The demonstrators and the police broke out with intense police and civilian conflicts. The police dispatched water guns and armored vehicles to disperse demonstrators. The demonstrators responded with petrol bombs and bows. During the operation of the Hong Kong Museum of History at Chatham Road South in Tsim Sha Tsui on the afternoon of November 17, a man suspected that a police officer on a mobile phone would be photographed and uploaded to social media. Police arrested a 43-year-old local man in Kwun Tong District this (22nd) afternoon for allegedly "obstructing police officers from performing their duties". It is understood that the arrested man is a staff member of the LCSD and the secret operation is a member of the Athlon team.
The police said that the case was followed up by the third team of the Crime Squad, District Crime Squad. It is understood that the operation was an ambush operation. The arrested person immediately revealed the photo and affected the deployment of the operation. The police officers were required to switch positions and were arrested by the police for obstruction of office work. Some criminal investigators pointed out that unlike the police, they were photographed on the street, and this time they were ambushing in a secret place. Therefore, there are more reasonable expectations for confidentiality.

Lawyer Huang Guotong said that the place where the police performed their duties was not necessarily a public place, or was carrying out secret missions. Men were shot publicly or exposed to police secret missions. Therefore, the incident was different from that of ordinary police officers shooting in public places, but he believed that There is a lot of room for discussion on how "photographing" can hinder the police from performing their duties. He said that the man involved may not know that he is performing specific duties on the other side. He admits that the incident or the police is intimidating. "When you have enough daring," he thinks that the chance of successful accusation is not big.
Huang Guotong is the candidate for the Taizi Constituency of the District Council. Other candidates in the same district include Ding Jianhua and Tan Jiewen.
