==Protest to riot==
On May 1, 2007, about 2,400 demonstrators turned out to decry official corruption and rail against illegal immigrants working in Macau's construction industry.〔Asia Times. "(Asia Times )." ''The casino that ate Macau.'' Retrieved on 2009-11-05.〕 Though some sources point to the event as having 5,000 participants and eventually grew to 10,000.〔RTHK.org. "(RTHK.org )."

Local television stations showed police beating back protesters with batons and dragging away a number of them.〔Reuters.com. (Reuters.com ). "Macau launches probe after man shot at protest".

The protest then turned into a riot. Public Security Police Force of Macau fired warning shots into the air to disperse the crowd. A passing motorcyclist was struck in the neck by one of the bullets. The 50-year-old man Leung Ngai-keong (梁毅強) survived, but this affected the reputation of the police.〔〔Sina.com. "(Sina.com )." ''天降流彈插胸腔險傷頸椎.''

The police chief said 10 people were arrested and 21 police officers were injured.〔 Protesters carried banners calling for better labour protection. Some demanded the resignation of Edmund Ho, the Chief Executive of Macau, who was appointed by Beijing.〔 The protest lasted about six hours.〔
