Case #2: Girl shot in the eye
SUMMARY OF UNDISPUTED FACTS:
Girl was shot in the eye
SUMMARY OF RELEVANT EVIDENCE:
1. Picture of bean bag in goggle https://www.hongkongfp.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/1565620385_fe09.jpg
2. LIHKG post by sister of victim saying something along the lines of “…I would now like to tell you about my sister’s dream in which she told me that without doing anything but stick her head out between the gap of the bus station advertisements, she was shot in the eye by a bean bag…” https://lihkg.com/thread/1452368/page/1
3. Cable News footage of protester slingshotting. Reporter noting sounds of projectiles fired were tear gas (as opposed to bean bag rounds). Commentary saying the only explanation for the injury was from the protester’s slingshot since there is an advertisement board between the police and victim, while noting the slingshotting moments ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EygJQJUtT80&t=44s&fbclid=IwAR26J-H3BCaqZpXS6zQk_95yPbUEQIx7ObzBrK1a18M1oDXvPqjJ_9XzG8Q
4. Picture of said advertisement board https://www.facebook.com/hkgpaocom/photos/a.414237242114890/1312208655651073/?type=3&theater
5. Video of Ko Wing-man touching upon the victim’s injury as caused by a metal projectile but later explaining he did not know what the injury was caused by https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/ch/component/k2/1475070-20190816.htm
6. Video of victim confirming the authenticity of her sister’s LIHKG post and called on the police to stop all violent acts. https://www.facebook.com/RTHKVNEWS/videos/2593984247505031/?q=%E7%9C%BC%E5%A5%B3&epa=SERP_TAB
7. Police seeking a court warrant to get the medical records of victim, maintaining the cause of the woman’s injury was unknown https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/politics/article/3024947/hong-kong-police-apply-search-warrant-access-medical
ANALYSIS:
We will be attacking the credibility of what all these posts purport to be proving
1. We will assume this picture is not edited, but the possibility that it was framed to smear the police remains. This scenario is possible: protester accidentally slingshots victim > victim or protesters around her immediately throw out slingshot projectile and replace it with a bean bag round
2. Saying the victim said something in a dream is unreliable and may suggest fear of legal liability (libel) if the “dream” was found to not be true
3. We will assume this video is unedited, but the possibility that a bean bag caused the injury remains. This scenario is possible: at the same time the tear gas was fired, a bean bag round was fired too. Another possibility is that the reporter mislabelled what was fired on live television. As for the bus stop advertisement being a barrier, the possibility remains that the victim stuck her head out between the advertisement as told in “her dream”.
4. Discussed in point 3
5. Some have tried to crop Ko Wing-man’s statements to mislead the public. We will not be misled. He knows about the same as most of the public: nothing.
6. Victim condemned police brutality but never confirmed what caused her injury
7. The victim’s medical record is perhaps the only way to finding the truth
SUMMARY:
We do not wish to jump to any conclusions on what caused the victim’s injury. The truth can only be known from revealing the victim’s medical record regarding this incident.

Police have since arrested all three officers.

The son of the victim approached the Complaints Against Police Office (CAPO) — an internal department of the force — in late June.
SUMMARY OF DISPUTED FACTS:
1. As to why the investigation took months:
Police spokespeople defended the CAPO on Wednesday, saying that they tried calling Chung (the victim’s son) four times – in early July, mid-July and early August.

“Since we were not able to reach [the complainant] to take a statement, it was impractical for us to carry on with the investigation earlier,” Chief Superintendent John Tse explained.

However, Chung refuted the official version of events: “In the first two weeks, they only sent one email to tell me they opened a file. I picked up every call, even spam calls, but [police] never contacted me by phone.”

2. As to why police did not check CCTV:
Police claimed they did not know about the CCTV installed at the ward, which was why they did not think to ask for it at the hospital.

“There was no intentional delay in the investigation progress,” Tse said, but admitted that the officer made an incorrect judgment call.

However, Chung once again disputed the account, saying that he explicitly told CAPO investigators to check the CCTV footage when he first made the complaint in late June.
ANALYSIS:
What the three officers did were categorically wrong.

On CAPO’s handling of the case:
1. It is difficult to determine the truth in a “he-said-she-said” scenario. Evidence involving call logs and other communication history is needed.

2. The investigators’ handling of the case definitely involved an incorrect judgment call but is consistent with the understanding by police officers that there are no CCTV cameras in hospital wards. This understanding is in line with common expectations of patient privacy. The logic is that if the three officers had the impression that there were CCTV cameras in such wards, they would not have committed such disgusting acts.
SUMMARY:
The three officers are legally/morally guilty. We look forward to the victim getting closure and justice. CAPO’s handling of the investigation definitely involved an incorrect judgment call, but more evidence would be needed to prove malice or intention to delay the investigation progress.
