Hi everyone in steem greetings to you all. It has been a long time updating you with World unrest news, and I believe you're going to love this news too.
Over long been absent in this news update, though, I've been following many news updates in relation to protests going on in the World, especially Hong Kong which for the past 1 month I've been following their News update on Hong Kong Free Press(HKFP). I gathered some little investigations about police actions & inactions on protesters in Hong Kong which for my opinion it is unfair treatment on the the part of Hong Kong police. The fact of this survey that I carried out is clear that most of the arrest cases that are handled by the police are based on suspicion but not on concrete evidence.
We can retrace some of the protesters that Hong Kong police have arrested and detained for the past seven months till date, most of the protesters that the police allege them to be the culcript of many incidences which had happened are just a falsehood charges. We can gather news updates on issues relating to arrest by the police to know that most protesters did not deserve to be arrested, meanwhile the police have arrested them.
For my opinion it's either the police and most anti-protesters have certain perceptions that protesters are the most violent people in the city, so any social vices or crimes that transpire are caused by them, which is not always true. Having this perception that the police have psychologically developed in their minds, they feel reluctant to convey thorough investigation before passing on judgements. Due to this situation, many protesters have wrongly been arrested with no concrete evidence.
I see this as a menace that would pose to the police and protesters, if always police arrest should base on suspicion, but not on concrete evidence. Meanwhile, the main task for the police on the grounds riot or criminal offenses is to carry out thorough investigation before arresting the culprit, or more cleaver sense, if the alleged person is arrested conduct an immediate investingation in relation to the matter so that if the person is innocent of the case he would discharged. Why is that an innocent protester fight for his human right and justice be detained just because the police suspect him for some offenses which he never did. And that is my worry on the part of the Hong Kong police actions and inactions over the past months of many arrest cases.
Though, I'm not here to teach what the police should do, & I don't know the extent the police carry out their investigation before arresting people they suspect them to have committed crime. But, I think when you arrest some people that you suspect to have been making weapon, there are certain things you should gather before arresting them. Something like the test substance that shows that it is weapon. Do the police have an electronic machine that is able to detect the kind of weapon? What exactly did the suspected people doing at that shows that they were making weapon, were they carrying out the sample of wrapons which has been manufactured? I think the perceptions that the police were having on the arrest people that they were making weapons to attack the police is something that I don't concor, simply because there was no concrete evidence that were gathered, moreover, there was no videos showing the plans that these four arrested suspected people who were making homemade bombs. What really shows the sunstance they defused, suspected to carry out some explosive weapon is true? The police need to investigate thoroughly in such issue of that matter.HKFP
