My boss is in Beijing, actually,

You keep claiming you're not a big honcho, yet you're the top guy in the office. Harumph.  :P

It's not a proper riot until molotov cocktails fly and water cannons are used. :P

Goggles. The word is goggles.

This being China, I bet the government will take away their googles too.

I can't help but feel the police tactics are probably going to make this escalate.
Let's bomb Russia!

The whole thing is pointless.  Unhappy with Beijing's decision?  Take it to Beijing then, if they have the guts.  Let's see what'll happen if they do these things in Tian An Men.

Tear gas used.  Police have put up warning signs that they need to leave the highway immediately, or they may use live rounds.

Do they want to face HK riot police?  Or do they prefer PLA tanks?  That is the question.

Monoriu

4 rounds of tear gas fired.  Police numbers are increasing.

Mono's joke would work better if it were the protesters with the guns.  :P
