This seems very important to me. Ferguson's gone international. Click through to Vox for pictures.
Chinese democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong have taken up the Ferguson, MO approach to demonstrating with their hands up.
Hong Kong's protesters have good reason to put their hands up: police are using what many observers describe as an unprecedented level of force against the demonstrations, which are rallying against the Chinese government for reneging on its promise to grant them full democracy in 2017. While injuries in the protests have been relatively few so far, the clashes have been bad enough that Hong Kongers appear to earnestly fear the police might crack down violently, and that anxiety is showing in these photos.
Very moving, this, however they came to take it up. Here's hoping word gets passed along to Michael Brown's grieving parents. It seems like something they might like to know about.
