Another weekend of protests is underway in Hong Kong, with teachers rallying to support students and other protesters.

Pro-democracy protesters walk during a march organized by teachers in Hong Kong Saturday, Aug. 17, 2019. Members of China's paramilitary People's Armed Police marched and practiced crowd control tactics at a sports complex in Shenzhen across from Hong Kong in what some interpreted as a threat against pro-democracy protesters in the semi-autonomous territory.

An overflow crowd rallied at a public square in the financial district before setting off for Government House, carrying signs that read “Protect the next generation” and umbrellas to ward off intermittent downpours. “We are here due to continuous violence by the government and police,” said a secondary school teacher, who gave only his last name, Ko. “We feel we have the right to protect our students.”

香港有中國大陸這古井可淘,本來可衣食無憂。但港人貪多無厭,「臨井越餓」。「林鄭月娥」,通敵賣國, 政策出爾反爾。包庇叛逆亂民、示威者。中秋剛過,林鄭活期已逝。從明年起,月缺且無嫦娥! 文化革命使香港回歸,本先知號令,數百萬文革亡魂,去襲擊示威者。此後,每示威者有五鬼纏身。不死幾難!

howdidwegether8 Lots of courage here. I wish them a positive outcome.

3L3V3NTH Can you imagine the corporate news coverage this would be getting internationally if the protesters sided WITH the what the international oligarchs wanted?

They send Hong Kong’s youngsters to jail. So shameless!

Professionals who misled generations of Hong Kong people.

Protect hong kong.. Anyone who breaking the law should be punished no matter who he or she is a student or teacher.

I hope these protesters realize how China deals with people who rock the boat too much.

Hong Kong’s at the end of the day is lucky we are not in the Stoned Ages. It’s not Tibet, & you have social media. Again China is in for a wake up call. This is a test of the old regime mentality, it won’t work today, it’s 2019 not 1950’s

With teachers like these, no wonder the youths hate authorities

Hong kong junta naive, immature, they've had no exposute to political systems, just inherited good economic surpluses from British rule, DEMONcracy is bad, it may not make HK another India or push it into gutter like other developing countries , china shld send military
