Australian Police deny ever teaching Hong Kong Police the "Soaring Bird" motorcycling technique, as the HK Force have claimed


The Hong Kong Police Force often claims to be the victim of fake news campaigns, yet many of their own statements have been revealed to be flat out lies.

The police earlier argued that there were "intranational examples" supporting the traffic police officer's practice of leaving both hands away from the motorcycle handlebars. When prompted, they failed to give any particular examples. They then claimed to have learned this technique of riding the motorcycle from an exchange with the police department of Victoria, Australia in 2013.

Pro-democracy Hong Kong lawmaker Chu Hoi-Dick inquired the Australian police, who responded that they did not practice this riding technique, nor do they have any records of interactions with the Hong Kong Police.

"This is Hong Kong’s District Council": Governmemt Representatives Leave Midway During District Council Meeting

While district councilors were discussing and passing the motion to censure the Home Affairs Department for refusing to serve the District Council and the public, the assistant district officer suddenly said, “I disagree with the contents of the motion”, and abruptly led his team out, including all the Secretariat staff, whose job is to handle the documents and operated the live camera.

Jordan Pang, a pro-democracy district councilor in Central and Western District, lamented on facebook, "Hongkongers, this is Hong Kong’s District Council."

Man Accused of Possessing Poison Has Prosecution Withdrawn, Jeremy Tam Censures Police Arbitrary Arrests

After protestors occupied the Legislative Council building on July 1 last year, police officers intercepted multiple vans near Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park, and arrested a van driver for "Possession of Part I Poison" and "Possession of Instrument Fit for Unlawful Purpose".

Legislative Councillor Jeremy Tam Man-ho, who assisted the arrested driver, said that the driver was only found with asthma medication, stating that he "would have believed that this was some Golden Triangle drug smuggling case if one was not informed about it".

After he was notified that the driver had his prosecution withdrawn due to lack of evidence, Tam censured the police for conducting indiscriminate and arbitrary arrests, stating that the police "often frame Hongkongers", and noted the irony of the officers from the Regional Anti-Triad Unit, whose possession of methamphetamine made headlines in early May. He remarked, "The true drug smugglers may be the Regional Anti-Triad Unit who claims to be 'Serving Hong Kong with Honour, Duty and Loyalty'".

Government Reprsentative Refuses to Provide Secretary Support in District Council, Due to Difference of Terms

The Kowloon City District Council had a meeting on May 7. Pro-democracy councillors were dissatisfied with the Home Affairs Department's refusal to support the election of the chairman of the "Police Monitor Committee" with secretary service.

The government representative to the Kowloon City District Franco Wai-fan Kwok insisted that the district-based police monitoring council is not within the scope of the District Council's functions. He said that District Office could not include the discussion in the meeting records, even with objection.

When the pro-democracy and the pro-establishment factions debated, some government officials including Lam Ming-wai, the director of environment and hygiene in the Kowloon City District, snickered.
