I guess you missed all the news about excessive use of force by the French police during the riots, and the insane show of force by the French police on the volunteers (many of whom are French nationals btw) helping immigrants? French police are not exactly a beacon of friendship. You can twist this however you want - you still can't take away the fact that HK protesters seem much nicer, better organized and well behaved. And no, I have nothing to do with China/HK, never been there etc. I am just an impartial observer impressed with the HK protesters, thats all.
