Absolutely, yet the MSM wont tell you that. I mean, in the UK (and maybe US and other western countries), we have laws to safeguards this. Its called anti-radicalisation. Basicallly, teachers/lectures (I'm one) have to be vetted before they allowed to teach. We are also not allowed to radicalised young adults on religion and politics. Or teaches HATE!
So if we are not allowed to radicalised young adults, then why is it acceptable for Hong Kong teachers to teach hatred (and I mean HATRED) towards government of Hong Kong and China?
Its ironic that this same teachers are quite happy to accept monthly paycheques from their own government they despises!
Well they suck at it.Today at 5:49 PM

Peaceful march was change of strategy for Hong Kong protesters, giving government less room to act against them
In general, I believe the police estimate. The police are an official entity with social responsibility to tell the truth and far less reason to lie. There is just too much incentive for the organizers to blow up the numbers to make their event look more meaningful. Meanwhile, from the article linked above:
Approximate guide to how many people you can squeeze in a confined space.
Also, bear in mind the 80-20 rules. So in any society, there will be at least 20% of people opposed to whatever the majority proposed. So given Hong Kong population of 7 million, 1.4 million is still only 20 %. A minority in anyone's language. But of course, the MSM wont ever mention this inconvenient fact!
Well they suck at it.
"An Early Night (Saturday 8 p.m)
Protesters dispersed after some clashes with police, and the day ended without the use of tear gas for the first time in weeks.
Eggs and laser beams (Saturday 7 p.m.)
Hong Kong police said a “large group of protesters” who surrounded its station in Mong Kok posed a threat to its officers at the scene. Some demonstrators were seen aiming laser beams at the police officers, and pelting eggs at the station.
Police in riot gear cleared the area around the station of protesters."

"Pro-China rally (Saturday 5 p.m.)
Tens of thousands joined a pro-government rally in Tamar Park, Admiralty, filling the space adjacent to the central government offices. “Support the motherland, support one country two systems; anti-violence, save Hong Kong,” they chanted. Organizers estimated the crowd size at 476,000, while the police said it was around 108,000, broadcasters reported."
I believe the police estimate on that as well.
