Yau Tsim Mong District Councillors Douglas Tsang and Owan Lee met with reporters after encounters with police in Mong Kok last night, and spoke against their questionable tactics and attitudes.
Blinding Lights and Agitation Tactics: "They Try to Make You Retaliate"
The councillors said that police officers were aiming their high-powered flashlights at reporters as well as councillors observing nearby; the lights were so strong that it was impossible to see anything in its direction, Tsang said. Li added that the police helmets are already equipped with a flashlight; however, the light they shone at the crowd was at least 5 times as bright, as there were 5 emitters visible in the device.
Even more deplorable is how they have used the light, Li continued. While police allowed reporters to come closer, they shone the intense lights at the cameras to blind the cameras. While the police had received new resources and equipment, Li noted that they were being used against the press, to trample upon what little freedom Hong Kong has left - including the freedom of press and the journalists' right to provide coverage. "The abuse of power is completely unchecked; there seemed to be no disciplinary measures handed out against officers violating their general orders. This had directly caused the disintegration of Hong Kong."
Tsang observed that the police was actively trying to agitate everyone at the scene - civilians, journalists, and councillors alike: "they try to make you retaliate, and if you do, they would arrest you." He was glad that the crowd tonight restrained themselves well. but also noted that the police was becoming more and more aggressive in their tactics of agitation, including blinding lights and rude actions and language. Tsang said these issues must not be ignored, and they will continue to be discussed at the district council, including in the meeting this coming Thursday.
Callsigns Unreadable, Accountability Questionable
The councillors also found the police's attitude towards accountability questionable. After having been hit by their blinding lights, Tsang complained to a media liaison officer; the officer promised to pass it on, but came back only to tell Tsang that they had now turned off the lights. Tsang further asked for the callsigns of the officers in the squad involved; however, the liaison officer simply turned and left. Tsang criticized that, while the liaison officer's role is to communicate, they simply abandoned their job halfway through.
Although the officers technically did wear their callsign cards on their jackets, Li observed that they wrapped it in plastic so reflective that he could not make out the text. Had the callsigns been readable, Tsang said, they would have demanded an explanation from the officers in charge on the scene, as well as filing written complaints. As it is, however, the public had no way to identify these officers and hold them accountable.
Protected by such anonymity, the police spoke rudely to councillors, shoved them with shields, and shone intense lights at them, despite repeated requests to stop doing so. "They were unapologetic and unrepentant; how can such a so-called disciplinary force be expected to protect the citizens of Hong Kong?" Li said.

Call for Magnitsky Act
A group of Australians, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Vietnameses,
Hongkongers and other communities rallied for global enactment of the Magnitsky Act in Brisbane, Australia at 12th June. A one year mark of the Hong Kong protests, this is the most tragic and unforgettable year for all Hongkongers.
When tear gas and rubber bullets become our daily basis, we will never forget the injustice and the brutality by the police force.
Thank you for all overseas people who believe in the the same values and standing with us. #Hongkongers will never give up.

Seems like the Hong Kong Government is suggesting something here... Are they trying to incite secession?

A young German stated: “HK Police went easy on my Free Tibet T-shirt probably due to their poor English.”
Earlier this afternoon, a German born in Hong Kong, Sam, wearing a “Free Tibet” T-shirt and “Fuck Racism” face mask was intercepted and searched on Paterson Street, suspecting of violating the National Security Law.
He told reporters that the police officer searched him asked, “What is Tibet?” also asking whether he has been to Tibet. He was surprised that the officer didn’t inquire much about the T-shirt, adding it was probably due to their poor English communication skills.
The young German was later ticketed for violating gathering ban.

On the night of a full moon, our thoughts are with the 12 HKers who are separated from their families while being detained in China.
We can only pray for their safety and long for their returns.

Hong Kong Police Force and the Department of Justice insisted that the arrests made during protests were fair.
The Stand News has followed up with 594 of the concluded cases, in an attempt to figure out the truth: Were the arrests excessive?

We call for your attention again as the 12 HKers are still unable to return home. It has been 100 days since their arrests. Please stand with HK and fight for justice and democracy with us.

Don't be mistaken, Carrie Lam is not the Chief Executive of Hong Kong. She is the Chief Executive Puppet from China.

Hong Kong as we know is slowly disappearing in all aspects. It seems like there will be no more "Hong Kong" in the future, only "Hong Kong, China".

How many more will they put behind bars? The HK government is imprisoning anyone who goes against them, trying hard to silence HKer's cries for freedom and democracy.
