People saying the press just dress like this to protect themselves, let me explain. This is a press conference held by the Hong Kong police. Hong Kong Journalist Association told all journalists participating to dress like protesters to show their dissatisfaction of police attitude and actions specifically towards journalists.
Edit: Here is a good video to summarize the current situation for people who are out of the loop. Credits: u/Fen_
