Don’t think France “mostly waited it out” when there has been more injured yellow vests than HKers so far: 2 more or less connected deaths, 1 person lost lower arm, and at least 24 lost an eye, including one of the most pacific yellow vest leader Jerome Rodrigues https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/14/europe/france-bastille-day-injured-yellow-vests-intl/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/14/europe/france-bastille-day-in... In many ways, french police did repress protesters in a much more brutal way than HK police has done so far. Of course having PLA in the city would be a different story however...

That's a very biased take on what happened in France. The protesters were burning cars and destroying public and private property to vast extents, besides throwing Molotov cocktails at the police. The yellow vests went way, way beyond their right to protest. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/-yellow-vest-protests-grow-violent-in-france/1327559 https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/-yellow-vest-protests-grow-v... https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanhatesthis/yellow-vests-facebook-live https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanhatesthis/yellow-ve... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-47666245 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-47666245

  I live in France, and I must say I am offended by your comment! People burning cars and destroying property are not yellow vests, they are antifa groups and their job is to bring chaos to discredit the yellow vests movement. http://lemurjaune.fr/ http://lemurjaune.fr/

  Isn't this happening in Hong Kong as well? Destroying properties, and especially Molotov cocktails.

        Dimsum Daily is not exactly a good source for reliable news... There is indeed quite a lot of violence from both sides, but no, no police officer has been set on fire.

        The only way to claim "no police officer has been set on fire" is providing evidences that those pictures and videos are fake. Btw, there's no such thing as "source of reliable news", unbiased media is a impossibility theory.
