JUST IN: The president of a Hong Kong university says that police have agreed to suspend their use of force after they tried to flush out protesters occupying the campus.
Traffic disruptions and class suspensions have become routine as protesters try to paralyze the city.
"It's not about the campus. It's about what's next to it," said a 23-year-old masked protester who gave only his last name, Chow. "The weapons and equipment used by the police simply cannot be comparable to ours," Chow said."They have real guns. They fire tear gas. They shoot rubber bullets at us."
