From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dragon Slaying Brigade (Chinese: 屠龍小隊) was a group of valiant protesters formed amid the 2019–2020 protests in Hong Kong.[1][2] The group's name was derived from its target, the Special Tactical Contingent of the Hong Kong Police Force, nicknamed the "Velociraptor Contingent" or “Raptors” (速龍小隊).[2] The Chinese characters for Velociraptor, 速龍, literally mean "swift dragon".
