A Hong Kong cop waved his shotgun at protesters on Tuesday with his finger appearing to be on the trigger.

Protesters gathered outside the Kwai Chung police station and chanted “free the martyrs” after authorities announced that 44 arrested protesters would appear in court, to be charged with rioting.

A clash with police ensued, with one officer pointing a Remington shotgun at protesters.

According to the The South China Morning Post, the shotgun had been loaded with less lethal bean bag rounds.
