I find it deeply troubling that someone just tried to murder a police officer in Hong Kong and hardly anyone seems to be bothered much, as we all move on to the next cycle of news about mass protests and anti-government campaigns.

Three masked men ambushed the 45-year-old officer at Kwai Fong MTR station late on Friday night while he was heading home after work. They knifed him repeatedly in a vicious, cowardly attack, inflicting bone-deep wounds, and fled the scene.
