Police may have laced tear gas canisters with insecticide
There have been suspicions that the police may have laced their tear gas deployed today (Nov 2) with insecticide. The police are infamously known for openly calling protesters "cockroaches" in a deragatory manner for months.
Apple Daily interviewed a protester who claimed that he saw a crowd gathering to get a closer look at some expanded tear gas rounds on Queen's Road in Central. Apparently, burnt wrapping paper for cockroach poison with made-in-China markings were found alongside the tear gas canister shells.
According to the person who gathered the shells, the police might have packed the cockroach poison into their tear gas dispensers, so that it would be fired along with their tear gas rounds.
Upon questioning, police denied such accusations as false rumors. They emphasize that all ammunition in their operations are used according to the manufacturer's instructions, and are used in a normal and recommended manner.

Police Disperse Election Candidates Gathering at Victoria Park
Citizens originally call for a rally for the 'peaceful and rational' ones in Victoria Park on November 2. The police, however, refused to grant permission. Therefore, at least 128 pro-democracy district council election candidates from different parties decided to campaign in the park at said time.
According to the Elections Ordinance, candidates can hold gatherings without the need to seek for the approval of the police. Yet, even before the gathering, police hoisted blue flag to prevent the crowd from forming.
At 16:15 after the gathering has run for an hour, the police fired tear gas into the park to disperse the crowd. The police called it an 'unlawful assembly' and arrested at least 3 candidates.

Police detained nearly 60* people at Southorn Playground for more than 2 hours
[*Note: Apple Daily: 70]
Legislator Ted Hui questioned the officers as to why they detained nearly 60* people over 2 hours inside the sports ground. According to Hui, police replied that they were "waiting for the vehicles to come". He saw some people had their hands tied at their back. Another witness added that the police would not allow the detainees to communicate with others. She almost got arrested herself simply for asking for their names.
The female officer at the beginning of the video said to Hui: "You've mentioned many times your six demands. Please use your honorable status as legislative councillor to explain to the people here, that we're not inhumane, that we don't look after their wellbeing, or that they're suffering badly."

Dear Hong Kong gov’t: please stop telling us the same old story and change your press release
I don’t know if there is any truth in the entertaining rumour that the Hong Kong SAR government tried to recruit a PR agency to rescue it from public scorn and contempt, only to meet with flat refusals from plausible image-polishers. The story is not unlikely.…
