Police Deny Turning Pro-dem Lawmaker from "plaintiff to defendant" Even after Arresting Him, Police: 7.21 Yuen Long Attack is Not Police-Triad Collusion
Police arrested 16 citizens including pro-democracy lawmakers Lam Cheuk-ting and Ted Hui on Aug 26, 2020.
In a police press conference on the same day, the police was asked by the journalists under what ground Lam, who is a victim of gangster attack in Yuen Long on 21 July, 2019, is charged with rioting on the day of the event.
The police evaded the question and claimed that "indiscriminate attack" is an "untruthful" description of the Yuen Long 7.21 Attack. Moreover, the police changed their earlier statement of having arrived 39 minutes late in Yuen Long. The police now claimed the time they took to arrive was "18 minutes".
The police also rejected the accusation of police-triad collusion on that day where the police allegedly turned a blind eye to the violent assaults inflicted by the white-clad gangsters on civilians and pro-democracy protesters.
The police was asked to explain a photo that captured a police officer tabbing a white-clad person on the shoulder but without stopping and searching the two men carrying long metal rods. The police said it was not a sign of collusion, but without providing further explanation. The police spokesperson also became agitated during the press conference, emphasizing "no matter what colour you are wearing, we will look into you!".
The police also questioned the journalists for "not knowing what happened in Yuen Long on 21 July 2019" and insisted that they did not turn Lam from "plaintiff to defendant". At around 1608, the police spokesperson left when journalists were still asking questions.
