Hong Kong police deployed water cannons for the first time after protests over surveillance turn violent
Hong Kong police used water cannons for the first time on Sunday to disperse protesters in Tsuen Wan. Pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong escalated into violence over the weekend, as police and protestors broke a nearly two-week peaceful streak by deploying teargas and makeshift weaponry. A peaceful march was originally planned to protest against the government installation of"smart lampposts" that fueled state surveillance concerns.
