Holocaust historian: "cockroaches" and "dogs" are both derogatory but different in degree of negativity

If Hong Kong aspires to be an international city, it has to respect world history. The so-called “best in Asia” Hong Kong police force do not seem to have learnt from significant lessons in world history.

Nearly three years ago, in the Beating of Ken Tsang case, seven police officers were jailed for beating up protestor Ken Tsang during the Umbrella Movement. This led to a protest by tens of thousands of police officers during which a police officer drew an analogy between the difficult situations they encountered and the Nazi persecution the Jews faced. Consequently, both the German and the Israeli consulates criticised such analogy as inappropriate.

New Fire Chief Installed Amid Pandemic Calls Pro-democracy Protesters "Cockroaches"

Joseph Leung Wai-hung will take over as the Director of Fire Service on Saturday, April 18 as the current Director Daryl Li Kin-yat retires.

The newly installed fire chief is standing by his controversial remarks of calling the protesters "cockroaches" during a meeting in 2019, stating that it was just an emotional remark. Leung believes that the incident is only a trivial matter and will not affect the operation of the department.

Current Director Daryl Li expressed his regrets on having to leave his post while the pandemic is still ongoing. He also responded to the Prince Edward Station incident saying that the department’s mobilization record would inevitably contain clerical errors. He believes that the allegation towards the police department’s “unwillingness to save lives” was untenable.

Police call Civilians "Cockroaches"; Officer Conceals Operation Call Name with Cling Wrap

Some riot police were emotionally charged up and hurled abuses at citizens in downtown Mongkok on Sunday, June 28, calling them “cockroaches” and threatening them with pepper spray.

One officer was seen covering his operation call name with cling wrap, showing a big contrast with those call names revealed.

Netizens called for a “silent rally” on June 28 along streets in Mong Kok and Jordan districts, where there was no assembly and no chanting of protest slogans.
