"Police Shall Breach Law Knowingly": Hong Kong Top Police's Freudian Slip?


In response to a media inquiry about the number of police officers arrested in 2020, Hong Kong Police Commissioner #ChrisTang Ping-keung stated that 45 officers have been arrested in 2020, which is 21 more than that in 2019.

Despite condemning the officers' misconduct, the police commissioner slipped tongue by saying “as police officers who know the law shall breach the law knowingly.”

A few minutes later, he made a correction, “officers who know the law should abide by the law".

When commenting on the police-civilian relationship, Tang said the social sentiment has improved considerably, citing examples like, “Nobody would hurl Molotov cocktail for unknown reasons, and nobody would be assaulted for unknown reasons.”

He reiterated that after one full year, civilians have seen clearly “the damage of rioters to society”. He carried on saying that frontline officers have often been complimented when executing duties, “Citizens usually thank officers and encourage them to keep up their good work.”
