Rioters vandalised and destroyed police’s quarters. These are people’s homes. Police have families too, in case you don’t know. Wicked. Evil.

59 petrol bombs and 2 bottles of chemical were found near Wong Tai Sin police quarters just yesterday.

About time. Should really have done this yesterday. This is what the rioters did to police quarters. In there are babies, children, elderlies, pets. Imagine yourself living there? Would you feel safe? These people are zombies. Criminals.
