    Hong Kong police claim clearer videos show officers kicking a “yellow object”, not a man in a yellow shirt. They say the widely circulated footage is doctored. http://sc.mp/al2eq pic.twitter.com/A6Z5EkkvCZ

        Why would any police officer need to be kicking the “yellow object” in the first place? Were they angry & taking out their frustration on a road sign or traffic cone or something else? Not a good look for any professional police officer. HK Police used to have high standards!

        If the #HKPolice have a video clearer than the ones on @scmp and online then they should provide them. Because every video I’ve seen is unambiguous: they were kicking a man on the ground in their custody. #HKprotests

        What I don’t get is why - even if it were an object - they re kicking it - what purpose does kicking it serve?? - logic completely escapes me

        Please remind us, why do they kick yellow objects again? Oh yeah, because they are protesting.

        HK Police is digging a bigger hole for herself now. Whatever credibility she has is flushed down the drain soon. One must really question the intelligence of the leadership (forget about integrity, that’s confirmed non-existent now).
