[#HKpolice, the Ministry of Truth of 21st century’s #HongKong]
1/ For the first time, #HKPolice attended #UN Human Rights Commission recently after civilians, journalists, elderly, pregnant women & #HKProtesters were forcibly & unreasonably shot, beaten & tortured by them.
2/ More ridiculously, when 2 million #HKers, one-fourth of city population demonstrated for democracy, #hkpolice called them “mobs.” When over 80% of citizens criticized police for escalating forces in a poll, #HKPolice called them as "extorted their demands from the government.”
3/ Leaked police manuals have already shown police’s excessive & disproportional use of forces against unarmed civilians. #Policebrutality was also well caught by international media & slammed by human rights groups. But #HKPolice just arrogantly dismissed them as liars & fools.
4/ Over 9 months since the outbreak, zero police officer has been charged for his misconduct. They now claimed all these apparent violations of interactions and excessive use of forces is “lawful and reasonable.”
5/ When such Orwellian doublespeak by #hkpolice becomes ubiquitous, #Hongkong is further turned into another city in #China. With police violence prevailing, #Hongkong is now trimming to 1 country 1.5 systems.
