Friendly Fire: Police Pepper-Sprayed a Masked Undercover Officer Until the Warrant card was Shown
A plainclothes officer wearing facemask was on the receiving end of multiple pepper sprays; he was visibly in pain. His colleagues kept on spraying him even he yelled "I'm one of you".
The riot police stopped spraying him only when he finally showed his warrant card. He was later helped away from the scene by two other officers, who were similarly dressed, with full-face coverings.
Editor's note: Some netizens commented that this is the result of the police displaying warrant cards. They end up shooting themselves in their foot, and they get to experience their very own "minimal and proportionate use of force".

Hong Kong Plainclothed Police to Senior Civilian: ”Holding baton is the same as wearing uniform”
On November 2, 2019, pro-democracy candidates running for the district council election had an assembly, but faced police suppression.
A plainclothed police demanded a 60-year-old civilian at the gate of the Victoria Park for his Identity card. The elderly asked for a proof of the identity of the plainclothed but was refused.
The man was charged of not refusing to present his identity card and smoking in restricted area. The case was heard in Eastern Magistrates' Court on 7 July. The defence explained that the man wanted to confirm the identification of the plainclothed police, before presenting his identity card; however, the plainclothed said his riot-control equipment meant his uniform: “holding the baton is the same as wearing uniform".
