Thousands back on streets of Hong Kong as protests escalate on 22nd anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China from the British. ABC News' JamesAALongman has the latest.
A demonstration in Hong Kong turned combative on Monday when a group of pro-autonomy protesters, surrounded by thousands of others, began ramming and bashing the Legislative Council building, marring an otherwise peaceful pro-democracy march.
Police also posted a sign that warned protesters to stop charging or they would use force, according to the AP. The protesters who attacked the building and the remaining thousands who kept marching both oppose an attempt to change a law that would allow for extraditions to nations including China. In her first public appearance since her apology to Hong Kong's people, Lam shared an ill-timed split-screen moment with the gathered protesters as she tried to plead for a reset with the angry city she governs.
