Police Commissioner: Saying "Police Beating People to Death" is an Attempt to Violate National Security
Hong Kong police commissioner Chris Tang spoke on TV on the eve of the year-mark of 8.31 Prince Edward Station Attack. Tang tied Hongkongers' concern over the police use of excessive force to a national security issue. Concerning the circulation of the saying of "police beating people to death", Tang described it as a "violation of national security".
According to a survey conducted by Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI) last year, nearly half (47.5%) of the respondents agree with the statement that "police have committed murder at the Prince Edward station on 31 August 2019".

Police Raise Blue Warning Flag Accusing Citizens of "Destroying Stability"
22:02 | Prince Edward, Hong Kong
Like any last day of the month, Hongkongers mourned victims of police brutality outside Prince Edward Station.
On Aug 31, 2019, Hong Kong police notoriously attacked train passengers with pepper spray and baton. After 14 months, many Hongkongers refused to forget the trauma.
On Oct 31, 2020, citizens brought flowers to the station as usual but were faced with tremendous police opposition.
In the video, the police hoisted a blue warning flag and warned civilians on the spot of participating in an "illegal assembly". Meanwhile, an eye catching yellow banner that read "I want genuine universal suffrage" went past.

On Nov 28, 2020, it was reported that Hong Kong police will arrest any civilians paying tribute outside the Prince Edward Station starting from Nov 30, 2020.
District Councilor Lam Siu-ben told reporters that since beginning of 2020, police officers often sweep away white flowers as soon as civilians put them down. Other police officers were seen closely monitoring onlookers from nearby Mong Kok Police Station. When a civilian put down a flower, they would immediately be threatened for committing littering.
Lam quoted a source saying the police will tighten enforcement from this month to disperse citizens gathering nearby Prince Edward Station and arrest those refuse to leave.
Lam said that from his observation, “police do not want to see white flowers being placed at Prince Edward station and around the area of Mong Kok Police Station".
