Police, firefighters, negotiators and bomb-disposal experts entered the campus of Hong Kong Polytechnic University on the morning of November 27, 2019, to search for any remaining protesters inside and clear away hazardous items. The operation followed a siege that started a week and a half earlier as radical protesters went on a violent rampage and occupied the university. This is how the dramatic events unfolded.

Imagine having an expiration date on ur freedom
I would be mad too
well said
NFL Insider imagine being burned and killed by “prodemocratic” rioters.
Imagine fighting for a so called 'freedom' is not really what u think it is years down the road when the dust is settled!?
Imagine trashing and setting the city that you live in and love on fire
Battlefield soon will have Poly University as a playable map
Nah, The NEXT Battlefield series is BATTLEFIELD: HONGKONG.... Starting map is Airport and Legislation council building, Then Expand to MTR, then they will SELL DLC of POLYU, with bow and arrow, a catapult for rioters, Paintball gun for police...
There should be dungens or levels like: Liaison Bureau, Legislative Council, and PLA HQ, players can fight for department store and campus as their base. MTR stations are both save point and special event location lol

@@oscarcyber3308That's a bunch of baloney. An old man died after he was hit by a brick thrown by a Hong Kong protester. A man who was set on fire, one journalist was attacked, Hong Kong ranked world's most expensive cities in cost of living survey....
@@samchen18p Just because you see what happens in news doesn't mean it happens all the time, It's clear you haven't/never been to Hong Kong. I tell you I've been to HK during October/November 2019 which was said to be one of the peak protest months and I haven't seen any riots(although at tsim sha tsui and and tsuen wan had alot of road vandalism) and Mongkok station was closed due to protest so we didn't have a chance to visit, overall HK is extremely safe I'd rather be in HK than in USA
Also the airport was relatively peaceful, It was just like any typical day no riots or what
I can't really assume you're truly safe though, I went there at weekdays so assuming that peak protest is at weekends
@@oscarcyber3308 I tell you that I visited HK and China from September to November 2019. I got the picture from my personal experiencen as well as media. And my family told me what happened in HK until present day.
For all our protests and strategising, we forgot about attrition. It wasn't armoured cars or police storming into PolyU that brought down the protest, it was a long siege that reduced the morale of the protesters.
Admittedly true, and it's also the more peaceful option.
I support Hong Kong democracy from the start as a Hong Konger, but violence is just a bit too radical for me
@@SanderDoesThings I agree, but the amount of protesters arrested in PolyU was a huge blow to the morale.

That’s 800 people you’ll never see again

Some actually escaped so
But they’re probably also on house arrest and won’t come back out for a little while :/
They just get records and go home. That's why they can keep doing this no goes to prison based on these issues. Many of them have like 5-10 occurrence already it's been over a year.

Correction.
If you get detained for 48 hours, then it’s a 90% chance that you will get beaten up tbh. And I can guarantee you, the police will come back and search for the protestors and take revenge later onwards.
@@hihi-ch5ib Neh, have ever be in a fight before. If they got beaten up every time they are arrested how can they keep rioting everyday and every night It's always the same group. Don't be a silly tuna fish.
Not going to lie getting lots of “the purge” vibes with some of the defenses and how the environment changed

Same here
Lol "Radical protestors" more like authoritarian government
Do not get me wrong, I hate both the Chinese and Hong Kong Government. However. This protesters are legit burning things. Definitely radical.
@@hkm239 they are aiming their hatred at the wrong people
Yup, The Chinese Government might be oppressive
But this used to be a school
And the protesters produced massive amounts of weapons to use against police
They burned things
They tore up everything
Both are in the wrong
@@aerohydreigon1101 this is what I'm saying the western media tends to make the Chinese government look bad and the protestors like angels when in actuality the protestors are even worse.
"Others attempt to leave through the sewer system"
Imagine opening a a manhole infront of the police force when they are headng to the campus
the city will look like Detroit soon
I live right next to Detroit and believe me this looks a lot worse
That is exactly the plan to bring down the economy of HK so that china wouldnt have any use of it.

Imagin in middle of a war where the only squad that both side respected and not getting attacked is the camera crew it self!
no reporters are also being shot by B L U E W A T E R by u-know-who
I am pretty sure the reporters are also heavily targeted by police.
The medical team are well respected, they are not involved, but supporting both sides.
Camera crew sometimes get hurt by crossfire or being too close to a group
When your freedom is at stake you do everything you can to preserve it, that's the most basic ideal.
Lol people in the west keep saying their freedom is lost. Do you even know what got this protest started? Everyone say China has no freedom but they dont know how they have no freedom, seems like everyone thinks China is like north korea where you cant do anything without a yes from the government when in reality you are probably more free than those in the U.S. if not speaking of politics.
johnnyboi943 yeah i do, the introduction of the offshore extradition bill, which was bs to begin with. plus, how can you say a country where winnie the pooh is banned is more free than america?
im not saying their freedom is lost, im saying its on the line
@@fymfgc How's it BS? There was a specific caveat that says the offender must break the laws of HK and China in order to be extradited, which prevents China from arbitrarily arresting people who criticise it.
@@MagDrag123 It's not necessarily the fact that people would be extradited, it's the fact that most arrests made under that pretense would either be falsely accused and tried, and then the fact that it allows a vulnerability in the legal system that China would be able to exploit. Stuff like that really isn't anything new.

they will suffer either way honestly....
@@keysislandhopper4768 Well china also claims taiwan as their territory, but in reality its a seperate country.
@@GalaxyerLP Well Chinese authorities are in close co-operation with local government in HK. not claim
only 49 out of 1000 of those who surrendered were PolyU students. So it's not much of a "siege" rather than an occupation of PolyU campus by two outsider groups.
I know I'm late but I don't understand, they need to be PolyU students to consider it a siege? Do you know what a siege is?
English might not be your native language. Go look up the definition of SIEGE, and tell me if the police is an "enemy force" attacking the building.
@@MrSpiritmonger Well, I think we can consider it a siege still, despite the police not attacking, they still have surrounded the students and likely isolated them to weaken and win over them. Sieges usually have *that* objective.
@@heiwiik8744 The definition of siege says it's "enemy" attacking the building. Police is a public taxpayer funded institution recovering PolyU (a public university) from illegal occupiers. You can't siege your own property.
@@MrSpiritmonger I don't' know who's sponsoring your comments dude, but the protesters were fighting for the freedom of the people, not the oppression of people. The police were doing the opposite, trying to crush resistance and dominate Hong Kong. Neither were perfect, but the protesters were morally better. Also, the police serve the people. They cannot try to evict moral protesters and then say the land is their property. The people funded the university, so by your logic, I would say the protesters are defenders. Police are not gods, they must be regulated.
The pain will never be gone.
America really be comparing themselves to this lol, Both's 'fighting for freedom', but one is not looting and attacks on targeted property whilst the other one mindless and random opportunistic property destruction and looting.
And our people asking for help from the US
The US can’t even deal with a bunch of drug addicts holding six blocks of street as their “capital hill autonomous zone” in Seattle Washington. Bash China as much as you want, but at least they can maintain law and order.
@@gamer7916 lol China has no law. You know what is law right? Communist illegal party talking about law?
MY Nam “lol China has no law” that’s what those rioters in Hong Kong thought as well before they got arrested and were taught Chinese law the hard way.
“You know what is law right” laws are rules imposed and enforced by the state. In case you anarchists don’t know, rioting is against the law in China, US, UK, France, and most of the world. The only difference is China has the guts to stamp out rioting, while the US can only appease them, which is why you have Antifa and BLM thugs running everywhere, destroying and looting properties, and holding entire streets hostage for weeks.
There’s so such thing as “illegal party”. They have the most control, and thus they’re the legitimate government. If you don’t like that, go start a revolution and dethrone them, but until you succeed, they’re the legitimate government.
@@gamer7916 "CHINA" only rule by only one party man...CHINA is a place own by a party called CCP. They can make whatever "law" they want to catch whoever they want.
IF YOU LIKE THAT I SUGGEST YOU TO MOVE TO CHINA YOU CANNOT EVEN COMMENT ON TH-cam.
They need help; no weapons, training, or experience. Their kids, with nothing but their beliefs to give them hope. They deserve every ounce of support and respect.
Which country do you come from?

Amazing work SCMP. It's exactly how i imagine modern siege would look like
