Police Lost Control: Firing Tear Gas next to Restaurant Filled with Dinners
Chinese-funded and pro-beijing shops were vandalised during the protest. Police discharged tear gas in Causeway Bay and Wan Chai to disperse protestors. Journalists needed to wear mask to walk in the toxic mist, but there were still customers having meals in restaurants.

In Tsuen Wan, around 30 riot police were marching forward at the conjunction of Sha Tsui Road and Ham Tin Street.
Journalist from In-media HK was questioned by a riot police concerning his affiliated media organization. The police, however, did not seem to understand his answer and started yelling unreasonably: "You're not even from a newspaper. You're just a student pretending to be a journalist."

[Is it really the truth when the Hong Kong Government denied the imposition of martial law and curfew in Hong Kong?]
Part 1/3
The Emergency Regulations Ordinance: the Authorities' Magic Wand' to Bypass the Legislature in the Implementation of Draconian Measures
The Hong Kong government insisted that the implementation of the Anti-Mask Law is necessary to curb chaos in the city, even if it takes to bypass the legislature and adopt the Emergency Regulations Ordinance that empowers the Chief Executive to achieve the former.
In 2018, Typhoon Mangkhut swept through Hong Kong as the most intense one recorded in the city, where the typhoon signal No 10 was hoisted for 10 hours.
The typhoon caused territory-wide chaos and damage, making it difficult and unsafe for citizens to go to work the next day. Legislators then urged the government to adopt the Emergency Regulations Ordinance (ERO) to declare the following day (September 17) as a public holiday, so that citizens did not need to risk going out in view of the unclear and even unsafe road condition.
Nevertheless, CE Carrie Lam argued that having a day off was not a responsible action and suggested that employers should be compassionate and understanding to their employees.
Lam's refusal to invoke the Emergency Regulations Ordinance even when the most intense typhoon in Hong Kong's history smashed the city, despite the support of a fraction of the city's legislature. One year later, Lam however decided to use the Emergency Regulations Ordinance to bypass the law-making body, in order to bar citizens from wearing masks in public activities in the name of “ending violence”.
With regards to the government's contrary treatment of the two situations, the Emergency Regulations Ordinance is likely to become an instrument for the authorities to bypass the legislature to implement even more draconian measures.
Meanwhile, the series of actions undertaken by the governmemt during the heat of the ongoing protests show the authorities' total disregard of the public opinion. As the head of the government is not directly elected through universal suffrage, the Hong Kong government demonstrates its unquestioned obedience to China by overriding the voices of the local population and hence confirming its lack of representativeness in the very first place.

[Is it really the truth when the Hong Kong Government denied the imposition of martial law and curfew in Hong Kong?]
Part 2/3
Emergency Regulations Ordinance is Martial Law in Disguise, Eroding Completely the Freedom and Rights Promised to the Population
Although the government claimed to be willing to 'withdraw' the extradition law amendments in early September when the territory-wide protest entered the fourth month, in less than a month the government bypassed the Legislative Council and forcefully implement the Anti-Mask Law. (See the summary of the law: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7643)
The government's press conference on October 4 announced the immediate enforcement of the controversial mask ban in less than 12 hours, despite the criticism sparked off concerning infringement of personal privacy, rights and freedom promised in the Basic Law.
Share market analyst David Webb explained clearly the need for Hong Kong protesters to wear masks, so as to avoid political prosecution and retaliation (Read more: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7691). Webb also feared that the government would re-apply the Emergency Regulations Ordinance to enact other draconian laws and measures such as the restricted use of the Internet and the ban on publication and other communication means (read more: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7670).
In view of the ongoing withdrawal of capital from Hong Kong, Webb believed that the government's move had faltered Hong Kong's status as a stable financial hub, although the government officials denied such claims in the press conference.
On that account, there are reasons to believe not only that the Emergency Regulations Ordinance is a martial law in disguise, but also that the government's invocation of this law on October 4, as Webb suggested, probably opens up a precedent case for more unjust and unjustified policies to be implemented, hence completely eroding the freedom and rights entitled to Hong Kong people in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration and the city's own constitution Basic Law.

Shops Closed, Major Transport Suspended: The Authorities are Just Not Using the Word 'Curfew'
After the government's announcement of the Anti-Mask Law on October 4, classes in many secondary schools and universities were cancelled, while companies also dismissed their employees early and shops were closed early (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7617). Some citizens rushed to supermarkets for grocery as if the city would turn into an emergency state in no time; while others occupied streets to protest before the Anti-Mask would become effective after midnight
https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7659).
On October 4, police ordered bus companies to stop their services (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7684) while the MTR also completely stopped running at 22:35. The suspension of major public transports had made it difficult, if not impossible, for citizens to seek for medical help. Fortunately, two parents who are in need of bringing their child to a doctor were assisted by protesters to get to the hospital (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7687).
One day after the government had invoked the Emergency Regulations Ordinance, on October 5 over 22 large shopping malls are to be completely closed while the MTR has announced the suspension of service in all lines (including the airport express, the light rail and MTR shuttle buses) in the morning, at least.
In the last evening before masks would since then be banned in the city, Hong Kong police was filmed telling the passers-by that those wearing a mask “will die” as the law would be in effect (Source: Stand News). Incidents suggest that it is also likely for the police to abuse power under the Anti-Mask Law (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7707).
Meanwhile, the police continued to mistreat members of the press (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7714) after being known to have wounded an Indonesian journalist by causing permanent blindness on Sept 29.
In addition to shooting the 18-year-old schoolboy in the chest with a live round on Oct 1, the police wounded a 14-year-old boy with also a live round in his thigh. When the boy in critical condition was being operated, the riot police showed up and conduct searches in the hospital (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7712).
It is also noteworthy that the police force had relaxed the use of firearm in their internal guideline on Sept 30, which is allegedly a retrospective modification after the said Indonesian reporter was shot on Sept 29.
In view of the crash of the Hang Seng Index upon the government's decision (https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/7683), who is after all causing chaos in Hong Kong?

Citizens in masks standing up against the Anti-Mask Law
Large crowds of people marched to Central, protesting against the Anti-Mask law, with a majority of participants wearing caps and masks. They left peacefully after arriving at Chater Garden.
A retired lady expressed that she was not scared of being arrested because of the Anti-mask law, and she would continue to wear masks to protest. She criticized that the government enforced the law "for no reasons". She did not suggest, but was not against protester's acts of vandalising the shops, saying that "protesters revolt with stronger force when facing stronger oppression from government".
Mr Tam, another participant, believed that the legislation was too abrupt. The government should not stop people from questioning, but to answer to the demands of citizens instead. He criticized the Anti-mask law as "useless", as it would not help solve social problems. Instead, it stirs up anger. The government should have announced the curfew directly. He did not consider the act of protesters last night as "going too far", and their vandalism towards China-based company would be able to get attention.

Unbelievable as it sounds, the police warned of arresting the family for unlawful assembly.
As the couple voiced their disagreement with the police, the police shone flashlight at the eyes of the woman directly.
Apparently, hanging out with your family at night could be considered violating the law after the emergency powers of the government were invoked and the Anti-Mask Law is enforced.

Sapientia - Exhibition of the protests (Part 2)
A Mask of Xi Jinping
This cut out mask was used at a human chain demonstration against the amendments to the Extradition Bill and the Anti-mask Law. Wearing the mask is one of the creative responses to protest against the Anti-mask Law. While protesters urged for the “five demands”, Chief Executive Carrie Lam invoked the colonial-era Emergency Regulations Ordinance in October 2019 to ban the wearing of masks at assemblies. It is common amongst protesters to wear face coverings as it helps protesters to filter out tear gas shot by the police and to remain anonymous in this leaderless, faceless movement.
The Anti-mask Law, created to stop the protests, resulted in more intense social unrest afterwards.
