Hong Kong Police Don Chinese Flag

The global assembly organised by the Hong Kong Civil Assembly Team called for the world to boycott Communist China for its suppression of human rights. The peaceful assembly was turned into a clash between the police and the public, after the police suddenly charged in the crowd.

Policemen stopped and searched civilians in multiple areas. Opposite to the Times Square at Russell Street, two women dressed in black were searched, and were asked to face the wall. A policeman had a PRC flag stuck on his uniform.

That policeman was in a state of unusual hyperactivity, dancing in sync to the explosions from the tear gas canister. He only put on his gas mask when the smoke started reaching him.
