The best report I saw on this was on reddit. You can’t start a post with a reddit source here.

Democracy protestors were attacked by Triad gang members in an organized effort. Like AntiFa, only more effective and likely backed by the Chinese government.

Whoever attacked the Hong Kong protestors very likely had mainland backing, trying to escalate the situation to the point the mainland can justify moving in with overwhelming force.

The end of free Hong Kong began in 1997.

The beginning of the end started in 1898 when the Brits leased Hong Kong for 99 years.

Yes, the Triads.

Organized crime has cast it's lot in with the CCP enforcers.
