Regarding the problem with non-uniformed police officers not identifying themselves as police and accused of provoking protesters, the Hong Kong Police Force made this statement:

There has been people camping outside the British Consulate in Hong Kong in the last few months. They requested the UK government to provide BNO holders (Hong Kongers who born before 1997) the right of abode in the UK. It has been a peaceful silent sit-in since.
Today (Jan 11th), the riot police decided to go into the scene and clear the site. During the operation, it is believed the riot police has breach the boundary of the British Consulate and arrested the people who were sitting in.
