#11Aug | inside #KwaiFong MTR.

These locations have all experienced tear gas indoors. Some even received direct hits from tear gas canisters fired directly into the indoor area.

Clear warnings labels have been printed on the suppliers' product specifications, as well as on the tear gas canisters itself, reminding users not to release tear gas indoors. Repeated warnings from toxicologists and United Nations experts have all gone unheeded by the Hong Kong Police, who deployed these weapons against its intended purpose and protocol again and again, on at least seven separate occasions.

Hysterical Riot Police Point Pepper Spray at Civilians in a Park on Sunday

According to Stand News, a Tuen Mun District Councillor asked to see the police commander on the scene, not only that the riot police ignored him, one of the officers even accused him for being delusional.

The riot police later pointed pepper-spray at civilians and reporters, and broke into the crowd, causing chaos while shouting hysterically, “don’t touch my stick (the pepper spray)!".

Whilst no conflict was taking place, riot police losing their temper appeared to be psychologically unstable and behaved hysterically.
