Feb 26, 2019: Do Hong Kong police really need water cannons?

Hong Kong police will soon be able to use their three water cannons, which cost $27 million.

But if you Google "water cannons" you'll see that only a small number of countries in the world use water cannons, and the use of water cannons has caused many serious injuries ... with resulting drawn-out law suits.

Hong Kong police have a well-deserved excellent reputation for their responsible use of firearms ... compared say with the US   where the police are so "gun-happy". Do Hong Kong police really need water cannons?

May I suggest the Hong Kong police offer their water cannons to the fire brigade!
