Today is the one year anniversary of #831PrinceEdwardAttack, where riot officers charged into the MTR station, pepper sprayed and clobbered passengers on the train whom they accused of being protesters. #HongKong graphic artist Hksymbolendar recounts the incident with this video.

Another sign of how #HongKong police are on alert today. No sign of protesters gathering in Lo Tak Ct of Tsuen Wan yet, where people have called for a demonstration online, but riot police officers are out in force, patrolling the area and searching anyone that looks suspicious.

This was taken on Oct 1, 2019. Only found this when going through my photos later on. It was Chinese National Day but #HongKong protesters called it a National Day of Tragedy, determined that there was nothing worth celebrating. It's been a year, but we are in for a long fight.
