Where Did the Masks Go? Gov't Report: Police Received 7.08 Million Masks over 7 months
Hong Kong experienced a shortage of masks during the first wave of Wuhan Pneumonia early this year. With citizens scrambling for masks across the city, many questioned the whereabouts of the government's stockpile of CSi masks, produced locally by inmates under Correctional Services.
According to a report to the Legislature on August 21, 2020, the government released its records on personal protective equipment from the first 7 months of the year, including the number of masks distributed to its various departments.
The Hong Kong Police Force is shown to have received over 3.47 million masks made by CSi. This exceeds even the number received by the Department of Health, which ranked second, by over 300,000. Nearly 50 million masks were also procured from sources other than CSi for various government departments. Of these, the Police Force received 3.61 million masks, ranking fourth behind Social Welfare Department (13 million), Housing Authority (8.27 million), and Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (7.6 million).
With the 7.08 million masks received, the Police Force had enough to supply its 31,190 members with 226 masks each, averaging more than one per day during the 7-month period.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam was widely noted for demanding her officials to "take off your mask even if you're wearing one" during the most severe period of shortage. However, the report noted that the Chief Executive's Office had received over 13,000 masks over the course of the 7 months, of which over 11,000 were made by CSi.
The offices of the Chief Secretary and Financial Secretary have similarly received some 13,000 masks, more than Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau, Development Bureau, and a number of other departments.

Police Reportedly Commit Dangerous Driving, Almost Colliding with a Private Car Carrying a Pregnant Woman
On the evening of September 1, 2020, a police vehicle suddenly cut across the double white lines and almost collided with a private car.
Apple Daily contacted the civilian on the private car, Mr. Kwok who was driving at that time and had his pregnant wife as a passenger. Mr. Kwok recounted the incident at 11:55pm on September 1.
When approaching the toll booth, a police car on the manual toll booth driving lane, suddenly cut across the double white lines, jamming into the driving lane right in front of Mr. Kwok's car. It was lucky that he managed to react quickly to avoid a collision, but his pregnant wife was already screaming in shock.
Mr. Kwok accused the police officer in the vehicle of having no sense of safety. He hopes that the Police Force will look into the incident and penalize the officer concerned.
However, the dash camera on Mr. Kwok's car was unable to capture a clear view of the police vehicle’s license plate. This makes it hard to lodge a formal complaint. Nevertheless, Mr. Kwok said, even if he could find out the license number, the Department of Justice might withdraw the charge against the police.

HK police continue arbitrary arrests, insulting and picking on harmless elderly
On the evening of September 10, a group of citizens peacefully voiced support for the detained protesters and activists outside Lai Chi Kok reception center
They carried heart-shaped cardboard cutouts and signs that read "Freedom Will Triumph Over Fear", "Hong Kong Solidarity" and "Support Tam Tak-chi".
Although the rally went on orderly, HK police started to stop and intercept passing-by citizens on nearby streets as early as 7pm, and issued fine tickets to reporters and onlookers, a “scare-tactic” the officers have been maliciously practicing ever since the gathering ban was imposed.
At around 7:30pm, two elderly ladies were caught in a police cordon on Castle Peak Road opposite to W688 mall with a big group of onlookers. They were ticketed for violating the gathering ban, citing they all share “the same purpose as others" as the reason.
In their old age, they were utterly stunned. In frustration, they made every attempt possible to explain to police officers and onlooking plain-clothed officers that there were just two of them walking together. They further explained that they are faithful Buddhists practicing austerities and chanting sutras. It would be going against their religious belief to accept the fine tickets, as by doing so, they would be discrediting their practices. They sought officers’ understanding for their decision to reject the fine tickets.
After a long and tiring 2-hour negotiation, police officers were not moved by these two harmless elderlies and even told them to "take your (their) questions to the judge". The police arrested the two senior citizens at around 10pm and took them to the police station.
With much assistance provided by residents in the neighborhood and district councilors, the two ladies were released after midnight. They were disappointed and exhausted when walking out of the police station, holding fine tickets for breaching the gathering ban.
Another defiant elderly, Grandpa Chan of the group Protect the Children, was also sighted on the scene. While being intercepted, he challenged police officers for arbitrary enforcement, quoting the police’s recent attack on a pregnant woman and a 12-year girl as examples.
In response, some officers hurled back insults at Chan, calling him “a dead old man.”

11.11: One year after Police Shooting Pro-democracy Students in Sai Wan Ho
On Nov 11, 2019, Hong Kong citizens launched "three strikes" during the Anti-ELAB Protests. Road blockage occurred in many districts.
At 7am that day, a traffic police officer fired live rounds at two unarmed youths, who were wearing black, at close range, causing critical injuries. The incident brought to a citywide discontent toward the police brutality.
Moving on to the one-year mark of the police shooting, citizens sprayed graffiti at the scene of incident.
Phrases like "ideas are bulletproof" could be seen at the neighbouring footbridge.
The 21-year-old wounded student has been charged for obstructing or resisting a police officer, attempted robbery and escaping from legal custody.
Former legislator Ted Hui Chi-fung tried conducting private prosecution against the police officer who shot the student with live round. However, the Department of Justice intervened and ordered to withdraw the prosecution.

Hong Kong Police Force Allegedly Plagiarizes Popular Japanese Anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba"
Katsunobu Kato, the Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan met the press on Nov 17, 2020 and was asked to comment on a Facebook post by the Hong Kong Police Force which was accused of plagiarising the Japanese anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba".
Kato stated that he wouldn't comment on the particular case but emphasised that Japan values the copyrights of animated works and will investigate any suspected plagiarism.
Earlier this month, the Hong Kong Police Force created an animated character to promote "fraud prevention". The character was named "Grape-jiro" and had similar appearance to the main character "Tanjiro" from the anime.
The Hong Kong police named their post as "13th form of Antifraud Breathing - Don't be greedy for cheap things", which was clearly plagiarising the expression used in the original anime.
After the claims of plagiarism were made, the Police Public Relation Branch (#PPRB) responded to Apple Daily's inquiry, claiming that the post did not plagiarise from any external source, and stated the character was created using the theme "grape".
The incident was quickly noticed by the Japanese media and TBS also reported the incident on the news. Many netizens critisized the act of plagiarism and claimed that "China lacks the idea of copyright".
[Editor's note:
"Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" is a manga created by Koyoharu GotĹŤge. The anime film "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train" is Japan's highest grossing film in 2020.
As the Hong Kong police allegedly committed plagiarism in November 2020, it was also when the film was released in Hong Kong.]

Police Change Testimonies and Describe Tear Gas as "Fireworks" During #CoronersInquest of Pro-democracy Student #AlexChow
During the Anti-Extradition Law Protests in 2019, on November 4, university student Alex Chow Tsz-lok fell from height at Sheung Tak Carpark, when the police were dispersing civilians in the area. The cause of Chow's fall remained unknown and the 22-year-old young man passed away at 8:09 am on November 8, 2019.
Nov 18, 2020 was the third day into the coroner's inquest. Here are some key findings:

5. Police Sergeant Claims Teammates Did Not Obstruct Rescue
East Kowloon Emergency Unit (Squad No. 4) sergeant Yeung Hip-sing testified that he heard someone shouting "[we are] handling an injured person" in the carpark.
However, he was too occupied in looking for whom he called the "rioters" and did not go near to check on the injured person.
Lau said from his position he was not able to see if his teammates had climbed over the barricade, but he was sure that they did not obstruct rescue.
A jury member questioned Lau's testimony, "You did not see the injured person, but you claimed you could not see your teammates obstructing rescue. How do you arrive at this conclusion?"
Meanwhile, Lau mixed up left and right when giving his testimony. At a certain point, Coroner's Officer Choi Chi-hong said to Lau, "Let me clarify with you what is left and what is right first."

6. Police Claim "Tear Gas Grenades Did Not Enter the Carpark"
Sergeant Lau Hip-sing claimed that the "tear gas grenades can't be shot into the carpark" according to his sight. Lau said the first three shots of tear gas grenades exploded above the protesters and "fell to the ground like fireworks".
=======
7. Many Police Officers Did Not Know the Whereabouts of Squad No. 1
After several police officers were summoned, it was found that there were more than two squads operating outside the carpark.
However, several officers who were deployed did not know the whereabouts of Squad No. 1.
