"Crybully" - Police accused councillors of assault after shoving him

2027 | #Taikoo

As Councillor Andrew Chiu was being helped to leave the frontline area, a riot police officer inexplicably rushed towards him, forcing him away from his assistant on whom he had been leaning on. The officer then began accusing Chiu for assaulting an officer, with his glasses fogged over and his voice apparently breaking from rage.

As Chiu began to protest that the officer had in fact shoved his assistant first, the officer immediately aimed his pepper spray at Chiu's face to silence him.

Police Look In Vain For Civilians to Hand Out Gathering Ban Tickets

A police officer was holding a pile of 'gathering ban' tickets when yelling "where do you have four? Where do you have four?".

However, no civilians were gathering around him.

[Editor's note: According to the gathering ban in Hong Kong, any 'gathering' with more than 4 persons could be fined for HKD2,000. However, the police's selective enforcement of the anti-epidemic measures has stirred up a lot of controversies.]
