INTIMIDATION: China’s military warns protesters they may be arrested for targeting Hong Kong barracks with laser light.

In the first direct interaction between the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and protesters, the PLA raised a yellow flag with the arrest warning written in large letters, said a Reuters witness.

As a few hundred protesters shone laser lights on the barrack walls, troops in fatigues on the roof of the building shone spotlights at protesters and used binoculars and cameras to monitor protesters.

This is the PLA, not the local Hong Kong police.
