    Hong Kong police said Saturday they have arrested three pro-democracy lawmakers over a brawl in parliament,
    ---
    (1) Parliament is for constructive debate in formulating policies.

    (2) But I don't think law will allow brawl and fighting to take place in Parliament - as no policy outcome will emerge from a fight in the Parliament - but are just demonstrating to the citizen that violent can occur in the highest office - the Parliament.

    (3) So making arrest and prosecuting lawmakers that fight in Parliament instead of debate - is the right move.

      It’s true parliament is a place for debate. But when it comes to pro Beijing policies, these are passed and bulldoze through. Meaning due process is not exercised resulting in these protest. China starred all these by trying to tweak a system they agreed to observe till 2047.

      Should have been arrested on the spot at that moment and hand cuffed them and parade them on Nathan Road.

      Wow....ever watch those brawls in Taiwan parliament? HK legislative council is tame by comparison. Now, let's see how many hundeds they will arrest for breaking into that buidling and trashing it.

      These are gangsters and not lawmakers! Their proper habitats should be prisons and not Parliament! They're tainting the good image of HK as a global Financial hub!
