[The Protestors I saw kill an elderly Chinese man the other night were rabid, and violent.]

In a tactic copied from (or perhaps simply implemented from mandatory training stints in China) Hong Kong cops have been dressing up as civilians and beating up protestors. This escalation led to protestors fighting with cops, South Korean-style. No deaths to date. This might be the incident you referred to:

[Video uploaded to social media shows one of Hong Kong’s red taxi cabs, driving slowly in a sea of black-clad protesters, turning left and accelerating into the crowd.

Several other images and video in local media show what appeared to be the aftermath: A man, bloodied and battered, being hit and kicked while on the ground next to the taxi. In one of the videos, a few people could be seen attempting to intervene to help him and stop the mob from further harming him. A police source told CNN the driver was unconscious when he was rescued.

CNN could not immediately confirm the circumstances that led to this incident.

The Hong Kong Hospital Authority said four people were sent to the hospital in the aftermath. One has left and three are in serious condition, including the taxi driver, the hospital authority said.]
