Means attacking a police officer such as
Zhuo Xiaoye also described the feeling that the demonstrators were hostile to police officers on the same day, saying that attacks on police officers felt "grassing people's lives", including the use of bows and arrows, police officers being wounded, and the use of petrol bombs on armored vehicles. The number is inestimable, and it refers to the weapons that PolyU has seen the most since it joined the police force. "We have never seen a weapon designed to be frustrating." This includes iron nails on oil gas tanks. Zhuo claims that what made him the most memorable incident was a policewoman surrounded by more than 100 demonstrators and smashing bricks while sending a female arrested person to an ambulance. I found out that there might be a problem with the aircraft. I did n’t hear you and I heard you, and I heard that I ’m saving lives. ”Zhuo pointed out that the firefighters provided the location of the ambulance before they could send someone to rescue the policewoman.
Disagreement is a humanitarian disaster
Zhuo Xiaoye pointed out that the police ’s strategy in the incident was to hope for a peaceful solution to the incident. “Weapon ca n’t be lowered than the weapon. You need to jump the bridge and do n’t need to donate burrows.” Zhuo Xiaoye said that during the incident, PolyU More than 800 people were arrested, about 324 were under the age of 18 who left after registration, and more than 400 had medical needs to be sent to the hospital after registration. No one was temporarily arrested among registered minors. "It may be the most meaningful and most worthwhile thing to do to leave 324 young people out of dangerous places and return home safely." Zhuo Xiaoye disagreed that the encirclement of PolyU was alleged to constitute a "humane disaster." "Some people want to leave, leave? No, are some people with medical needs? Can't you provide them?" The net is to leave without consequences. It is a matter of humanity, humanity, and the rule of law. "Zhuo also said that if the university is allowed to be destroyed and the Red Tunnel is allowed to" run out, "it is a disaster of the rule of law and a disaster of the wisdom of the people. It is no different than that, "Tear gas canals cause environmental disasters, so we breathe and cause air pollution."

Saying sabotage and attack are worse than triads
During the half year of anti-revision demonstrations, Zhuo Xiaoye pointed out that he had subverted his belief in the police for 37 years in the past six months. "Before, I learned the rule of law, and at the least there is law to follow. Seniors should talk about rule by law, and the highest level of rule of law is law. Dayi, I have never heard of illegality. Zhuo Xiaoye said that since August, the demonstrators have destroyed the traffic lights, "there are real people living in the community who are living alive", and since October, shops and Chinese-owned groups have been destroyed. The sign, which requires people to join the economic circle, is different from triad activities? Maybe worse than triads, "and criticizes some people for beautifying and sabotaging, referring to" decoration and whitewashing, "and believes that sabotage cannot be compared with the five they refer to. Ask for a relationship. He also pointed out that he had worked in anti-triad work for many years. At present, the so-called "private" acts are lynching and assaults, and some of the assaults are extremely ruthless. "Frankly, sometimes when I see a triad, I do n’t want to hit old and weak people. I do n’t care. To beautify the melancholy society, but at least I will not play first. "
Increased number of police deployed to cope with demonstrations
In response to anti-revision demonstrations, Zhuo Xiaoye acknowledged that the police had deployed a lot of police forces. The number of crimes such as burglary and robbery has increased in recent months, including in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon City, To Kwa Wan and some other areas. "Three No Buildings", coupled with a reduction in police patrols, he estimated that crime figures in some areas had increased by nearly 50% compared with the previous three months. Zhuo Xiaoye believes that in the past economic reversal environment, crimes of "quick money" will increase. At present, the police try to allocate resources as much as possible, including the reduction of some civilian jobs, support work, and the mobilization of manpower for the types of cases required by the main force, and analysis of burglary. The distribution of such cases was carried out in ambush.
