Just looked it up, that's apparently how it is in the USA, but rest of the word doesn't use the word cilantro at all, we just call it coriander (for stem and leaves) and coriander seeds.

Original protests were only due to extradition bill, there was however at one point an extremely disproportionate response from the cops, shooting tear gas willy nilly into peaceful crowds, shooting rubber bullets at protesters 50 feet away that weren't threatening in the least etc, leading to a lot of the other demands.

Personally i think things have evolved into a way too harsh "fuck the police, they're all dogs" kind of attitude, it's a tiny minority but some people are literally throwing molotov cocktails at police stations and even attacking police service quarters etc. China is not wrong in saying that this kind of behaviour would not be tolerated anywhere in the western world, can you imagine if that happend in the US? They would be using more than tear gas and batons to catch those guys.

That being said, the police here seems incredibly amateur'ish, they don't use force in instances where i think most people would deem it fairly appropriate (when they were literally using a battering ram to break into Legco), but then they will go wildly inappropriate with their force against a random crowd in a subway station, using expired teargas in closed spaces, shooting a crowd that's trying to get away with rubber bullets point blank etc. It's like they hold it in for a long time and then it just spills over in a dramatically disproportionate way all of a sudden.

I'm so proud of reddit, a non-supportive comment about marijuana and only one downvote

You might also want to look into insurance, at least where i'm at they're used extensively in the product department, writing the terms and conditions, figuring out new products to sell etc, especially in liability insurance which can get very legal heavy.

I also think lawyers tend to do a lot of claims handling in (commercial) liability, since it can get very tricky legally.
