On October 1st, on the National Day of China, the Hong Kong opposition launched a series of demonstrations. Like the previous demonstration, it ended with violence.However, this time, there was finally a demonstrator who attacked the police played in Tsuen Wan, and it was a real gun.This is the first bomb of the wounded people who have started in Hong Kong four months since the so -called anti -repair example demonstration.The masked black man in the middle is a 18 -year -old student.
From the live video circulating on the Internet, we can see that a group of people holding sticks in black quickly rushed to a police officer who placed the order in the conflict for a while, trying to besiege him. At the moment, the police officer pulled the gun and attacked.For the person, a black man wielded his stick to the police officer's right hand, and the gun sounded. A man in the black man fell to the ground, and the rest of the same party immediately made birds and beasts.
From this scene, it is not difficult to see that the police officer fired at the critical moment to dispel the mob to keep his safety.Police from Hong Kong claimed that the shooting was reasonable, and the opposition ignored the facts and accused the police of using excessive violence. He questioned why he would not shoot the police first, why he was shot in the chest, and so on.In short, what is the crime of adding to the crime.
But this demonstration was not approved by the police, and it was illegal.The violence was impossible to attack the police and blatantly destroyed the rule of law.However, the voice of Hong Kong's opposition to violence is still very weak. It is obvious that the rationality of this society has been drowned, and the violence has permeated a great cicada effect, which makes many people dare not make a righteous voice.
The Minister of the Internal Affairs and Minister of Justice Shang Morgan made this observation during his speech at the Awards ceremony of the Minister of the Interior on September 30: Hong Kong police were originally known for discipline, professionalism, and effective, but after many weeks of turmoil, the police relationship relationshipIt has severely deteriorated.The criticism of the unfairness of the police affected people's views on the police and evolved into police and civilians.
One interpretation is that the opposition tried to create another June 4th Annmen incident in Hong Kong.Therefore, the Hong Kong police have adopted an extremely restrained attitude. In the face of the provocation of the mobs, they have repeatedly showed weaknesses. Even when the border people destroy public facilities such as subway stations, set fire around, paint the national emblem, tear the national flag, and enter the crazy destruction of the Legislative Council.Can't bear it.Of course, some people believe that the Hong Kong police should have a chaos in response to the mobs and loses evidence.
However, no matter what reason or consideration, the total result is to highlight the weakness of the police and cannot effectively treat the violent behavior that severely destroys social order. It cannot control the mob.In this case, mobs and demonstrations have become more and more mad, and the damage to the more violent performance is getting stronger.As someone is shot, it is foreseeable that opposition will make full use of forces and refuel the turmoil.
If we cut in from the perspective of the color revolution, we may be more reasonable to explain the behavior of the Hong Kong police.Through a series of incidents, the police responsible for maintaining social order and public security pushed the opposite of the public, and eventually collapsed the prestige of the police team and abolished the martial arts of the police (even the army).It is also a strategy adopted by Hong Kong against forces.
We can now clearly see that the opposition has achieved this purpose.The Hong Kong Police was not only made inside and outside, but it has also been reduced to the colorful white dog.With the upgrading of riots, the police to control the scene and maintain social order will gradually be weakened, and society may gradually lose order, and the rule of law will not guarantee.
There is no doubt that the morale of 30,000 police officers has also been hit, and the task for a long time is even more exhausted.No wonder the Hong Kong police officer Sae -level Association has been unable to hold back, urging the government to issue a curfew, or take measures based on the emergency law of the colonial era to give the Hong Kong police greater power to cope with the upgrading social turmoil.The Hong Kong Government has always adopted a defensive beating.Last Friday, the Chief Executive finally promulgated the ban on masses; but it was not enough to effectively deal with mobs.
At present, the phenomenon of all kinds of social disorder has appeared.For example, the thugs set fire off and destroy stores, banks, roads, and other public facilities. The police have been unable to stop it.For another example, people with different stances are facing each other, fighting on the street, and even young female students who are full of violence, hurting people without softness.Another example is more and more students who have been involved in the vortex, and the school cannot control the order. It can only watch students with unburned their minds and become frontline fodder of the color revolution.
From the turmoil in Hong Kong and the deterioration of police and civilians, Shang Morgan summarized three lessons that Singapore could be absorbed: 1. The fundamental problem must be resolved by the government, and the police have no power to do;Effectively, timely, and instant conveying relevant information to the public.
Yes, the first point is especially important.To prevent the goal of becoming a color revolution, the primary work is to govern the society and try to eliminate all kinds of contradictions and injustice.Otherwise, it is like the burnt peat land after a long drought, which can easily be arson and cause the haze that is difficult to extinguish.When the boundless wilderness burns, it can be controlled by firefighters.Therefore, to prevent the color revolution, it is necessary to prevent the peatization of society.
For Hong Kong, the so -called frozen three feet is not a day's cold, and social contradictions are so sharp, and the SAR government, which has been leading the specialist leader after the return, is almost weak, do nothing, has policies but has no political achievements.The 85,000 public home building plan for the first Chief Executive Dong Jianhua was a living example.It can also be seen that a group of civil servants trained in a group of colonial era may not be bad, but they are completely lacking in political ability.Therefore, in the face of riots, it is helpless.
For a long time, the people's grievances have become the hotspot of outsiders to provoke the color revolution.The current situation is like the peat land in Indonesia, which has been smoky.A society, which was originally paying attention to the legal system, is now trampled on the rule of law.What is even more terrible is that the entire society has also clearly torn into two hostile camps.One is pro -government and pro -China, and the other is anti -Hong Kong government and anti -Beijing. The two factions are like water and fire. At this time, we have to talk about dialogue and reconciliation.Since then, we have seen another society that was split in color revolution, and it is impossible to reply to complete, like a difficulty of breaking the mirror.If the Hong Kong government does not change its strategy, it will be out of reach if they want to stop violence.
Maybe we watched a lot of police films in Hong Kong, leaving a wrong impression that the Hong Kong police officer was really powerful to deal with underworld and thugs. Nowadays, it seems that the goods are not handled.But the fact is that when the color revolution is engaged, the police will never use it anymore.The basic function of the police is to maintain social security and deal with criminals. It is impossible to resist the social revolution that causes society to fall into a crazy color.
In Singapore, according to a recent survey quoted by the Minister, 90%of them have confidence in the internal affairs team. I believe they can effectively enforce the law and have the ability to control the law when facing the crisis.This is encouraging and the most precious assets of the police forces.Under normal circumstances, people's trust in police forces, the ability of the police to maintain social order and the efficiency of dealing with criminals and cases.
Facts show that the police can often detect crimes in a very short period of time and arrest criminals to justice.For the people, this is the basis for establishing confidence; for criminals, it is the biggest deterioration.However, the police forces can concentrate on doing things within the division depends on the good governance of the government.Hong Kong turmoil is a mirror.
