The Dragon Slaying Brigade (Chinese: 屠龍小隊) was a group of anti-government protesters formed amid the 2019–2020 protests in Hong Kong.[1][2] It was described[by whom?] as the most violent group among the "valiant" protesters, those who advocated direct confrontation with the police in contrast to "peaceful, rational, nonviolent" protesters.[3][failed verification] The group's name was derived from its target, the Special Tactical Contingent of the Hong Kong Police Force, nicknamed the "Velociraptor Contingent" (速龍小隊).[2] The Chinese characters for Velociraptor, 速龍, literally mean "swift dragon".
