Today is the 3 year mark of the 7.21 Yuen Long attack, when all of Hong Kong watched in horror as police abandoned civilians and sided with the violent mobsters.

On this night 3 years ago, a large white-clad mob armed with sticks and pipes attacked MTR passengers and passersbys at the Yuen Long MTR station, on the pretense that they were protesters coming to protest in Yuen Long. Police officers were seen casually walking away as the attack was happening. Frantic citizens placed over 20,000 calls to the 999 emergency hotline, most of them unanswered. The Yuen Long Police Station even shut its gate and turned away citizens demanding a response.

Police finally arrived at the scene 39 minutes after the first report, long after the mob had dispersed. They were later seen warmly chatting with the white shirts gathering nearby. Pro-Beijing lawmaker #JuniusHo was also seen shaking hands with the white shirts, who greeted him warmly as he passed by.

At the government press conference the following day, Carrie Lam and the police chief dodged questions and gave little explanation for the police response in Yuen Long, prompting one exasperated journalist to demand that they "speak like human beings" and give Hongkongers some assurance. Instead, they simply turned and walked away as journalists shouted after them, nearly re-enacting the police response the night before.

In the wake of the 7.21 attack, trust in the police force plunged for Hongkongers across the political spectrum, as the city was confronted with the reality that the police force may no longer be protecting innocent civilians. The police force, for its part, tried to push the narrative that the one-sided attack was an evenly-matched "conflict between white-shirts and black-shirts", while simultaneously suppressing pro-democracy media who provided mounting evidence that refuted their claims.

In the 3 years since the attack, only 7 white-shirts were arrested for the attack that night. However, Lam Check-Ting, who injured by the white-clad attackers, is being charged for rioting.
