Police intercepted and searched a 12-year-old girl at the scene in Mong Kok on September 6. The incident sparked controversy. Many people on the Internet are broadcasting or discussing videos of police chasing and subduing young girls. I watched the film several times carefully. This matter should be viewed on two levels.

Two levels of police arrest
First of all, whether this girl has violated the gathering restriction order. This depends on the evidence at the time. If there is a suspicion, no matter how old she is, the police interception is correct; if there is no reasonable evidence, it is wrong for the police interception and investigation. Second, the method of arrest is also the most questioned.
The police intercepted and searched the suspect. It is normal to chase the suspect. Using the knee to subdue the suspect, if it is a reasonable part, is also a common practice internationally, and there is nothing wrong with it. In the United States, the police may use greater force against suspects who resist arrest. If they are adults, the police may even shoot. Of course, during the police enforcement process, some details can be slightly improved. For example, if the suspect is relatively young, shouldn’t he try to use a gentler method? Stationery, and the other boy who was arrested next to him, did not know him, so he did not violate the gathering restriction order, would not issue a ticket, and would make a defense.
was intercepted at the scene, and many people said that they were just going out to go shopping, not to march. The truth is difficult to distinguish, there are so many people at the scene, so chaotic, and there is a possibility that the police missed the deputy car. Some netizens also criticized that they should not go if they know that Mong Kok is a high-risk area for demonstrations.
are responsible regardless of age
Actually this is another matter, because the police finally voted against the girl using the 599G ordinance, which is the so-called gathering restriction order, instead of saying that she participated in an illegal assembly, so the girl took to the street For the time being, the purpose can not be discussed. As for whether she and her brother violated the gathering restriction order, it depends on the court's decision. If the judge believes that the girl's statement is true, it also proves that the police made a misjudgment when enforcing the law.

The most important controversy in the whole thing is that this girl is only 12 years old. On the surface, the law enforcement police should not be able to tell the age of this girl.
There are many very young participants in this street campaign. When the police think they are suspicious, it is normal to intercept the suspect.
has a comment, is it a crime to be young? Is it necessary to be intercepted? But from another perspective, is young a gold exemption? If you are guilty, you should bear responsibility regardless of age, and accept appropriate punishment.
Someone is propagating and expanding the matter on the Internet, all wanting to use these sympathetic details to make a message, the purpose is to arouse public outrage, want to arouse hatred of the police.
If netizens have these practices, it is a personal behavior, but the media and public figures, including celebrity members, should not join the hype queue to incite hatred. Instead, they should analyze objectively and guide the public to rationally view the incident. It is truly responsible and loving Hong Kong's good behavior for Hong Kong.
In fact, whether it is the media or public celebrities, there should be an additional responsibility. When there are conflicts and tears in this society, we should try our best to resolve the conflicts and repair the cracks, instead of adding fuel to the fire and raising the public. mood.
sincerely hope that everyone can analyze rationally, no matter what kind of political stance, don’t let others talk about it, and let your thinking be led by others.
