Off-duty Police Officer found Misusing Weapons and Abusing their Power
Batons have been distributed to police officers so that they could executive their duties off hours. However, an off-duty police officer was suspected of assaulting a citizen with a baton for “personal use”.
According to a car camcorder video provided by a citizen, a man in a striped tee was driving a motorcycle with a female passenger. When he drove past Kweilin Street in Sham Shui Po, he was suspected of getting into an argument with a passerby. It could be seen that the man became emotional and took out a baton from his trunk, hitting the passerby in his legs multiple times.
The victim and other citizens confronted the off-duty officer in question for using excessive force. About 20 to 30 riot police officers arrived at the scene about 10 minutes later but they claimed that the incident had been "settled" and would be treated as an incident of dispute. Nobody was criminally prosecuted.

Police Refuse to Disclose Identity; Prosecutor Fails to Collate Reasons For Over Two Months
A student from CUHK was accused of assaulting Sergeant X with an iron bar during the clashes between police and civilians after a protest on October 20. The case was reheard at the Kowloon City Magistrates' Court on December 3.
The defense revealed that the prosecutor had not yet provided the reason to anonymizing Sergeant X after two months. The prosecutor claimed that the arrangement should be applied to all cases in Hong Kong.
Being questioned by Acting Principal Magistrate Yim Shun-yee, the prosecutor admitted that the explanation was “not ready”. Yim questioned “why does it take so long?” and “how hard could it be?” The prosecutor insisted that the anonymized arrangement applied to all police and could not be considered separately. Yim refuted “I don’t understand. If there are 10 police officers. Five are scared and five are not. What is your overall consideration?”
The case was adjourned to 7 February 2020, pending further legal advice from the prosecution.

Court Rejects Agnes Chow's Appeal Application,
Chow: "It is my honor to be able to participate in social movements"
Before her 24th birthday on Nov 27, 2020, Agnes Chow wrote an open letter. The following excerpt tells of her conviction in fighting for freedom:
"In the face of sentencing, I was very nervous and a little afraid. I am afraid that I cannot adapt to prison life. I am also afraid that I will have to celebrate my birthday (the second day of conviction) behind the bars.
On the eve of my 24th birthday, I was still recruiting gifts, I was going to film the unboxing of my gifts. But now, my birthday, work, and unboxing are gone, only the cold court papers and the anxiety of waiting for sentencing are left.
I have said several times before that it is my honor to be able to participate in social movements. I still hold this belief until today. Without the courage to join the social movement that day, I will certainly not be the one I am today. In a society full of fear nowadays, we have to experience a lot, and there are more pain and sacrifice. To me, this is also an ordeal.
I wish justice will return to society soon and I hope I can spend my 24th birthday outside the prison."
On Dec 7, 2020, four days after Chow was sentenced to jail for 10 months, she was in a two-person isolation room and the following are her words:
"On the day of sentencing, I was touched to see so many people came to see us off (I cried on the shoulder of an elderly woman who sat next to me), I could see very clearly what was written on the placards held by those chasing the prison van.
The letters I received during this period of time have been very encouraging to me, by knowing that people outside are still supporting me, I have gained the strength to endure the suffering. I hope people can also attend the trials of and write to other imprisoned protesters."
On Dec 9, 2020, the court in Hong Kong denied Agnes Chow's application for an appeal.

Hong Kong Security Head denies brutality in campus arrest during anti-ELAB movement
On December 3, 2021, Chris Tang Ping-keung, Secretary for Security in Hong Kong accused a local press, Stand News, for biased reporting with an attempt to demonize law enforcement authorities.
Tang blamed an inaccurate news report published by Stand News in November 2019. He said, the news which cited an anonymous person, described how the police entered the Chinese University.
In defense, Tang claimed the police did not enter the university campus, but guarded over #2 bridge and stopped people from hurling Molotovs and harrassing the traffic at the Tolo Harbour Highways.
Tang stressed that the Police Force had issued a statement to rebuke Stand News which clarified that the force did not enter the university campus. The same statement also reprimanded Stand News for “glamourizing violence.”
The Stand News looked back into the videos recorded on 12 November 2019 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK). The video showed the police conducting an arrest operation in the afternoon at the campus at east road roundabout.
