Government's Budget Plan Releases Misleading statistics on Efficiency of Emergency Hotline by the Police
Police received over 24,000 calls from victims and witnesses of the Yuen Long Triad attack at the night of 21 July 2019. Officers took 49 minutes to arrive at the scene but eventually turned away from the assailants without defending the civilians.
The newly released 2020 Budget Plan, however, claimed the response rate for emergency calls (999) from the New Territories reached 97.9%. News outlets like Ming Pao and Stand News as well as lawmaker Chu Hoi-dick all suspected that the calls made by help-seeking civilians on 21 July 2019 were excluded from the report.
Consider that the total number of emergency hotline usage was around 84,000 last year, it was estimated that only 71.5% reached the service standard if those 24,000 calls were counted.
Police did not reply the enquiries on the attainment rate calculation and detailed data.

More Top Police Officials Found Breaching Property Law
The commandant of the auxiliary police force, Yang Joe-tsi, has allegedly violated property law.
Illegal structure was suspected in Yang's village house in Sai Kung. According to an investigative report by Mingpao, the structure is half the size of the rooftop and covered by solar panels.
Yang, however, is not the only top police official in Hong Kong who might have breached the property law. Police commissioner Chris Tang, Commander Rupert Dover, Chief superintendent David John Jordan and superintendent Vasco Gareth Llewellyn Williams (known for his "yellow object" remark) were discovered to have similar structures and licensing issues at their houses.
In addition, at least four police officers were allegedly connected to a drug slash.

Who is the lawbreaker?
Young protestors stormed into the Legislative Council last July to show their disappointment towards the deteriorating rule of law in Hong Kong. They insisted leaving money in a small collection basket for drinks taken from the cooler even in an extreme state of fury and fear. They also left behind a hand-written note reinstating that they would not steal like a thief.
However, a riot police who is well trained to enforce the law in Hong Kong, snatched a bottled water from a convenient stall during an operation in public and walked away without paying. Did he not just deliberately break the law?
If the incident was not caught on video and later gone rival on internet, would this police officer take the trouble to go back to the shop and pay?

Gun Versus Camera; Persistence Equals Hope
In response to China's National People's Congress ramming a National Securtiy Law towards Hong Kong, the local population cannot stand just sitting around doing nothing and letting their rights freedom be taken away.
The protest on May 24, 2020 is Hongkongers' reminder for one another: "Only when there is persistence can there be hope; if you give up, who will fight for you?"

HK News Channel Forbids Staff From Donning Black
Pro-democracy lawmaker, Lam Cheuk-ting was arrested on August 26, 2020 on suspicion of rioting on 21 July 2019. Lam was known to be a victim among many other civilians that day in the Yuen Long 7.21 mob attack that day.
The public, much astonished, condemned the police for deliberately confounding right and wrong. Netizens called for civilians to “wear black” on August 27 to show their discontent to “police lies”.
Sources revealed that the management of Now TV issued a notice that reminded the news department and particularly reporters and news anchors to avoid donning black.
The reminder claimed that it is a "long standing practice" for reporters and anchors not to show up in front of camera in "any sensitive colors closely associated with social movement" in order to "show their neutral position".
The staff described this reminder from the management as a rare action, reflecting the lack of trust in reporter’s judgement and journalistic professionalism.

District Councilor denounces HK Police for providing inconsistent and confusing responses on a case involving police officers
On September 5, 2020, district councillor Lancelot Chan Wing-Tai, of the Eastern District, posted on Facebook two screenshots from a surveillance camera in a resident building.
The photos captured two blue-clad men poising as police officers, demanded to enter a building in Chai Wan.
At the request of the security guard, the two men showed warrants without photo nor ID number. The guard refused to let them into the building and the men left.
When Lancelot Chan raised an inquiry to the police force on this incident, the force replied that they were unable to identify these two men, so the case was listed as a “suspicious person's discovery” and investigation is underway.
In their response to media inquiry on September 6, the police force still described the case as a “suspicious person's discovery” where two men left the scene without providing information as requested by the security guard.
However, just a day later on 7 September, the police force changed their statement in a post on Facebook. The Police Force claimed that these two men belonged to the Criminal Headquarters of Hong Kong Island General District.
In other words, the Force changed their statement by reinstating the police identity of whon they called "police impersonators" just one day ago.
Contrary to the video footage and the Force themselves earlier, the Force now said that the two men "left the building after carrying out an investigation".
The district councillors then asked the police for further clarification as he pointed out the apparent inconsistencies in the police’s responses, the statement provided by the security guard and the video footage.

Hong Kong Police denies brutal assault of pro-democracy protesters in court hearing despite video evidence
Journalist Tam Wai-wan wrote about what she witnessed during the court hearing in Hong Kong:
"…people were shocked by the excessive amount of blood on the forehead of the 6th defendant when videos were shown in the court room.
While the police officer acknowledged that the defendant was bleeding, he claimed that he 'did not know why.'
In the live broadcast footage shown in the court, which captured how the defendant was arrested at the protest scene, it showed 5-6 riot police charging towards the defendant, aggressively hitting him with their batons.
Blatantly making claims contrary to the evidence, the police officer responsible for the arrest claimed that he was not aware of the doings of his colleagues.
When the defending lawyer asked whether he hit the defendant with a baton, causing him to bleed profusely, the officer claimed that he 'only hit his arms'..."

Volunteer #FirstAider who attended in #AlexChow’s case criticises the police for being dishonest
Carson Tsang Long-hin, spokesperson of the group #Ideologist, was the volunteer first aider who appeared at the Coroner’s Court as a citizen witness for Alex Chow’s case.
Tsang said he respected the jury’s decision that the cause of death was suspicious, and hoped Hong Kongers would allow time for the Chow’s family to reflect and digest the decision.
Tsang criticised the police for lying at the press conference following Chow’s death that they did not enter the parking lot when Chow fell. The police only admitted doing so when evidence that showed the opposite was found.
Tsang also questioned whether the police have done their best on the investigation as they claimed that no videotape showing Chow’s fall was found. The videotape was later found upon investigation by the Coroner and the Coroner officer.
