Force's inefficiency shown in time taken for them to get police vehicle to site
2155 | Shandong Street / Sai Yeung Choi St South, #MongKok
A reporter witnessed a group of arrestees being taken away from a Wilson phone store.
A police officer said that it would take about half an hour to for them to arrange for another police vehicle to take about 10 female arrestees back to the police station. The reporter was very puzzled that it takes half an hour for the force's vehicle to reach the downtown area of Mong Kok, which is an extremely long time given the distance that the police vehicle actually has to travel.

Streetside Banners of Song Lyrics for a Season of Heavy Hearts in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, banners with social movement-themed song lyrics appeared on the streets of Mongkok over the past few weeks, in courtesy of Mongkok North District Councilor Siu Tak-kin.
He hung up these banners at locations allotted to him as a district councillor, in order to bring the locals some cheer and blessings.
Citizens joked that these banners "come with sound" and the now-familiar songs seem to play in their heads as soon as they read the lyrics.
The lyrics on the banners read:
"Stars may fade, as darkness fills the air
Through the mist a solitary trumpet flares"
"If I could be by your side, through the good times and the bad -
That's already good enough"
"In the end, this is a revolution without winners
But I wish that you would - please -
stay and bear witness with me"
"If there are rioters on this planet,
Is this what they would be like?"

19-year-old student files a civil claim against HK Police Force: It's a fight for justice
During the anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong two years ago, a 19-year-old pro-democracy student, Pang Yue-him (彭裕謙) was arrested in #MongKok in November 2019 for possessing a #LaserPointer. Pang plead not guilty.
Without seeking legal representation, Pang took defence for himself in prosecution, reviewed the evidence, and cross-examined the witness in English. In June 2021, he won the court case and was acquitted.
Five months later, Pang filed a civil case at the #DistrictCourt on December 1, accusing the Hong Kong Police Force of disclosing incomplete, misleading and incorrect information which could be deemed “misrepresentation”. He claimed a remedy amounted to HK$520,000.
Handling the #CivilClaim case unrepresented, Pang openly acknowledged that the chance of winning the case is slim. He intended to carry on the court case as a fight for justice.
