Western journalists loved to criticize HK police over its crackdown on HK protestors. Let's look at the US police then.

The US police crackdown on the protestors is in no way more gentle than the HK police.  They also use tear gas and pepper bombs without fear and indiscriminately against anyone standing in front of them.

Since the HK protestors like to carry the US flags during their protests, then HK police must do exactly what the US police is doing since the HK protestors connive the US police crackdown.
