Steps that can be taken:
1. refuse bail for these twits arrested;
2. public canning for those convicted of vandalism;
3. declare martial law plus impose curfew;
4. extension of punitive measures even for minors.
bro zhihau too mild liao. should impose the following too.
5. only issue accredited pass to real reporters. anyone without the pass will be arrested.
6. coordinate with teleco and power company to turn off power and telco coverage in area of police operation.
7. coordinate proper police strength to overcome small scale rioters. ignore other part of the city first, just concentrate in one or two area only, make sure can box in rioters, one time remove 20-50 of them better than go in piecemeal against rioters who number more than police.
8. make an effort to spot females among the rioters and rough them up. easier to catch plus since mask up, can use dont know rioters is female as excuse.
9. can turn up the pressure of the water cannon or not, saw on footage rioters remain standing despite kenna spray. mata too mild already.
10. mata too rigid, since rioters equip with gas mask and safety spec, then dont waste money shoot tear gas. Instead shoot normal smoke grenades, smoke out the area and send in the riot police and whallop everybody in sight. the smoke also help to prevent tv crew from getting footage.
point 6,7 and 10 must work together.
endgame wont be pretty, but can use 以爆治爆 and also divide and conquer. fight violence with violence, there no way commoners can win against government forces especially commoners have no access to firearms, period. divide and conquer need to use hongkong commoners to go against the rioters. human normally dont care when their interests is not affected, but because rioters are mostly kids and cannot accept others need to make a living so hk government should keep reporting rioters causing harm to road users especially those logistical companies drivers. keep showing footages of truck or taxi drivers being attack as they clear the roads, the uncle who set on fire by the rioters. the hk govt must turn the average joes on the street against the rioters.
