Confession of TG Terminating Squad (original video: 滅煙小隊的自白：最催淚的不是催淚彈 而是無私的香港人 https://bit.ly/30yXKUr）
Since the beginning of August, Hong Kong Police Force announced a total use of at least 1800 tear gas bombs in the controversial anti-extradition bill protests. Tear gas bombs returned again in the past two days, in both Kwun Tong and Tsuen Wan.
Thick smogs and smoke were everywhere, creating the birth of a special role on the frontline - TG Terminating Squad. Initially they used water to put out tear gas bombs, or orange safety cones to cover them. Later, they switched to using stainless steel steaming dishes, directly covering the entire bomb. Recently some protesters even caught the squad using tennis or badminton rackets to hit the tear gas bombs back to the courts of police’s defense line.
Water (Alias), a 22 years old, has been a tear gas bomb terminator since 21st of July in Sheung Wan. He describes his role standing in the mid-front-rows. Although he leans slightly towards the protesters politically, his initiation was very simple: if he becomes part of the TG terminating squad, he can help others suffer less.
Since 27th July, Water, unsure of whether his symptoms are the results of being exposed to expired tear gas, he has been consistently suffering from diarrhea and rashes. “Yes there is a risk, but it is incomparable to those are on the frontline.” He said people at his age shouldn’t be learning how to extinguish tear gas bombs, they should be living a worry-free life. Unfortunately thing didn’t turn out the way he hoped for. He was born in 1997. When he reaches 50 years of age, Hong Kong will be handed over to China officially. “If we don’t do enough now, aren’t we letting down the next generation even more?’’
If he is not scared of diarrhea, then is he worried of being arrested? ”Yes of course, but what can you do? I will be sent to prison for only ten years (for conviction on rioting). People will change, and you may experience a lot in ten years’ time. But the risk should be expected once you take your stand.”
To quote LIHKG: “If there are rioters on earth, will they look like this?”
