Hong Kong Police Draw Guns, Arrest 36 in Latest Protest

Associated Press

   HONG KONG - Hong Kong police drew their guns and fired a warning shot
   Sunday night after protesters attacked officers with sticks and rods,
   and brought out water cannon trucks for the first time, an escalation
   in the summerlong protests that have shaken the city's government and
   residents.

   The day's main showdown took place on a major drag in the outlying
   Tsuen Wan district following a protest march that ended in a nearby
   park. While a large crowd rallied in the park, a group of hard-line
   protesters took over a main street, strewing bamboo poles on the
   pavement and lining up orange and white traffic barriers and cones to
   obstruct police.
