This man is the hero protestor of the day in Hong Kong. Check out his remarkable catch that saved him a lot of pain. 

In Hong Kong for the past week, pro-democracy demonstrations have taken over the city protesting China's refusal to allow open selection of candidates for Hong Kong's leader. This is their first democratic election, that will take place in 2017. The protestors have been  protecting themselves and fighting the police, who are firing pepper spray and tear gas at them. One of the best moments from the "Umbrella Revolution," is when protestors is is walking throughout the streets of Hong Kong and the riot police shoot a tear gas grenade at the student. He catches the canister swiftly, then throws it back into the crowd of policemen. Kudos to the student with a great arm!
