Walk of Shame: Plainclothes Officers Left Behind and Heckled by Bystanders
2100 | Cheung Sha Wan Road, #LaiChiKok
Police began boarding vehicles to leave the scene, but a few plainclothes officers were left behind and had to walk back to the station.
Nearby civilians, such as this lady, took the opportunity to berate them and vent their displeasure against the police:
"You've become so corrupt!"
"You've lost your humanity, you've sinned against the gods and against your morals!"
"They've left you four behind to face us!"

Featuriing members of legendary Japanese 80’s hardcore band Deathside, the band dedicated this song to Hongkongers in pursuit of freedom and democracy.
In an interview with Unite Asia on September 18, 2020, the band said,
“It was very encouraging to see Hong Kong people stand up and fight for freedom in Hong Kong. Though we in Japan might not be in the same boat as Hong Kong, we felt it very much in our hearts. Police violence is absurd and ridiculous. With the ferocity of the assault on victims every day, we felt sorry for not being able to do anything. We are also extremely upset and saddened at the arrest of Miss Agnes Chow in August, and we became more enthusiastic about the people of Hong Kong. So we thought maybe the least we can do for the people of Hong Kong is something through our music.
We dedicate this song to the people who fight against brutality, and people who believe in humanity. There must be something that can be done and impact change by connecting with humanity wholeheartedly.
We are always with you.
香港加油！”
The use of the acronym A.C.A.B can be traced as early as to 1920. In the 1980s, the British punk band The 4-skins popularized the term in their song of the same name.

"Made from ordinary bricks, these small but powerful structures were used by Hong Kong protestors from the pro-democracy movement as roadblocks to slow down police vehicles...
Easier to make and more difficult to clear than ordinary roadblocks, they became widespread when the protests escalated in November 2019.
Designed by Hong Kong protestors."
