Police called onlookers 'trouble makers' and 'cockroaches'

Oct 2 00:31 Heng Fa Chuen
The police criticized journalists for only filming the police and not the "trouble makers".

Journalists later filmed from a different direction, but only about a dozen residents were seen. The residents were not participating in any activities other than yelling at the police.

A police officer then commented, "Get in the car, just ignore the cockroaches" before leaving in a vehicle.

Journalists asked a nearby security guard about what happened, and was told the police were there for a dispute incident. No one was arrested in the process.

'No One's Gonna Have Kid in this City'--Sighted in Hong Kong on October 1

The Hong Kong Police Force has been targeting Hong Kong youth: police brutality, random stop and search, arbitrary arrests, sexual harassment, torture etc.. Since the 8.31 Prince Edward Station incident, there here have been rumors that protestors were killed and suicide cases were staged. The fear of 'genocide' drives citizens to write this slogan on the wall of the Family Planning Association of Hong Kong.

Evidence of Police Framing Protesters: Replacing the plastic rod of the Unconscious Gun-shot Student with a Metal Stick


The above video clearly shows that 'Kin Jai' (the gun shot school-boy) collapsed on the ground after being shot and arrested. The white plastic rod he once had in his hand was NOT collected by the police.

Instead, police took a 4-foot metal stick with sharp end from afar, along with the kickboard the boy previously used as a shield. This is not the first time that the police were filmed to have suspectedly planted evidence on protesters.

10 veteran pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong plead guilty over 'National Mourning Day' Protest in 2019; 'Long Hair' Appears in Court with Short Hair


In Hong Kong court on May 17, 2021, ten heavy-weight pro-democracy activists pleaded guilty to "organising an unauthorised protest" on October 1, 2019.

They are former legislators 'long hair' #LeungKwokHung, #AlbertHo, #LeeCheukYan, #YeungSum, #CydHo and #SinChungKai; #AppleDaily founder #JimmyLai; and activists #FigoChan, #AveryNg and #RichardTsoi. That day marked the 'National Mourning Day' protest on the establishment day of the PRC during the Anti-ELAB movement

Among the defendants, convenor of the Civil Human Rights Front (#CHRF) Figo Chan, 'long hair' Leung Kwok-hung, Albert Ho, and Lee Cheuk-yan also pleaded guilty to "inciting" others on September 30, 2019 to take part in the protest.

When '#LongHair' Leung Kwok-hung appeared in court on May 17, 2021, his signature long hair has been cut short. Leung is currently serving his sentence in Stanley Prison for organizing and participating in an 'unauthorized' assembly on August 18, 2019.

The last time he was seen in short hair was in 2014 when serving a 4-week sentence after being convicted of 'causing chaos' in the Legislative Council in 2011. Then, Leung was forced to cut away his long hair due to the appearance policy of the correctional services.

Leung later filed a legal review, pointing out that it is discriminatory when female inmates are allowed to keep long hair while male inmates are not. In November 2020, the Court of Final Appeal approved Leung's review.

Nevertheless, on February 1, 2021, the Department of Correctional Services implemented a new policy where inmates, regardless of their gender, cannot keep their hair beyond their shoulder's length.
