    Yes, Hong Kong’s police have made mistakes but they have also shown commendable restraint - imagine what would have happened otherwisehttps://www.scmp.com/comment/opinion/article/3027808/yes-hong-kongs-police-have-made-mistakes-they-have-also-shown?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_content=article&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1568871089 …

        "Commendable restraint"?! No mistake, they've viciously targeted citizens protesting for democratic rights, jailed 100s, left others with life injuries, and cosied up to triads and CCP thugs. Asia’s finest are now more aptly described as HK secret police @HongKongFP @BeWaterHKG

        I honestly think that you’ve watched too much biased reporting from some media and perhaps from people posting on line. Sure, there are genuine cases of excessive force used by the police, but the part about cosying up to triads and CCP thugs, there’re no concrete evidence.

        If HK police act in recent protests is so commendable, why do they reject an independent commission of inquiry?

        commendable? HK is a world class city with a world class international society. the only rule by the book it haven't broken in the open when conducting themselves is dispensing live rounds on bystanders and protesters alike. u take the global society as fools.

        It is sad that Twitter doesn't have a dislike/angry reaction button. In short, #PoliceBrutality of HK police is well established and worse, officers without ID are likely to be not accountable to their misconduct. Writer turning a blind eye to various misconduct is astonishing.
