Exactly.Well, I posted about this three years ago, so again, I hardly saw any police when I was there. On one occasion, I did see a large group of police, next to a coach on the outskirts of the city centre. They were clearly on stand-by in case of disorder. Kind of like police at a big football match... they were there if needed. They certainly were not 'in your face' or being aggressive. They were staying low-key in the central area so as not to be provocative.
What I did see everywhere was evidence of widespread criminal damage and violent disorder... paving stones and street railings were ripped up to be used as weapons. Traffic lights were ripped down. Underground stations were vandalised. Most troubling was the evidence of arson attacks at the entrance and within underground stations... arson attacks within an underground station is potentially a massive disaster and loss of life.
Guess what, police take an interest in widespread public disorder. Sorry if the truth disgusts you.
FYI, Hong Kong is one of the safest major cities in the world. Why? They are effective on strong law and order. I would swap their police for ours every day of the week.
Will the media they read reported these kind of news to them…plenty of video can still be found on yt regarding the rioters’ atrocity.
