HONG KONG (Reuters): A Hong Kong riot cop who was filmed chanting "black lives matter" and "I can't breathe" on patrol during a demonstration on Friday has been reprimanded by authorities, according to media reports on Sunday (June 14).
A clip of the officer who was in Yau Ma Tei, in Hong Kong's Kowloon neighbourhood, was posted online, including the government funded public broadcaster RTHK's website, in which he was seen making the comments in reference to George Floyd's death in Minneapolis on May 25 while in police custody, which sparked protests across the United States.
