Thugs with badges
It is evident the Hong Kong Police don’t think the law applies to them, rather they have become the personal mercenaries of the Hong Kong government or in other words the pawns of the Chinese Communist Party. They are no longer behaving as enforcers of the law, rather their behaviour suggests they have become the judge, jury and executioner. Shocking video evidence has come out where a large group of police officers were caught dragging a person into the back alley and beating him. The victim was an innocent volunteer who only shows up to ensure the kids who are protesting are treated fairly and stay safe.
When this topic was asked at the Police press conference, the Superintendent of Police from the New Territories District described the incident of the officer kicking a yellow “object.” Interesting choice of words to say the least, especially when you enlist an English native speaker to respond to inquiries of this incident.
