The police are murdering us slowly

Teargas is the most popular choice for the police to disperse the protesters, also their preferred weapons.

Since June, there are cases where people (including protesters, journalists and passersby) were hit by the teargas can and injured.

The worst thing is, the latest batch of teargas used by the police is made in China, and journalists and experts have noticed the dioxin it releases is high, whenever the police use the teargas, they are poisoning all the people in the scene. And the chemical is also affecting the ecological environment in Hongkong.

(Trigger warning)

Dead bodies of birds, squirrels and hawks are founded in districts that were bombarded with teargas.

The use of teargas not only is damaging to people’s health (dioxin can caused cancer and miscarriages) , it is having an irreversible impact on our environment.
