HK police are spraying protesters with blue-dye water to mark them for arrest

• cwmma 7y ago
  it seems like the protesters should make some home made blue water dye and spray random people with it to create plausible deniability

    I don't think the presumption of innocence applies like you think it would in this case.

      I was thinking if you were getting a lot of false positives, especially with loyalists that could make it a problem

        that's providing your expectation of "Justice" being fair...

    I was thinking more you could blue up to provide insta-protest-cool. No I'm the <strike>messiah</strike> protester

    it would be better if everyone including the cops were all sprayed so the use of blue dye to highlight individuals would be impossible
