Those out on the streets have been angered by the Chinese government's ruling limiting who could stand as a candidate in elections for Hong Kong's leader, due in 2017. During the protest, the first few tear gas canisters were fired by armed riot police "anti-surrounded" at around 6pm on 28 September 2014, by the end of the day, the police force said they had fired 87 cans of tear gas. The tear gas triggered even more anger and more citizens joining. At the heart of this is a civil disobedience movement launched by democracy activists Occupy Central. When China made its ruling, Occupy Central promised demonstrations. Then students in Hong Kong began a separate class boycott in late September and when they broke into the main government compound on Friday, Occupy kicked off its campaign early.
