UPDATE 5-Hong Kong police stage show of force on streets, jeered by residents

Hong Kong police staged a show of force on Monday night in a district hit by some of the most violent clashes with protesters in recent months, but instead of being confronted by demonstrators were jeered by onlookers. Many Hong Kongers say police have used excessive force against protesters - some of them school students and young adults - and want an independent inquiry into police action. "The police are ridiculous, they are out of control," said a 22-year-old man watching the police who gave his name only as James.
