South China Morning Post reported that Police took the banner down within an hour.The protestors armed with stacks of posters, stickers, fliers and cans of glue and spray paint rebuilt the "Lennon Walls" of anti-government graffiti which was assembled from Victoria Park to Tamar Park.Police used water cannons to blast a blue-tinted dye to quickly clear the protestors.When the 2014 movement came to an end, protestors then had put up banners which read "We will be Back."
