The riots in America are NOTHING like Hong Kong, and comparing the two is bloody disgraceful.
Hong Kongers have been protesting for a year now, fighting for their freedom from Communist China under the constant and real threat of STATE SANCTIONED police brutality.
What's happening in America is nothing alike.
What happened to George Floyd is horrible and inexcusable –– but it's no justification for Antifa extremists to tear down everything that is American. Everything Hongkongers are fighting to obtain.
When activists like Drew Pavlou draw any comparison between the two, he undermines the legitimate cause Hongkongers are fighting, bleeding and dying for.
This comparison is disgraceful.

ONE bad cop in the US does NOT represent their entire police force. Hong Kong police are evil from top to bottom.
Also, I’ve been to Hong Kong and have NEVER seen protesters looting.

You cannot compare US police to the Hong Kong police.
How have many Police in Hong Kong been punished for their brutality? None.
Meanwhile, in the US, George Floyd's killer is already facing murder charges.
There are some corrupt cops in the US, just as there are some here in Australia. The vast majority are good, just doing their job. Many of which STAND WITH HONG KONG against the police brutality there.
Cops in the West are accountable.
Take, for example, in Minnesota, the same police force at the centre of this crisis. A couple of years ago a BLACK cop shot and killed an unarmed WHITE Australian woman. He's now in jail.
No one came out and rioted.
People understood he was a rotten egg. But in Hong Kong, the police force is spoiled from top to bottom. They work at the behest of the Chinese Communist Party.
The kind of brutality George Floyd suffered is a daily occurrence in Hong Kong; the difference is, none of the perpetrators stands trial.
Funny thing is Drew is not the only person supporting these riots; he's in great company; The CCP is also celebrating these protests via Chinese state media.
If you're protesting for freedom and the Communist Party of China starts supporting you... you're doing it wrong.

In case anyone is still not convinced of the vast differences between America and Hong Kong, take a look at how the supposed 'protesters' are behaving in the US.
In all my time spent at protests in Hong Kong, I've never, even once, witnessed protesters looting.

I would support exile of all the terrorist Antifa to mainland China, and see how they like having their freedoms stripped away. All they seem to do is shout demands for Chinese Communism style law and justice. Think they deserve a taste of traditional Chinese medicine.
If you ever want to be regarded as a real journalist, you might want to do reach before comparing apples to oranges. 6 INNOCENT black men and women have died at the hands of police in the past 4 weeks. One bad cop is not the issue. Do you live in Hong Kong? Your article is trash.

Hey, I don't think what your saying is true, Nobody denies the police brutality in HK, but HK rioters are the most extremeist in the world, They beat people on streets who speak mandarins, derail running train and set it on fire, pour gasoline on other people and burn them to death. beat people to coma who trying to remove the blockage they put on streets. At least in your country, people on both side are condemning violence, But here in HK, "pro-democracy" rioters are willing to burn the city to ash as long as their demands are not satisfied, they speak this loudly and clearly on TV (watch this full interview by yourself:
). Do not forget, even at life-threatening by "pro-democracy" rioters, still 2.9 million people in HK signed their petition to support new security law, and plea the Government to restore law and order, some of them know as long as they speak out to support Government, their shop will get smashed, their kid will get beaten, you have no idea what's going on here.- 黄翔
Lol @ that 2.9 million people signed their petition. That petition is just like any online petition that you can keep signing over and over without identity verification. If the government has any guts, they can hold a referendum and see if the majority of the people agree to that security law. If as you said 2.9 million people support the security law, the pro-democracy camp won't be achieved its biggest landslide victory in the history of Hong Kong in 2019 Local Council election. The vote speaks for themselves.

The litte pink cannot understand and never try to understand. they like to stay safe by accepting the propagenda and distorting the truth.

and you think the shops didn't get smashed once they speak out for the democracy camp? They either get smashed occasionally by the pro-government camp and also getting reported to police saying they violated the "gathering rules" so their business are heavily affected. What you said applies to the pro-democracy camp as well. They are getting suppressed, arrested, threatened by the pro-government camp and guess what? The police won't do anything because they are pro-democracy.

A good piece. Cannot agree more.

I strongly agree with this article.
By the way, I want to downvote one of the comments here coming from another user but is posted through @steempress-io. I don't know if downvoting a comment "made by a guest account using @steempress" would affect the user who posted "once they have a Steem account".
