That’s what the Hongkong police do now, they are on the same side with the thugs, turn a blind eye when people are being attacked.
Then they attack and arrest ordinary people who participate in legal gathering. The police issued letter of no objection to the march on 1 January 2020, over a million people were in it, yet they were told to stop the march and leave in a very short period of time.
Over 400 people were arrested on 1 January, some of the arrestees were just passerby who happened to be in the area.
Teargas is the most popular choice for the police to disperse the protesters, also their preferred weapons.
Since June, there are cases where people (including protesters, journalists and passersby) were hit by the teargas can and injured.
The worst thing is, the latest batch of teargas used by the police is made in China, and journalists and experts have noticed the dioxin it releases is high, whenever the police use the teargas, they are poisoning all the people in the scene. And the chemical is also affecting the ecological environment in Hongkong.
(Trigger warning)
Dead bodies of birds, squirrels and hawks are founded in districts that were bombarded with teargas.
The use of teargas not only is damaging to people’s health (dioxin can caused cancer and miscarriages) , it is having an irreversible impact on our environment.
After the demonstration on 21st July, there were a bunch of men in white, believe to be gangsters, walking around in Yuen Long and beating up everyone whom they believe to had joined the rally earlier today. They had weapons and even enter the platform of the railway to attack people.
People called emergency hotline, the response is ‘Don’t go out if you’re scared.’ Then they were hanged up. Yuen Long Police Station was shut down, clips showing that patrolling police ignored the gangsters’ attacking citizens.
The police had been complained before for use of excessive force, many believe they are ignoring the gangsters on purpose.
Words can no longer express how sad and disappointed I am
This has nothing to do with your political views or taking sides, this is plain simple black and white.
Police is here to serve and protect
Not vengeance through others hands
Spreading this to me is hoping to gain awareness to the rest of the world, freedom is what we should all be born with.
Why? Why do we fight so hard just to be heard? Yet, they are not only getting ignored now getting beaten up too
