- For months Hong Kong was caught in protests. But what does it mean to fight an impossible battle in a city full of violence, fear and uncertainty? Examine the Hong Kong protests through the lens of those caught in the middle: the police force. Once Asia's finest, the Hong Kong police force soon became the most hated. But how does the prolonged violence and harassment affect them and their families?

@@MrRIK325 You should see how brainwashed the mainland China public is, then.
This is a "COUP d'etat" attempted to overthrow HK legitimate government and replace a fascist puppet to favor the west!
@@freglusdougson1737 dude if you go anywhere online theres pro Chinese anti American propaganda everywhere some of it even originating in other countries...
39:03 ''We have guidelines'' whilst a police hit a non-resisting person really hard in the back of the head with a baton, twice ..
He only stopped hitting because another police told him to stop, but he kept being super violent slamming the head to the ground with his knee. I can understand that the situation is tense but that police kept hitting somebody that was not a threat. There is a huge difference between maintaining the law and beating a person that is down on the ground without resisting.
Is hard and crazy situations for them all maybe so some of them go nut
To be fair the protesters were beating police too. Guess it’s a riot now.
You saw a video of two police. One police from Hong Kong, and another police from the CCP.
LampuHijau By that logic, because Police have used so much force and sneaky tactics, the protesters now have the right to throw live grenades and assassinate police
@@nerdmysteria1406 The police do not have the right to violate the law. The police cannot cause unlawful injuries or murder Hong Kong citizens.
Lived & worked in HK for 21 years, Very difficult to isolate in one of the most dencely populated Cities in the world & still end up with a lower death rate than the UK.
UK and China are still bad for Hong Kong
This comment was directed towards somebody else
I visited the Chinese supermarket in Birmingham last year, few Chinese staff, Chinese quit their jobs and live on saving. Most of the staff are either Indian or English. None of the Chinese customers wore fabric face masks, all surgical masks, which were difficult to get. Chinese, Hong Kong people scare of corvid more than death.

lmao the vulgarities part where eveything is bleeped is probably just them saying dllm over and over again
What does she think police do give out kisses when the rioters throw petrol bombs.
They literally want the police to kneel down and let themselves get beaten and killed. This was never a fight for justice. This was an outright bullying scam and a thirst for power and some twisted sense of vengeance.
Unfortunately, The HK Police lost its status as “Asia’s Finest” because of these protests especially with how they handled it.
Hk police?
@@linstein5903 HK Police whatelse?
@@flip1sba hk police has been known as central gov controlled for a very long time.
The goal of any civil unrest is to embarrass the government and the police. As the situation in Hong Kong has normalised somewhat, the police can regain their composure and rapport with the community. It's already happening, although the protesters would love to deny that with sour grapes. That's all this was. A widespread attempt to bully the cops. You can tell by how undisciplined the protesters were, making threats to families and CHILDREN just because somebody might be related to a cop.
the HK police couldnt have done better!
I live in Hong Kong and I always ask my mom why is hongkong like this
@Itachirevived human rights council in china?
@GTA and Apple channel Two nuclear power fighting? No thanks.
@GTA and Apple channel I just registered for the draft in the US, I ain't supporting this war until the US is out of NATO. I'm not fighting WWIII.
GTA and Apple channel yeah you are forgetting something: China and Nk has f’n nukes that can reach continental US and Europe. I’m not risking the entire world going under a nuclear winter to save a few.
@GTA and Apple channel Dude do some research. You telling me CNN, MSNBC, Fox, AP are all lies? All of them say China have nukes to reach anywhere in the world and NK has the ability to reach the continental US. Even if they can't reach us you gonna let them nuke Hawaii or Guam? We ain't invading.
You guys forgot to mention the MTR Prince Edwards station beating by the communist police. That was another turning point.
32:43 a picture is worth a thousand words. Hard to hide from it
Bruh no wonder some hardcore protesters was wearing gears and even operated like the military a some months ago
singapore youre legends for funding this video.
The only person in that report who look genuine is the police's wife in the shadow. Everything she said make sense, her heart is at the right place, I feel sad for her, but don't lose your compassion for hong-kongers woman, you are an example for your people!
I can't agree with you at all. Your husband is risking his line on the line and all she can bitch about is how supposed "heartless" he is? Was she expecting him to deal with violence from rioters with a smile and risk dying in the process?
traitor to your country
And now, we have Corona.
When US have their protestors, they call rioters..
When HK have rioters, they call protestors..
Hypocrisy AF!
It is not the same. In US, people break the stores and rob. In HK people break the stores because they tell lies to the international public. People did not rob them. We even caught the robber and tie them up in the protest
Excellent whataboutism, does the US response to BLM change the fact that the HKPF did something wrong if? Of course not. If person A was accused of murder by person B, does the case get dropped because person B is also a murderer?
the woman should divorce her man. millions dont have a place to stay in hk and shes complaining about her house is like a prison. dont slap the hand that feeds you. she feels sorry for the guy with head cracked open and pinned by the cop? thats SOP for cops, ask amy cop around the world...i feel sorry for the 70 yr old city sanitation worker that was bricked to death by these student goons and the man that was burned alive with gasoline because he was trying to stop the goons from beating a woman to death
The opening is stupid enough, your husband is being attacked by rioters, with many badly hurt and others having their life threatened. Yet all can say is the police are heartless. If you other half stops caring about you and only about how she/he appears to her/his friends, then you know it's time to move on.
It’s been 1 year already but they dont seem to give up..
thư nguyễn, fair governments acknowledge the protesters goals and make compromises if possible, corrupt empires put down protests with unrelenting force and brutality.
Yeah and that's a good thing
It is because they are getting paid
Do you think they are rich enough to protest for a year despite Hong Kong is rich
And Hong Kong is rich not all its people living there and let’s not forget Hong Kong is one of most expensive city to live
Sabin Thopra they work at day time and protest at night. Also, Taiwan sent them masks to protest, and some other countries support them by sending them tools for their protest
Sabin Thopra And by the way, who’s paying them?
Hong Kong people are gonna pissed u said Hong Kong China
celtic barbarian Hong Konger here and I class my self as British thanks I wasn’t born after the 2047 so :)
@celtic barbarian you do know hong kong is majority owned by the UK and bc china has broken there contract that means majority of hong kong is still owned by the UK, ONLY A SMALL PART OF HONG KONG WAS 99 YEARS LEASE
@celtic barbarian Thanks for proving me right by not even knowing the truth, but its not ur fault ur just ignorant thanks to ur communist goverment .mao zedong killed 50 million chineas people and they still think he was a good person BRAINWASHED
@celtic barbarian China has a history of lying about its outbreaks, including SARS in 2002 and 2003. But Chinese leaders’ negligence in December and January-for well over a month after the first outbreak of corona virus in Wuhan
This is what allowed the virus to spread across the globe. Because the Chinese Communist Party was pretending that there was little to be concerned about, Wuhan was a porous purveyor of the virus. The government only instituted a lockdown in Wuhan on January 23-seven weeks after the virus first appeared.
@celtic barbarian U do know that japan took over hong kong then gave it back to the british meaning the do own the entier land,In the aftermath of the Japanese surrender, it was unclear whether the United Kingdom or the Republic of China would assume sovereignty of the territory. UK got the land from japan meaning its all British
I am stay at home , I never got bit.
Realy ENJOY IT
This is not a good unbiased report on the troubles of 2019, it focuses too much from the police’s perspective. We’ve lived it daily here in Hong Kong and I give this reporting a 4 out of 10.
truth hurts doesn't it? so the rioters never went out of control and tried to harm the police? they are lucky it not US otherwise half of the protesters would have been dead.
So you completely ignored what the police did on 612, 721, 811, 831, 101,1111........?The list goes on forever
Because by international standards none of those events are actually shocking. More people die from barfights in Sydney on a Saturday night than from months of rioting in HK. A cop beating may look shocking to you but the rest of the world has to deal with cops that openly shoot people dead for grams of weed, bad language or not paying a bribe, so in comparison HKers have it lucky.
You missed the fact that guns are legal in the US, and that this is a police force with weapons that could kill used on unarmed masses. They don't kill you, they beat you till you're crippled. If you're a teen girl, you get raped in jail by the police. And yet to this day, she had to have an abortion, while the cops that raped her are protected
Not paying a bribe? You're discribing a third world country. Hong Kong is an international city with first world country standards and a world economic zone side by side with London and New York.
@Mark Johnson Ye they are, but that is a good and bad thing. Right now it's a bad thing as the protesters know that they have a high chance of not getting shot
And Lam Chi Wai is also the very police from the low-rank police association who made an official statement in August to call protesters cockroaches.
More people need to see this
Jake Mahaney If 30% of doxing is against the police, what about the other 70%?
And yet Trump already threatened miltary action just 1 week after protest. The protesters should watch how US handle the protesters alike and judge for themselves what police brutality really means.
Im glad that cop = got to taste how the protesters felt
I used to like TVB dramas about HK police, not anymore.
Its not their fault, they're probably being brainwashed and forced to do these kind of things
@@Satoru1324 same applicable to those rioters
@@MrBlinder514 The rioters are the police.
duh who cares
I watch TVB dramas about police too. Now I really admire the HK police. Compared with American police HK police is so tame and restraint. Those thugs in HK were beating up people, burning properties, vandalising public utilities and committing treason. HK need US police to deal with them. Treason is a capital offence in America. It should be in HK too to safeguard HK. Hypocrisy in full display. Shame.
.
You can't expect a smooth transition on a city like HK from a fully grown democratic society to a communist society. With the hidden support from the west, and the ambition of Beijing, HK will never be the same again.
HK was never democratic. Leaders were imposed from UK
The HK Chief Executive is the main Culprit with her senseless and brainless political policy.
The brutal attacking of an police officer and ramming police lines with makeshift barricades were the tipping point for the use of TG wasn't adequately covered. It wasn't like it was all peaceful and the police fired TG into them..... Not to mention the bricks and metal rods thrown at police.
That police officer was surrounded and beaten by at least 10 people, how he only fired off ONE shot still baffles me.

Shhh, the protesters don't like people mythbusting their fabrications. I've gotten threats on FB for calling them out on their bullshxt.
These protesters don't represent HK people. I lived in HK under British rule, we were treated same as dogs and didn't have this much freedom like today. Lives are much better now. China has made HK prosperous over these years.
treated as dogs and no protest. Now treated by motherland and protest like mad dogs.

There is a virus and they want to protest!?
it's bad press, not necessarily saying documenting the protests are bad it's just that the violence receive more spotlight, if I were the police officers, I would do everything to gain the public's trust because it's what started this year long nightmare, POLICE SHOULD SHOW THAT THEY WILL LISTEN TO THE PUBLIC DO THINGS THAT WILL APPEASE THEM AS WELL AS TO MAINTAIN LAW OVER THE CITY, because doing a negative to another negative doesn't make it positive they are feeding fuel to the raging fire that is the populace's desire for a democratic system
I think the cops had been trying very hard to maintain rapport with the public during the widespread unrest. If you keep up with local news, every single violent incident the police will debrief in an open press conference, explaining what happened, why they made the decisions they did, the obstacles that they faced trying to execute the plans, etc.
The entire goal of widespread civil unrest is to embarrass the government into making concessions. There is no easy way out for the cops, who are legally bound to keep order and stop violence. With a scene as chaotic and widespread as Hong Kong's in 2019, I think they still did a respectable job, certainly better than many other forces would have done.
This feels heavily bias towards the police leaving out key details of the protestor side and portraying them as violent mobs even after the bill got shut down they only became violent after the police were violent and only increased their anger after police did so. This entire thing feels like propaganda
weeklyariana uh yeah I agree with you... idk what about my comment made you think otherwise
excuse me? they were extremely violent first. the police do what they are supposed to do and within the law. the police actually showed way more restraint than they should have probably because of the world spreading fake news .
its sad that HK became so bad...but anyhow you may protest, but end of the day the world knows that HK will go back to China. By then, all ur protests are also useless...majority of the residence there probably live a comfortable democratic life till they forget the truth. It may only be so long before it happen. Their protest has turn into the countries self destruction. really sad situation, but other countries in the world are far worst.
I disagree that HK is "bad," but I do agree that this "protest movement" lacks a clear, achievable strategy. Selling sob stories is not going to get you the change that you seek in Hong Kong. Creating your own oppression by going out and committing violence, is not going to gain anything for you, or for Hong Kong, or for anybody.
I think an alarming issue is how the existing police feels they have support of the citizens when many has already lost faith in them.
This is an unavoidable part of civil unrest, whose goal is usually to antagonise and embarrass the government into making concessions. As the situation in Hong Kong has stabilised somewhat, the police have gradually restored rapport with the community.
superb documentary , well done CNA
More to come in HKG protest 😎
Covid-19: hold my beer
maybe China release the coronavirus to stop the protest 🙃

Protesterslastyear
Very interesting program, life is seldom black and white
GangetFans It always makes me wonder why more than one million people came out to peaceful protest in the first place. The only way that stable middle class people come out to protest is if they are concerned about their children’s future. What concerns did these people have originally to come out en masse? I mean before all the violence started.
@@christinedowd1820 To answer your question, it's important to separate the early protests and the later riots. The early protests (note that the protesters themselves do NOT want to admit this as it de-legitimises them) actually accomplished their goal. After 1-2 million people rallied, the government cancelled a controversial legislation in June 2019. But some factions of the movement wanted more, and escalated into violent riots. Indeed, most of the protesters went home but the fringe elements began to play a game of cat-and-mouse with the police, in an effort to frustrate and embarrass the government into giving more concessions. They moved the goalposts with 5 more demands, some of which were subsequently met but again, the protesters claim otherwise. This escalated further and further until the violence boiled over. Most of the hardcore rioters barricaded themselves in several college campuses, starving into surrender in November 2019.
The nails in the coffin came two-fold, with Covid in January 2020 and China's new security laws in July 2020. This struck enough fear in the movement that it fell apart without any further violence.
Not incompetence but full on intent.

1903 hours sunday 26th july 2020 - Why shouldn't HK have police and LAW and ORDER ???
I used to sympathise the so called "peaceful protesters" until I viewed more videos and references made on many videos. This CNA production is certainly more supportive of the Rioters. The spark off in June was blaming the HK Police for being brutal, please check what happened to the LECO building on that day. What had happened there was not even mentioned and viewers will feel that HK Police just went berserk and starts hitting rioters? Also why the policeman fired the shot to one of the rioters on 1st October? One policeman was ambushed by a group of rioters with hammers. iron rods and other weapons that could kill a person. But all these were not mentioned. IS CNA trying to glorify the rioters by not showing the other truth?
''peaceful protester'' is a joke, what are you talking about... i always have pity for peoples who waste their own conviction fighting in a peaceful manner... nothing changes in a peaceful manner... the system is make that way, make sense right...
the problem is when the very few (1%) take advantage of that system the last 99% are left with only two way :up or down....
not everyone is capable of going down and comply to a forced direction... this is call Nature, and that's what you should admire and sympathize with...
I stopped supporting the protests when they turned violent. This happened when the Extradition Bill was suspended and eventually completely cancelled. The massive protests were done, but the bad actors were left high and dry without anything to do. So they hijacked the movement and started to bully the cops.
@@joseph-mariopelerin7028 wtf u talking about?
@sneeky things oh... I’m talking about the life we all live in...
The terms between Britain & China were for Hong Kong to come under full Chinese control in 2047. Until then, Hong Kong is to remain a Special Administrative Region practicising the "One Country, Two Systems" Policy. However, since the Chinese Government is so willing to take control of the place quickly, breaching the terms of their agreement with Britain, just as they had broken international law in so many places, I hope the Brits would actually really consider breaching their side of the agreement & become more involved in HK-CN relations or even retake Hong Kong if deemed necessary.

Where's a good ole coup when you need one?
Saul Goodmang none. All cops have to follow orders from their commanders.
Nobody wants an armed revolution in Hong Kong. Not even the protesters. That's why they were content with their sticks-and-bricks game.
You must think that your husband may lose his job if he protested and who will pay for your food on the table.... also, living is more important than losing everything. What happens to the protesters, are they living well? Are they becoming richer by revolting....
I think the HK government should listen to their citizens since they are technically supposed to be a democracy. The extradition bill was a way for the CCP to infringe on the freedom of speech of Hong Kong people and the first crucial step to gaining more influence over Hong Kong. There are many reasons why Hong Kongers do not want mainland China to encroach on their determined political system. Mainly because HK wouldn't be the same place it used to be. HK has its own identity, culture and views on the world which do not at all align with the one of main landers that are following the propaganda narrative of the CCP. When the extradition bill hit and the HK government was not responding to the peaceful protests, young people that want a future and don't only care about money (where good relations with the CCP really helps) thought that something had to be done. So they started blocking roads and important infrastructure as an attempt to make the government listen to them and meet their demands. Because neither the CCP or the HK government wanted the economy to take such a drastic hit, they responded with police force instead of accepting the protectors demands since the CCP is to eager for that influence. IT IS NOT THE POLICES OR PROTESTERS FAULT THIS CHAOS HAPPENED BUT THE PRO CCP GOVERNMENT. Eventually though the government decided to withdraw the extradition bill since they were aware that the protesters weren't going to stop anytime soon otherwise. The problem here is that the withdrawal was too late, as the protesters got to see how flawed their government is and continued the road blocks which made things escalate. The protesters know that what is happening isn't good for the city but they know halting the economy is the only way to make their government reconsider things.
Don't get me wrong, i know that violence isn't justified in any way, shape or form. Neither is vandalism. But don't forget that violence and ruining the city wasn't the protesters goal, but the bad organization of the government let it escalate to that point. It is the police's and government's responsibility to listen to their citizens and keep them safe and they failed to do so because of their political and economical incentives.
Nonsenses!
@@jagdpanther2224 50+ million died under mao zedong still he has a pic of him in bejing
If the government aceeds to every single demand set by the protesters then there will be never ending protests in HK. This is the precedence that the HK gov do not want to set. and the 5 demands are just absolutely rubbish. Even after the extradition bill was withdrawn, why did the protest went on? why did the pro democracy especially claudia mo incite hatred and violence?
Do note that the pro democracy camp had NEVER and i repeat NEVER once condemned the violence brought forth by the protesters. This protest is just the pro democracy politician's agenda to grab power by trying to destroy the government and further down the road they are going to seek independence. That;s why they seek USA's help.

Senior people collect rubbish for living, live in cages. The young generation is not as resilient as their parents. But protest won't solve problems. The super-rich will move to the west or Singapore, the Chinese super-rich will take over. Good luck to the people who live on the bottom.
Britain could and should do more. We have a moral responsibility to the people of Hong Kong and are the only one with a legitimate right to stick our proverbial nose in as the 1984 Sino British Joint Declaration is not being adhered to.
But they haven’t which buggers me. Like merica be making moves when they have no claim but the brits are super quiet for some reason
Police brutality is same as pornography. Easily recognized
God seeing the man with the knee on his head god smh
Just like George Floyd hey
What can I say, shouldn't have been rioting and throwing bricks at the cops.

@Hello World. Maybe from my observations, the housing problem in Hong Kong isn't simply about they have the the seat or not. But one of the major income of government is selling land, that why the the flat is unaffordable, and a "small government big" market. But the government have push out some measures in building house but somehow is oppose by "someone" due to the environment, capital or other problems(just excuses).
The subject you said should be Liberal Study. The textbook is only giving the students the general concept or framework even thought many calms it fully affect the students' mindset. I think the major reason is social media among students in Hong Kong. Most of them are followingthe pro democracy pages and maybe peer pressure, other follow. These are just from observations or other articles. May not be fully correct.
@Hello World. It is really called Liberal Study in HK. You can check on HKEAA which is the public exam authority in HK. LS is in the core subject of HKDSE
I also agree that government should put more effort in controlling the price of no matter houses or necessaries. Maybe referring to Singapore's public housing policy which ironically Singapore referred to hk's one 80's. Unfortunately the power of gov in HK in not as strong as Singapore's. Finding lands is the most challenging part. Reclamation is objected (like Lantaw tomorrow vision because some local citizen claim that it will spend all the money of gov, but not going to discuss more at here), periphery of country side is objected, renovation is objected. How can government build more to control price? And that's how the name of "small government big market" comes. That good idea to review the policy with Disneyland.
@Hello World. Hoping that HKSAR can find the way to redress the balance between capital and citizen. Hoping that HK can one day get out of this chaos
they became politic tools :'(
It'll be as if another country's government asked the army to act against protest but the army itself stated that they won't be mobilized against the people. In this case for HK, the police don't really have a choice (unless they quit or hold high enough position to make the change)
Salute to Ms Cathy Yau. I do not necessary agree or disagree with the police actions but for her to have the courage and determination to quit her job amidst such chaos and uncertain environment deserves recognition and accolade. Good luck to her!
is not that 31%?!
This would not happen in the west the police would have dealt with it quickly
with the use of batons and guns all over in a day
When the public is polite and obey the law the police will.
When the public is polite and obey, the police still beating you. Go see what happened in MTR station on 31 August.
@@johnnychim4892 I watched it. It's ALWAYS somebody on the protester side ignoring instructions, arguing with and assaulting the cops and causing the police to escalate.
The city is done....
police escalated first so they lost the respect of the ppl - the people wont stay put and retaliate and take the offensive - both sides will continue to escalate
Maybe the police did not escalate first, with all the other suggestions of CCP input and behind the scenes ulterior motives perhaps it is the CCP who escalated it and made it appear the police were at fault. Anything is possible to make others look bad after all people's names, addresses, DOB, work, mobile numbers were leaked so anything is possible.
I understand that there might be cherry picking as the professor said, but I'm just curious why that protestor from 34:03 is covered in blood. Like, isn't that not suppose to happen in the first place?
I guess this was the clash between protesters and the triads they didn't want the protesters burn their neighbourhood as announced and fought back. th-cam.com/video/k0HWbpY8ul4/w-d-xo.html also explained by Daniel but there are more sources. Best example of cherry picking is the police shooting a protester. Our news outlets just don't report how it comes to that. The policeman got beaten up by 3 with metal bars and they went for his gun. He had to protect other bystanders and himself. th-cam.com/video/PN4MvOrPotk/w-d-xo.html CNA Singapur provides some rare pictures. Western media would rarely show.

why are these people saying the police are the good guys?
Cna is usually neutral, it's more of a story of good and bad, cops and robbers. They've go back and forth in this, but it did lean bias to the cops. What they missed was Chinese army integration into Hong Kong police and Chinese police dressed as gangsters in the under ground beatings at the train station. If you watche carefully you will notice their stance, it's a stance used by trained riot police and usually national guards to submit rioters.
"they no longer seem to be the protectors of taxpayers and citizens"
they never were, buddy, they never were
why this video not tell the truth of those rioters burnt middle aged man alive because he has different opinion? WTF
There is always a story on both sides. You may disagree with their story but you have to respect it.
I don't doubt that individual officers went out of line and lost control. But in the face of widespread civil unrest, the HK cops did a pretty respectable job relative to other countries.
Well, I don’t feel sorry for the cops here. They started the escalation with a brutal crackdown on an angry population. What do you expect when you poke a bear or a beehive? Kisses?
As a HKer working in the US and keenly interested in the 2019 unrest, I saw the complete opposite on news footage and FB livestreams. The protest movement of 2019 got concessions from the government when they were peaceful rallies. Then they wanted more, and played a bigger, more violent game, until they finally played themselves and bit off more than they could chew.
yeh nah the police are the heros and the rioters are the villain case closed. already proven. stop the delusions its cringy
in 2014, Hong Kong protestors did not use violent methods even once, they opened their umbrellas for the police during heavy rain so that the police on duty don't catch a cold but in the end HK police just violently put them down and the demand for universal suffrage did not get fulfilled. it was a failed movement.
In 2019, they started out as peaceful once again but police immediately used violence in June, protestors realized that violence was the only way forward, so they used violence, HK police did not expect whole HK to be united against them, in the end, the demand got fulfilled(the extradition bill to be cancelled)
when you live under a government that uses oppressive means to quell your freedom then peaceful methods don't work, only violence works. Fun fact, HK Government cannot do anything without the approval of the China communist party.
a puppet dancing the way the master pulls the strings.
what a pack of lies. The live streams that day clearly showed the protesters started the violence first. They were seen coming prepared with cling films and hard hats and bricks. They were ready to rush into the legco and fortunately the police there at that time managed to hold them back, if not many would had died. It was a coordinated attack by the protesters.
Hoonz Tookoong do you live in Hong Kong? Did you attend the protests? No? Ok then you may leave now. I haven’t lied about anything. Go do some research and visit Hong Kong before judging. Yes I agree, this year the protests were extremely violent but it was for the greater good. Remember when china abducted Hong Kong booksellers because their views conflicted with the CCP. Yeah I didn’t think you’d know about that. Do some research. This is why Hong Kongers protested against extradition bill. To avoid letting china abuse the system. Also fun fact, majority of HK police dressed as protestors were encouraging violence to defame protestors. During the legco storming in 2019, it began in the afternoon and lasted from 1pm all the way to 11pm. The police and the government allowed legco to be seized to hopefully make the protestors lose public support but it backfired and encouraged more youth instead to take to the streets.
@@TheMutedVid violence for the greater good? lol. You mean the pan dems practicing extreme partisan politics to condemn and encourage violence towards others that don';t agree with them?
Your version of events are so wrong lol. Multiple live streams had caught the protesters starting the violence first.
And then when you cannot dispute that then resort to wild theories that undercover police encouraged the violence and police allowed the storming of legco lol!
you have evidence that majority of HK police are undercover that day?
Calling you out for all you lies here. HK is heading towards civil war and genocide and you people are supporting this.
Greater good my ass.
Yeah.... NO. I've extensively examined the tons and tons of footage of the HK unrest. The vast majority of violent incidents were started by the protesters and rioters.
You can always argue whether that extra clubbing on the part of this or that riot cop was warranted. Or when exactly this rioter or that rioter stopped resisting arrest. But on the whole, they were VERY restrained in handling the unrest.
It's funny how the protesters keep painting a picture of oppression, when they are out there creating it for themselves. It's literally their own self-fulfilling prophecy, selling for sympathy.
Police in Hong Kong are very gentle when compared with their US counterparts .......
the craziest part of this video was getting to the end and fully realising that this was supposed to be the police's victimisation statement... and... it was entirely ineffectual in that regard. i spent the entire video thinking '... well... why dont they quit being police officers if they dont like being targetted and treated the way police target innocent civilians?' like do they not comprehend that trust has been 'shaken' [see: 'obliterated'] because theyve ratcheted up the violence in suppressing the citizens' natural instinct to protest their decreasing standards of living and life?
tl;dr - the police should just quit their jobs if they dont like being held personally accountable for their personal decisions [one of which is deciding to be a cop]
You're literally parroting the protesters' lines that the police "target innocent civilians." The message I got from watching the gratuitous footage of chaos *just in this video*, is demonstrating the complete opposite. The police were being overwhelmed by mob rule in 2019, and had to resort to heavy-handed riot control to maintain order.
It's a common tactic for protesters to claim that they were "innocent bystanders" when they got caught. In the middle of the night. At the scene of a riot. After trying to run from the cops.
My take is that these rioters thought they had the numbers, and were not expecting to get caught. They spent months screaming "oppression" and it looks like they've finally found it. Their destruction has been quite widespread, and although I work outside of Hong Kong, I have seen the damage they have caused in my neighbourhood--if they want to call that "freedom," they can take that freedom and shove it where the sun don't shine.
@@canto_v12 'overwhelmed by mob rule in 2019' is the key part of your statement that you should reflect upon. hong kongers have an extremely long history of civil obedience and respect for the law. the protests of 2019 did not just spring up out of nowhere - it is the (as i previously stated) citizens' natural instinct to protest their decreasing standards of living -- decreasing standards of living that are being facilitated by governmental interference from the chinese communist party and, crucially, *the corrupt police officers* who are implementing mainland china's brutal suppression of hong kongs independent government of their own free will.
every man and every woman has the right to fight against people who would do that to them. it's that or live as slaves.
@@SabrinskySoIntense The scene where the protester Tsang Chi-kin was shot with a live round, is an example of my reference to "mob rule." A group of "protesters" ambushed a pair of patrolling officers. This is all on video. Among his group, Tsang is seen striking the officer's arm with a weapon as the gun fires. There is no ambiguity about this event--the uncut video follows the group as it approaches and ambushes the officers.
Please do not confuse these anarchists to the peaceful protesters of earlier in 2019, who achieved their goal without fighting the cops.
@@canto_v12 the escalation is the natural development of what happens when citizens' rights and standards of living are decreasing. it is human nature - and it is righteous.
if the police want to see a change - they have to make a change. they can start with demilitarising and standing aside when hong kongers protests beijings mistreatment and violent encroachment of their freedoms and rights. returning their focus to eradicating triads ought to be their primary goal in securing a peaceful hong kong for hong kongers -- let the chinese communist party send in their troops if they want to launch violent suppression on democracy. for as long as the hong kong police choose to carry out the actions of beijing, they will be held accountable for their dereliction of duty - by whatever means the citizenry has left to them.
@@SabrinskySoIntense that’s cool if you think it’s the police’s job to sympathise with an ideological struggle. I view them as an apolitical law enforcement tool. They are there to enforce the laws, as written-deviating from that will be a steep, slippery slope into fascism. Not asking you to agree-just my two cents as someone who has seen too many countries fall into chaos because the cops and/or the military became politically involved. I have too much attachment to Hong Kong to support the politicisation of law enforcement.
As for living standard, I think you mean to say that Hong Kong’s living standard has risen too much, such that the working class struggle to survive. That is a vestige of colonial capitalism, creating property developers who are tied by the exorbitant land prices that they are forced to build on. The government does this to maintain its low-tax laissez faire business environment. Sure, I agree that it’s on HK to fix that and not Britain or China, but I just wanted to be clear that China did not cause this.
I'm not a Christian, but I'm telling you what I think is important now because of the strange series of experiences that the facts are stranger than novels.
I feel like Hong Kong and China are in a dispute that they don't realize something very important.

Lmao the IPCC sounds useless. That cop saying that people can express their complaints either doesn’t understand this, doesn’t care, or he actually has it out for the protestors. These protestors seem to me to be fighting for their freedom, for their rights, and for justice. Some go overboard, yes. Some are violent and should be charged, but the vast majority are fighting for a just cause. They resort to their tactics because they are desperate. You cannot fight desperation. When people are desperate, they will do anything. That is why I don’t see a peaceful end to this without China removing all influence from Hong Kong, and police being charged for their assault on people.
The protesters can't name a single constitutional right that they were fighting for in 2019. Actually I have a good theory on what they were fighting for: A sense of belonging, which their rigid academic families and schools failed to give, and which the protest movement offered.
As for the right to vote, the Hong Kong government actually proposed several rounds of electoral reform, but the biggest package (including a democratic election for the Chief Executive) was actually voted down in 2015 by the "pro-democracy" bloc. In that respect, Hong Kong only has itself to blame.
As for justice, bad cops are constantly being prosecuted in Hong Kong. All it takes is a glance at daily local news, but of course the protesters are loath to admit that.
If Hong Kong is gonna stay like this, might as well put it on the list with Detroit and NK
Now, where's Jackie Chan ranting and disgust to the people of Hongkong for doing a protest to HK government. Say something now my idol Jackie of what the Chinese have done globally. Where are the Chinese people in HK that was so angry with the HKongers? Say something now Carrie Lam you have been vindictive to your own people.
What went wrong is the CCP involvement of total enforcement.
The wives of the officers have slowly left them too. Pretty much says everything about the officers
Have you even watched the video? Or are you so stuck in your narrative that police officers are evil scary monsters under the bed that you lack the basic decency to empathize like a normal human being
And many of the parents of the rioters have kicked them out of their home and disowned them

Hong Kong GO GO GO! Pride of all the protesters!
Honestly speaking.... The day they 'returned' back to China in 1997, the fate of HK is pretty much sealed... They should have opted for independence then. Sigh..
Isn't the day they returned back to china the day they got to be democratic? Because Britain never gave them the right to vote no?

@@flinch80s True. It's just growing up in Canada something just made me think that china was this poor uptight country where everything was regulated but the police. Sometimes I think people really need to judge for themselves instead of relying too much on outside information. Same goes for practically anything, like phones, style idk. Just people seem to often forget that when it comes to countries.
How would "liberate Hong Kong" feel in other countries? i.e. liberate wester countries. This is a wrong signal. During the riots, there is no way to separate the violence from rioters or passers by. Smart people would be stay in the scene.
The whole thing was a lack of organisation, a lack of goal-setting ("5 demands" is too vague and anarchic) and a lack of skill to negotiate and compromise.

I am just watching and I can feel their pain their is a whole protest and they have to deal with corona if they even have it (not sure) but I think the police are way to brutal if the police just listened none of this would have happened
It's a 50/50 situation. The HK Police are in the wrong about the brutality and everything they've done. But the doxxing isn't exactly the best thing to do. While yes it's now mainly about fighting back against the CCP which I support im not so sure about the doxxing.
Venom I mean it takes what it takes if it's the only way to get rid of the police and put fear in them then yes it is right
no the police were not brutal. they were showing too much restraint.
more people need to see material with viewpoint from both sides and stop the vicious cycle of hatred. stop cherry picking your evidence to protagonize/antagonize either side. im not supportive of the police's actions but a lot of them have heavy debt burden (mostly mortgages) that they can't afford to pay off if they quit their jobs and not listen to the higher up commands. like Mr. Elm said (retired police in the interview), a lot of them were doing what they did for survival. but there're also a number of rogue police that just lost their minds and had no remorse on violence. #worldpeace
