In comparison, HK police not violent with protesters at all

In the past weeks, radical protesters have resorted to aggressive means to clash with police: hurling bricks and gasoline bombs at police officers and police vehicles, beaming high-power laser pointers at them, and setting fire to barricades. Some radicals actually attempted to snatch a police officer's revolver.

Some protesters even broke into the police dormitory buildings, leaving words like "misfortune must come to your wife and children" on the wall, said a HK police officer.

In comparison with what happened in France, the HK police have maintained the utmost rationality and restraint, and only used the minimum force in face of escalating violence and possible injuries, and few protesters were arrested.

Hong Kong police remained in their posts and vowed to safeguard the city, even though some people have illegally released the personal information of more than 1,600 HK police officers and their family members online.

In the view of some foreign experts, the police in Britain, France, the US and other Western countries usually take a tough stance and enforce the law decisively to control the situation as soon as possible to deal with radical demonstrations like those in HK.
