Danzmocrazy – 5 Demands Not One Less
A group of Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST) alumni have crafted a video that uses dance to tell the story of the protests so far…
The dancers come from different industries and are among the anonymous millions who have worked to ensure Hong Kong has continued to be one of the world’s greatest cities – despite the incompetent and corrupt leaders foisted upon the SAR by Beijing.
As one dancer puts it “Not only we all have stayed in Hong Kong, we also have [a] strong will in making our city great again”.
‘In 2019, we are all awakened from our usual lives. Our city, our identity, our culture & values, our freedom are being nibbled by the regime. Time has chosen us and it is time for Hong Kong people to stand and safeguard our city. We wish to use our passion in dancing and in our city to reunite everyone and to invite the world to stand with Hong Kong, fight for Hong Kong against absolute power and authority.”

In Hong Kong Crackdown, Police Repeatedly Broke Their Own Rules — and Faced No Consequences
Leaked law-enforcement manuals contain guidelines often ignored in confrontations with protesters.
As violence escalated in Hong Kong over recent months, senior officials repeatedly ruled out a full inquiry into increasingly aggressive police tactics toward pro-democracy demonstrators.
Independent scrutiny would be an “injustice” and a “tool for inciting hatred” against the force, commissioner Chris Tang said recently, echoing the refusal of Carrie Lam, the city’s Beijing-appointed leader, to meet one of protesters’ key demands. A police spokesman emphasized that the force is adhering to “strict” guidelines in policing the protests, “benchmarked against international standards.”
A review of more than 100 pages of police guidelines and training manuals obtained by The Washington Post details these protocols surrounding use of force. The guidelines, however, were often ignored by police, who have misused chemical agents and used excessive force against protesters not resisting, according to experts in policing who examined dozens of incidents in consultation with Post journalists and in comparison with the police protocols.

Undercover Cop, Denies He is Police, Then Launches Unprovoked Baton Attack
A caucasian (permanent?) Hong Kong resident has been arrested and charged with assaulting police… The alleged policeman was undercover/ in plainclothes and clearly said “No” when asked “Are you Popo?”
Then the ‘policeman’ attacked the man with an extensible baton for no obvious reason and repeatedly refused to produce his warrant card.
This incident looks to be where we find out if Hong Kong still has an independent judiciary who will hold the police accountable. Or are men who claim to be police allowed to assault and attack anyone.
