Citizens Protest Against Police-Triad Collusion in the Yuen Long Attacks on July 21
20:03 | Causeway Bay
Someone played a video record of an interview of a police inspector defending their late arrival on 21 July.
In the video, Chief Inspector LI Hon-man defended without shame for their late arrival by replying that police arrived only after received calls. He had not noticed the time because he did not read the watch. He questioned whether the reporters had noticed the chaos. The reporters continued to ask several questions until LI suddenly said “Your actions are not threatening me.”
20:08
A citizen held a cardboard writing “police-triad colluding, never ever obliterating“, and chanted loudly “if you are a true yellow ribbon, do not use MTR services again!”
20:16
Some held their phones with display of the words “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our times”.
20:18
Citizens started writing memos on a Lennon wall.
