During the press conference on December 2, the Hong Kong Police Force defended their actions, stating that both the elderly woman and the policemen “ had hand movements” and claimed that “no matter for what reason, do not stand in front of the police and obstruct our work. If anyone is dissatisfied with the law enforcement process, they have the right to make complaints and we welcome such feedback.”

Regarding the complaint that the police deployed tear gas, despite the legality of the protest in Tsim Sha Tsui on December 1, which has obtained a Letter of No Objection, the police explained that the protesters went out of the intended route of the protest and attacked officers on duty, forcing them to deploy such means.

Hong Kong Police: Citizens Should Be More Polite, And Less Provocative

During the Police's operations on Friday, an officer repeatedly hit a reporter from Stand News's hand and camera. In today's police press conference, spokeperson Kong Wing Cheung of the police public relation branch claimed that officers were trying to extend their cordon, and criticised the reporters on scene for not being cooperating enough and not moving as back as they were told to. He further claimed that officers were only using their batons on reporter’s camera to tell them to leave.

Hong Kong police also called for "Citizens [to] be more polite, and less provocative [towards the Police]".

Said reporter however stated that the Police had never ordered reporters to move back to the Police cordon.

Police: “Protesters Were Led to Yuen Long Station by Malevolent Ringleaders During 7.21 Attacks”; Pro-Democracy Legislator Refutes Such Claims

PPRB Senior Superintendent, Kwong Wing Cheung had been interviewed by Cable TV. When asked about the 7.21 Indiscrimate Attacks in Yuen Long Station, he criticised those whom he claimed had "organised the entire ordeal" and "lead protesters to Yuen Long Station".

Legislative Councillor and victim of the 7.21 Indiscriminate Attacks, Lam Cheuk-ting refuted these claims. He reiterated that civilians had been attacked long before he arrived at the scene. He deplored the police force for spreading rumours and lies fabricated by Junius Ho Kwan-yiu, which only served to deepen the existing social divide and intensify phobias within society.

Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF) responded to the fake poster online and 1 Jan March: If there are any conflict, the police must be fully responsible.

According to CHRF's vice- convener Figo Chan during a press conference on Dec 30, the Police Public Relations Branch just contacted him regarding a photoshopped version of CHRF march poster which stated “do not forget about revenge, renovate the city”. They said that if the CHRF does not issue any clarification statement, the representative of the march would face legal consequences. Chan pointed out that the CHRF only formally issues its information on its social media. The police can review the CHRF’s statement themselves and they do not understand what kind of legal consequences the Front would need to worry about. If the police have legal issues with the photoshopped poster, they should conduct their own investigation as opposed to intimidating the organiser.

The CHRF stated that before the police reposted the poster in question, the CHRF did not discover this photoshopped poster on Telegram or any online forum. According to media report, the poster in question was first circulated among the social media group of pro-Beijing supporters. The CHRF questioned the source of the fake poster reposted (by the police).

The message of the photoshopped poster is contrary to the intention of the march organised by the CHRF. It is outrageous to see that the CHRF, as a “victim”, is being threatened by the police. The police should investigate the source of the fake poster, such as looking into pro-Beijing supporters who uploaded this poster, instead of asking CHRF to clarify.

Apart from intimidating the organiser, the police deliberately provoked the citizens at the march on December 8. Their behaviour was extremely unreasonable. At an earlier police press conference, the police admitted (their behaviour) to be “imperfect and there are room for improvement”. Figo Chan hopes the police would exercise restraint on New Year’s Day. If there are any conflict, the police must be fully responsible.

Who is the lawbreaker?

Young protestors stormed into the Legislative Council last July to show their disappointment towards the deteriorating rule of law in Hong Kong. They insisted leaving money in a small collection basket for drinks taken from the cooler even in an extreme state of fury and fear. They also left behind a hand-written note reinstating that they would not steal like a thief.

However, a riot police who is well trained to enforce the law in Hong Kong, snatched a bottled water from a convenient stall during an operation in public and walked away without paying. Did he not just deliberately break the law?

If the incident was not caught on video and later gone rival on internet, would this police officer take the trouble to go back to the shop and pay?

"It's not stealing if I pay ... after I get caught"

Gun Versus Camera; Persistence Equals Hope

In response to China's National People's Congress ramming a National Securtiy Law towards Hong Kong, the local population cannot stand just sitting around doing nothing and letting their rights freedom be taken away.

The protest on May 24, 2020 is Hongkongers' reminder for one another: "Only when there is persistence can there be hope; if you give up, who will fight for you?"
