Over hundreds of citizens at Citiplaza sang protest anthem and chanted protest slogans. The scene was peaceful until more than a hundred police storrmed in the shopping mall to disperse civilans and reporters and intercept first aiders. Stores shut down quickly.

Police flashed strong light at Stand News reporter who was filming police conducting stop and search. Two security guards of the private housing estate Taikoo Shing intervened but were accused by the police of obstructing justice. Police demanded the guards to disperse the reporter and turn non-residents away, otherwise the police would enter private premise to enforce order.

A Taikoo Shing resident’s on site observation: Prohibition on Group gathering Regulation (Cap 599) provides Hong Kong Police another excuse for abuse of power - Rev. Yuen Tin-yau

(27 April) I was very sad to see the plight of Hong Kong and the depravation of the Hong Kong Police yesterday evening. I couldn't calm down until this morning.

I preached at a church on Sunday morning. It was a lovely sunny afternoon. I went for hiking at Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir. I felt so good until I returned to Taikoo Shing around 6.30 pm when everything turned me around! Before I entered Cityplaza, I already seen intensive presence of riot police force outside. Their guns were fully loaded as if they were facing some sort of dangerous enemies. Inside the mall, there were hundreds of people scattered around. The riot police force stormed in less than few minutes after I entered the shopping centre to disband the crowds before I could even hear anybody chanting slogans or doing anything. “I live at TaikooShing, I didn’t participate in anything. Why am I not allowed to walk around?” I asked the police. "You violated Cap 599." A police officer replied rudely. "I'm on my own, how do I violating the ban'?" I asked. "You are because I say so!!" He said. I was furious.

As I passed through the mall slowly preparing to leave, I saw riot police pointing their long guns at the citizens. There were elderly and children there, how could the police do this to the civilians? Innocent people would be hurt if the guns fired off accidentally. Of course, I could hear people at the site condemning the police while the other side spatted back “cockroaches” and other indecent insults that were hard for me to let out of my tongue. A law enforcement officer should not insult citizens even if they break the law; let alone not everyone at the site was in the sing glory to HK activity!
