I may be typical but it's nuts. Send your secret police to harass your critics whenever an important date is coming up.

Technically, it was 500 uniformed officers, and not the secret police (which in this case would be the MSS).
Well it's more complex now. There is a special unit for NSL matters, and the NSL permitted the state agencies to openly operate in HK (they were thankfully already operating but not openly), but I think it's mostly done with the coordination of the NSL unit, which is also connected to police. So probably some of the people in the raid were staff from the NSL unit.
