7th August 2019 – (Hong Kong) Affected by violent protestors in the past few days in particular on 5th August, many units of the Wong Tai Sin Disciplined Services Quarters occupied by police and their family members were extensively damaged. Police released a latest video at 3pm on their Facebook today to show the devastated state of their homes.
In the video, the narrator explained that children were traumatised after bricks, eggs and objects were hurled at their units shattering the windows. Exterior walls were written with intimidating messages including ‘threat to kill the families of police officers’. Many kids told their fathers who are police officers that they were scared to go home after the incident.
Seeing the home damage, an inhabitant of the dormitory was left feeling utterly helpless. At the end of the video, police pleaded with fellow Hong Kongers not to continue with these reckless actions.
