By the Washington Post

"A review of more than 100 pages of police guidelines and training manuals obtained by The Washington Post details these protocols surrounding use of force.

Regarding the problem with non-uniformed police officers not identifying themselves as police and accused of provoking protesters, the Hong Kong Police Force made this statement:

"’If some shouting protesters or some people with other motives, hope to obstruct our colleagues' work by requesting officers to show their warrant cards, or if we feel it's an unreasonable request, then we'll of course concentrate on handling the arrestees first,’ he said.”

'The indiscriminate violence inflicted by a large gang of men wearing white T-shirts at the area's MTR station shocked not just the city, but many across the world. The attack was widely regarded as one of the worst events of the months of unrest.'
