(1) The question of whether the HK police have the strength to tackle the protest - is missing the point in HK disorder.

(2) It must be an all encompassing approach that involve political decision plus police enforcement.

(3) 1stly, Politicians must declare whether HK unrest - has reached a stage of total lost of control in social order - that warrant declaring of "State of Emergency".
This is a political decision - not a police decision.

(4) If "State of Emergency" is declared - there would be :-
- "lockdown" of people's movement
- banning all protest movement
- arrest of suspected rioters, protest organiers and protestors

(5) To enforce "State of Emergency" - only economic activities and social activities are allowed - and all political activities will be banned.

(6) Police must be able to deploy forces and assets at all MTR station, bus interchanges, main roads etc - to prevent any protest movement from forming up - and any protestors that carry placards, weapons, wearing of shirts with protest slogans, illegal assembly will be arrested.

(7) This is the only way to quell the HK unrest - and bring back law and order.

(1) The current HK situation - has reached a critical juncture - to declare "State of Emergency" and clamp down on all protests - to restore law and order.

(2) Further delay will have an irreparable economic loss, reputational loss and international intervention.

(3) There is a need to make a swift and decisive "double down" to end the unrest and 止血。

(4) The longer the HK unrest situation drag --- the greater the damage not only to HK but also to China - and collateral damages to many business partners.

(1) If HK politicians and HK police - fail to quell the unrest within its means and resources now ----- China forces may be force to come down one day ---- and these will have a far wider implication and far worse consquences that no Hongkongers will want.

(2) And it will also have negative consequences to China mainland.

(3) Thus, HK politicians and HK police - will have to make a "hard decision" now - based on the "hard truth" facing HK currently as more violent protest unveil.

(1) 非常时期,你需要非常手段。
治暴,平乱,定治安。

(2) The core motivation of "State of Emergency" order or decree - is to restore law and order, social order and economic order.

(3) All Political activities and political dissent will take a backseat - and will be banned throughout the Emergency Order - until law and order are restored, safety and security order are restored.

(4) The Security Ministry under the Emergency Order (a proxy to Martial Law) - will have sweeping power to deploy security forces at all critical infrastructure such as Legislative chambers, China Liaison Office, Airport, MTR stations, bus interchanges and main road.

(5) The Emergency Order will have the power to order Telcos to block all social media communication such as telegram, facebook, instagram, twitter etc - to remove the means of communications for protestors and rioters to orgainse protest, riots and illegal assembly.

(6) The Emergency Order will also have to power to control mainstream media to toe the official line - to promote unity and stop division or dissent.

(7) The "strongman" image with the primary goal to restore law and order, social order and economic order shall emerge throughout the Emergency Order - a "Disciplinary Master wielding a big cane" - to stop all Economic sabotage, social order vandalism and protect the safetly of citizens and public infrastructure should emerge.
