Some of the accusations levelled at the police that the Hong Kong police force wanted to clarify included: male police officers doing a body search on female protesters, and officers throwing tear gas canisters in a haphazard manner out of a MTR station in Causeway Bay.
On their social media post, the police wrote, “online rumour flies and soars, only one truth and no more”, as well as adding a hash tag that says, “End the violence and chaos with no time to lose”.

Translation:
(Top Line) The police haphazardly threw tear gas from MTR station at Causeway Bay?
(Bottom Line) Because the rioters attacked officers inside the station first.
