A busker was surrounded by a group of riot police and had his ID taken down by them. The same group of riot police officers then proceeded on disperse the bystanders at the scene. The busker was later escorted to safety by a journalist and left after the scene after getting searched by the police.

While all these were happening, a police officer suddenly started to harass reporters, repeatedly chanting in front of the camera “Black Lives Matter” and “I Can’t Breathe” in an attempt to mock the protests going on in the US. These slogans stemmed anti-racism campaigns in the US.

Shortly after, the same police officer queried reporters in Mandarin and commented that the Hong Kong Police Force was way better than the law enforcement in the United States.

Hong Kong Protest: Standing the Test of Time

1 year into the Movement, a city-wide anti-National Security Law exhibition was organized as a response to netizens' call to remember the long and arduous journey Hongkongers have walked through in the past year, defending and fighting to protect the scraps of freedom and democracy left in Hong Kong.

Exhibition panels were erected across Hong Kong to showcase the timeline of anti-ELAB movement, attracting passers-by to stop over and digest information on the exhibitions.

Defying “social distancing restriction”, citizens gathered briefly, chanted protest slogan and sang “Glory to Hong Kong” as an encouragement to the all participants.

A disproportionally amount of riot police were deployed, standing guard nearby the exhibition venues to disperse citizens. They dragged passer-bys into police cordon line for inquiry for no rhyme of reason. Among them were legislators and district councilors.

Hundreds of onlookers were also stopped and searched in Mong Kok and Causeway Bay; a common scare tactic employed by the force to deter people from joining future gatherings like this
