Police Ignores Arrestee with Heart Attack

A woman testified to reporters, claiming that the police insulted her, calling her an "attention seeker" and threatened to call an ambulance to "Send her to a place" when she called for help for an older man who was suffering from a heart attack after being arrested for violating the gathering ban despite being at the place by himself. He had shown symptoms of a heart attack initially, but they were ignored by the police.

While this was going on, several other people were also pushed into the group of detainees in an effort for the police to frame and accuse them of being a part of the gathering, and flouting the gathering ban.

Hong Kongers cannot be more frustrated by what happens every day, but we shall never give up.

Carrie Lam after Reading Police Review Report: Will Seek Ways to Monitor News

The governmet-backed Independent Police Complaints Council (IPCC) released the police review report on May 15. Chief Executive Carrie Lam claimed that she spent ten hours reading it and thought the report was "comprehensive, objective, and extremely dense", causing her sadness.

The report said that the police had "good reason" to "communicate" with the white clad gang in Nam Bin Wai during the 7.21 Yuen Long incident and instructed them to leave, indicating that there was no collusion between the two parties.

The report also agreed that the police's blockade of the Prince Edward station on August 31 was "practical and feasible". The report condemned the saying that someone was killed in the incident as "malicious speculation" and "extraordinary claims".

Soon after the relesse of the report, Lam held a press conference in the Government Headquarters. Instead of the usual picture of Victoria Harbour, the backdrop was changed to photos of the protests. The scenes selected to display include demonstrators breaking into the Legislative Council Chamber, burning debris and smearing police stations. The title of Lam's press conference is "The Truth about Hong Kong".

During her speech, Lam criticized the artworks in honor of the Movement, as well as the speculation and compilation of rumors and fake news online. She agreed with the report that on August 31, the police murdering people at the Prince Edward Station is an "unusual proposition". Lam reiterated that the authorities will seriously investigate and manage such speeches in the future.

When asked whether the report affirmed the professionalism of the Police Force and helped calm the public's indignation, Lam pointed out that the police force is undoubtedly professional and emphasized that the Force does not have a political role.

Some reporters pointed out that the police did not perform well in many instances, including talking with white-clad gang, launching tear gas inside MTR stations, and expeling reporters from Prince Edward station.

Lam stated that she could not make any comment on the law enforcement situation, and called on reporters to "honestly" discuss the situation with the police: "Isn’t having operation standards good enough?"
