Citizens dissent increased budget for police force
Netizens staged a protest "Lunch with You" in Central at noon today. Over 30 citiziens showed up at the IFC Mall. Some of them brought along posters and pamphlets that read "lockdown borders to save Hong Kong from Coronavirus outbreak". Others denounced the recently-unveiled 2020 budget as "garbage", in opposition to the substantial increase in the resources allocated to the police.

'Lunch with You' Continues on the First Anniversary of Protest
The HKSAR government’s reckless introduction of Extradition Bill last year shocked the city’s population, resulting in 1.03 million HongKongers taking their disatisfaction out to the streets on June 9, 2019, marking the beginning of the anti-ELAB movement.
Although the Bill was eventually shelfed on October 23, 2019, the movement’s five demands were never properly addressed.
Following the passage of the National Anthem Law and the National Security Law last week, and in the face of stifled freedom and democracy, netizens called on HongKonger’s to fight on during their lunch breaks in 7 districts, including Wanchai, Central, Taikoo, Kwai Chung, San Po Kong, Kowloon Bay and Kwun Tong.
Police were sighted in these districts standing guard, broadcasting “gathering restrictions” and urging citizens to disperse and threatening further actions if they did not comply.

Peaceful protestors Intercepted and Intimidated by police: "Ask the higher-ups for decision to arrest or not"
On July 6, more than 10 citizens chanted slogans in the IFC Atrium in a "Lunch With You" protest. Some civilians held printed text messages and some only held blank paper.
Soon, about 20 riot police officers entered the mall and intercepted at least 5 civilians who participated in the rally. In addition to checking the civilians' backpacks, they also carefully checked the held papers and ordered the intercepted civilians to remove their masks to record their appearances.
Some civilians holding polka dot pictures stated that after being intercepted, police officers said, "Ask the higher-ups for decision to arrest or not." The officers also said that all the personal information is available to them now and "We'll find you if anything happens." However, the person being intercepted said that the police officer never stated which law they had violated. "They never mention the National Security Law or any other laws." "The police officer only explicitly discussed to 'do them or not' (meaning whether arrest him or not, mostly without sufficient evidence)."
