Hong Kong has been embroiled by more than seven months of turmoil sparked by a now withdrawn extradition bill that would have allowed individuals to be sent to China for trial

The youth-led protests, including mass marches, petrol bomb attacks and battles on university campuses, have since morphed into a broader revolt against authorities and strong-arm Chinese rule.Hong Kong returned from British to Chinese rule in 1997 with sweeping promises of a high degree of autonomy and freedoms. But the perceived failure of Beijing to honour these commitments has fuelled the protests, posing a grave challenge to Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

Yuen Long district councillor Tommy Cheung, who has helped set up a task force to probe the attack, said none of the 37 men arrested so far, some with organized criminal gang backgrounds, had yet seen their cases go to trial. “They always have excuses, and justify everything they do as right,” said Liu, who was dressed in a grey hoodie while listening as riot police surrounded the area. “It’s really unfair how twisted and biased law enforcement has become.”More than 7,000 protesters have been arrested in connection with the protests so far, including nearly 1,000 who have been charged. Police dispersed the protesters on Tuesday with pepper spray and made several arrests during a faceoff in a nearby park.

Despite the backlash against Beijing, there are few signs of Beijing heeding demands for democracy and respect for the freedoms guaranteed at the handover.

Good on them, by the way. I'd say leave Taiwan out of the feud between China and USA. After all, it's China that fucked up wanting to continue a feud with the notorious egomaniacal bully named Donald J. Trump. Even Xi Jinping is scared.

HKPoliceTerrorism Police in cahoots with the triads

That is because the Hong Kong police and the mobs are on the same side. StandWithHongKong HongKongProtests HongKong

Hong Kongers will never forget. Until now many injured haven't recovered, physically & mentally. The police never apologize for late coming after 39 min.Even foreigners know this would say it's difficult not to think the HKPolice is the planner of this incident. HKPoliceState

wwHKer Not only denounce police inaction, is to request independent inquiry on police COOPERATION with thugs HKPoliceTerrorists HKPoliceState

Hong Kongers would never forget the Jul 21 incident and how Hong Kong police worked together with mobs to attack civilians indiscriminately. And 6 months gone, still only a few of the mobs got arrested even though their face have shown clearly in the livestreams.

after mobPLUSpolice attack

It has been half year; how many of the 7.21 attackers have been arrested? Not much tho. The video clearly show the white one attack everyone in the MTR station. No HongKongPolice is trying to stop. Is PK Tang accountable for this operation. A big YES.

SummerInSmokeHK When HKPoliceTerrorists 👇🏻turned away albeit the lobby was full of thugs; when they shut down police stations, hung emergency calls and disappeared; when they chit-chatted with armed thugs without making arrests We know it was a point of no return, and they have never returned

We’ll never forget 721YuenLongAttack. It’s the day we know HKPoliceTerrorists has completely lost the function of protecting civilians but cooperating with the pro-chinazi thugs for the terrorist attack instead. fightforfreedom standforHk 5demandsnot1less 手足互科

Yuen Long 721 terrorists attack by pro-Beijing mobs is a forever burn mark of HK ppl, a forever blemish of HKPoliceTerrorists and a forever stain of Yuen Long local ppl. Never forget, never forgive.

Never forget and never forgive 🙅🏻‍♀️

Hongkong police is violent and unprofessional . They should be arrested. HongKongPoliceState

Serious problem in HK that thugs and police are collaborating together! The most worrisome thing is they have no punishment!

He is the hongkong police live at Yeun Long, his post show him he is a planner for the terrorist attack before 721, but end up now police it just arrest 6 thugs for a show, in that night police protect thugs to attack and left them to go, because the are the planner

Now become regular arrangement for MTR to suspend service on every 21th day of each month. Why?

YuenLongAttack revealed how Triad cooperates with HKPolice to fulfill dirty jobs assigned by Chinazi CCP grants FULL POLITICAL POWER to HKPoliceState to test limit of RuleOfLaw HKers need Independent Inquiry to unmask the truth, we need MagnitskyAct passed worldwide

Never forget Never forgive

Triads & police syndicate. Those Pro-Beijing triad mobs attacked citizens randomly, Hong Kong left the injured and said they didn’t see attack people. Disgraceful. policestate antichinazi

look this fool

HKpolice are allies of the gangsters. Condemn HKPoliceTerrorists!! HKPoliceState

I still feel furious when I think of 721 Yuen Long terrorist attack!

What happened on 21 Jul was totally violated what we learnt about consciences & justices. With video evidences, police still don’t arrest the mobs. However, Hong Kong police arrest students everyday without justified reasons!

After six months, still our government and police still haven’t give us a decent explanation of why they can’t stop such criminal while they have shown that they have such ability. HongKongPoliceBrutality 721YuenLongAttack HongKongPolice HongKongPoliceBrutality

Woowoow31880653 riot police walked with thugs shoulder by shoulder after the 721YuenLongAttack, and now HKPoliceTerrorists turned their weapon to the unarmed civilians again HongKongProtests StandWithHongKong

We see cooperation between HongKongPoliceTerrorists and the white mobs from 721YuenLongAttack. On that night, the cops arrived Yuen Long MTR Station 39 minutes late after receiving the emergency calls. Many innocents were beaten up brutally but none of the mobs were arrested.

There's no rule of law in Hong Kong anymore, the unfair law enforcement has ruined Hong Kong's rule of law entirely.

oh but the police has been very active HKPoliceTerrorism

Where’s the Canadians on this? I would’ve thought Canadians are kind enough to care about the two Michael’s betrayed illegally detained and tortured for months. Apparently not.

Since 721 2019, Yuen Kong became a country because police can’t protect the citizens who live in yuen long ! Also , police were escaped from that place , what is their duties! How can they live with a cruel mind! FreeHongKong

This video posted by NY times was taken by a journalist, it's a clip from her news broadcast live video. Even pregnant woman & elder got beaten up by the mob, and the HongKongPolice choose to walk away from the scene, refuse to listen 27000 emergency call

The actions of the police have made us lost all our confidence in them So many got injured, and so many more got traumatised How many gangsters need to bear the responsibility? How many police as well?

That’s the day of death of Hong Kong Police Force, and the become Xianggang ( the putonghua of Hong Kong) police force

Inaction means the police have certain degree of 'cooperative communication' with the gangsters. When the gangsters left, the police came. This was seen very obviously in many videos.

Never forget the collusion between HKPolice and the mob, supported by the HK Govt. Never forget the pain of the innocent citizens. HKPoliceTerrorism StandWithHongKong

never forget that hongkongpoliceterrorists said they cannot see any white-shirt gangster holding any weapon...

We will never forget 721. Hong Kong Police-gangsters collusion HKPoliceTerrorists

StandWithHongKong

HKPolice and underworld are WORK TOGETHER HKPoliceTerrorists HKPoliceState hkpolicebrutality soshk 🆘

oooo move On protestors! go get a life.

Instead of 'inaction', 'cooperation' should the better terms in describing the situation on 721. HKPoliceTerrorism hkpolicebrutality HKPoliceState

On 7.21 in Yuen Long, HKPolice deliberately came late in 39mins, ignore over 24,000 emergency calls and let the thugs attack the passengers! And HK go chooses to turn the eyes on! How ridiculous! HKPoliceTerrorism StandwithHK

No matter 6 Months or 6 Years or 60 Years, we will not forget this.

Chan Chi Cheung,👇, is still at large after 6 months. Various sources have pointed the person in the video is exactly Chan. However, I have never heard the pro-Police/pro-China people asking for a strict “law enforcement” regarding this terrorist attack.

The evil HK police continue to deny their problems and reject to be investigated by an independent inquiry body! If they can get away from bearing their responsibilities, it means that justice is dead in Hong Kong!

HongKongers never forget that day. 721YuenLongAttack

All HongKongers would never forget that night

Free Hong Kong FreeHK FreeHongKong StandWithHongKong

How could we forgot the PoliceBrutality

All the Hong Kong people can’t forget that night...

HKPolice just service for CCPChina 😡😡😡

HongKongPolice are the real mobs. HongKongPoliceBrutality HongKongPoliceState

I never forget that scene:2 police officers came. When they saw the mobs, they turned around and left. Another scene: riot police was seen chatting with the mobs.Emergency call service was shut down by police. Police station was closed. 721=Police in cahoots with gangs

‘We just want the truth’— Police force was well aware of the risk of violence from white-clad mob and did nothing to avert it on Jul 21. 721YuenLongAttack standwithhk

We need independent inquiry to reveal the truth and responsibility.

6 months already but we never receive any formal apology and even see improvements by Hong Kong police. It just keeps escalating its violence towards our innocents. They are part of the origins why so many citizens got PTSD. Urge more countries to sanction this China’s puppet!

That's the day awakening HKers , me too,and that's the day the credibility of HKPolice dropped to hell

That is the first time to show how HongKongPoliceTerrorism cooperate with the gangsters under the order from CCP to attack citizens in a railway station. That should be never forgot.

And this is what the HongKong police did on Jan21 - 6 months after the attack. They didn’t protect civilians, but backed the gangsters who launchced the attack.

Thank you for your attention to pro-democracy fighters & US standwithhk. Chinese community party dirty hand turn HK into HongKongPoliceState. 7.21 is a demo what mod + police .A quick sanction deters HK administrator, company, HK Police on foundation level.

Hong Kong is under HumanitarianCrisis and becomes PoliceState. Our young generation is slaughtered by own gov’t tgt with CCP manipulated in ‘black hand’ behind. Please join ABC_challenge tgt to minimise the economic profits of CCP. Don’t send bullet to CCP! BoycottChina

We will never forget. Never! Standwithhongkong HKers will never forget July 21's attack on civilians in Yuen Long station and police's choice to hide and close police stations. They only arrived at the scene in perfect timing as the mob retreated (still within cops sight)

Hong Kong people won't forget how HK police treated the citizens in 21July👇🏼 Half year passed,we still got no independent investigation/no apology from HKPF,don't even mention any punishment on their wrongdoings. So we must keep fighting for 5DemandsNot1Less to hv justice back.

We demand the truth and hold those responsible accountable! We need to see the mob serving some jail times!

In fact, the 721YuenLongAttack creator is HKpolice, they do nothing when the thug attack HongKongers, even encourage thug do better. There is evidence show that these thug maybe ordered by HKpolice, it is very terrible

We must not forgive the police who walk away.

Support HongKongProtesters and shame on HongKongPoliceTerrorists

When police and mob teamed up to attack citizens, I realized I’d become a protestor to get justice. Will not forget.

Not only had HKPolice failed to response on the 721YuenLongAttack on time, the police did not even make any arrest at the village where hundreds of attackers stayed. Officers even patted some of the attackers on their back as of they are friends.

HKPoliceState

Many take it as a sure sign that the CCP-HK govt was and still is behind the mob attacks and continuous assasinations!

A thread at the night of

It’s the turning point of the Hong Kong protest. No hongkonger should forget the 721YuenLongAttack and let Hong Kong police go unpunished.

Tons of evidence has revealed HKPoliceTerrorists and we stand still to redress it from 721, then 831, 612 and every single moment baton hit or tear gases fired. And not back down till the police force disbands.

721YuenLongAttack has etched into our memory no matter how HKPolice whitewashes it. The minute these 2 police turned and walked away, HKPolice were gone for good. All that's left are just HKPoliceTerrorists in a HKPoliceState.

We will never forget how HKPF let the mob armed with poles storm a subway station, attacked passengers, & arrived on scene 39 minutes later. It was then found out HKPF was in collaboration with the thugs. HKPF must be held accountable & Magnitsky sanctioned.

Why the authorities never learn. That just one more debt stack up on 721 issue. Every violent suppress from police just causing more people against them... No matter how much they try to smear protestor/protestor did sth wrong. The trust with police was collapsed on that day.

After 6 months, shameless HKPoliceTerrorists still did not dare to conduct the investigation.

This is Hong Kong now, no justice under law, pro-CCP can do anything Politics is above everything

Can't forgive it!!!!! 😠😠😠

The HKpolice's (in)action that night was unacceptable. It requires an independent commission of inquiry to formally hold the police to account - they must apologize to the victims & the people of Hong Kong.

The terrorist attacks of 721 was a turning point of the movement when the cooperation between HK police and triads was showed to the world. And now, the govt's still denied to start a independent investigation on the terrorist attacks.
