Riot police without warrant cards turned emotionally unstable. They irrationally scolded the passengers at the bus stop. A middle-aged woman was grappled and dragged around her neck while some citizens raised their hands to show their innocence.
The scene reminds to older generation of the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong in the 1940s.
