Watch Video: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/10163

At 23:56 at Sai Yeung Choi Street and Nelson Street, the police demanded members of the press to get back on the sidewalk, but previously the police had been asking them to look at and record the crowd blocking the road.

Meanwhile, a journalist from The Stand News recounted the contrary demands of the police:
A police commander asked him to record the road-blocking citizens, whereas other officers keep asking him to leave and "stop playing around".

At 00:03 (Nov 10), a police officer demanded an onlooker not to "provoke" other citizens. A journalist pointed out that the police officer should have used the word "incite", or the officer might have wanted to say "provoke the police".

Resident recorded arrests made by riot police by their windows, followed by unrestrained riot police firing pepper balls at resident

Police Force dispersed the protesters in Tseung Kwan O at midnight (Nov 9). The police entered Beverly Garden for several times and intercepted numerous residents, causing disturbance to all.

A resident, Mr. So, recorded the police's action on his phone inside his apartment, but was then insulted by the police and the officer fired 4 rounds of pepper balls towards the apartment unit.

In an interview conducted by Apple Daily, Mr. So said he is still furious, “[The police force] shot 2 pepper balls, and then 2 more after a couple of seconds. Fortunately the glass is still intact, but the smoke got into the apartment. It was all over my dad's face and the smell is still in the house, it is very irritating to the nose.” There are still fragments of the pepper balls on the bed.
