August 4 Sunday
“Demonstrators dodged police tear gas and occupied a major shopping district and other central areas, in the second of three straight days of large-scale civil disobedience. The flash mob-style maneuvers came a day after violent street clashes [on August 3], resulting in more than 20 arrests, and a day before a planned citywide strike.”

“Earlier, protesters blocked roads, first in Kennedy Town and then in Causeway Bay. This followed from stand-offs in Sheung Wan as police also used tear gas on a crowd advancing towards Beijing’s liaison office. In the afternoon, tens of thousands took to the streets of Tseung Kwan
O in an approved march. Hundreds then gathered outside the police station, throwing bricks and pelting the building with eggs, prompting
a police warning before they dispersed themselves. The chaos comes a day after clashes in the shopping hubs of Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, as well as in the working-class residential district of Wong Tai Sin, where tear gas was used by police.”
