddling in its affairs. Beijing denies meddling, has condemned the unrest and blamed foreign governments, including the United States and former colonial power Britain, of interfering in the country’s internal affairs. Police said earlier on Sunday they had arrested 11 people, aged 20 to 63 and seized weapons including army knives, firecrackers, 105 bullets and a semi-automatic pistol, the first seizure of a handgun in six months of protests. #HK

Police Target Young People to Conduct Search

1921 Pedder Street, Central
Riot police targeted a young man and intimated him, "You asked us to come? Don’t you move!” A while later, when the young man thought he was let go, a group of riot police suddenly ran towards him and surrounded him.

Police kept shining strong light at onlookers to prevent them from seeing and filming while other police treated the young person rudely and searched his bag. Passersby kept shouting at the police, ”Let him go!” The boy was at last released.

A police officer in Arkansas was shot and killed behind a police department late Saturday night before the suspected shooter was gunned down by responding officers in a nearby alley, FOX News reports. The Fayetteville Police Department said in a news release the incident happened around 9:41 p.m. when officers inside the station heard gunshots, went outside and discovered an officer down in a back parking lot and a suspect fleeing the area. “It appears the suspect came into the back parking lot and just executed my officer,” Fayetteville Police Chief Mike Reynolds said at a brief news conference. Reynolds told reporters that the suspect was chased into an alley between the police department and the city prosecutor's office. Officers then "engaged the suspect," and shots were fired, injuring the suspect.

A Houston police officer was killed in the line of duty Saturday night, shot multiple times while responding to a domestic violence call, authorities confirmed.
