SCMP, it’s a pro-PRC publication but the footage seems to check out. The store pictured is in Mong Kok, this area has seen major unrest today. https://twitter.com/SCMPHongKong/status/1185930191039655938

I wouldn’t jump to a conclusion as to who was behind this—seems about the type of thing one would do to provoke military intervention.

Protesters do half-heartedly distance themselves from this sort of behaviour, but this instance might warrant a louder gesture from their side. Sadly, they’re way too disorganised to bother (or even to be capable of) issuing such a statement over a mainstream channel.

Lack of organisation makes the whole movement accountable for actions of anyone wearing a black shirt, and thus is very easy to undermine, purposefully or accidentally.
