‘Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times’ – a legacy from the intellectual history of Republican China

Someone mentioned that the main grievances for the protestor is about affordable housing, healthcare and baby formula. But looking through the various video clips, the protestors are mostly from comfortable middle-class to well-to-do families and the victims of the violence are mostly struggling and less fortunate people.
There is no excuse for this sort of senseless and random criminal acts in a modern develop and affluent society like HK. The only equivalent for this type of behavior was during the Nazi regime in Germany. The common characteristic then and now is the hatred implanted on them as protector of a superior being. Hate is so obvious from the facial expression and the language from these protestors. We are in deep deep trouble if these people are allowed to gain any position of power.
Here is an idea, why couldn’t the police use tranque guns and darts, en mass?
Rather than wasted their time with their teargas and water cannon, while the rioters are well equipped to resist thanks to foreign forces, shoot them all with tranque darts to make it easy to arrest them en mass.
@Brumby again didn't independently verify even the most basic facts before reposting gross ignorance and/or blatant lies. Dr. Sun Yatsen himself, his writings, and the 1911 revolution are widely and regularly credited with the founding of modern China by the CCP, PRC, Chinese of all political stripes all over the world.
All sorts of complications with that, the most obvious is someone can easily die from it due to allergies, dosage, being hit in sensitive parts of the anatomy, etc, and such an occurrence can also easily be faked by the rioters and their co-conspirators.
Here's a classic MSM manipulation of the news. Two local newspaper in HK, side by side, one reported what happened (as per my posts here), the other....... well, you can see for yourself, no guesses to see which one is propaganda and which one reported the truth!

Eastern paper headline: battlefield, rioters try to snatch gun.
Apple daily: police cleared area, strongly (chinese can mean forceful or brutal) arrested volunteers!
