The US's diverse law enforcement agencies may not always be paragons of virtue, but I take exception to the blanket statement by the Basic Law Committee member below. Given the behavior of the HK police force the past 14 days in that city, they need to do more than a little investigation of their own practices and officers before saying such behavior is "ok" because it occurs in the US (on occasion), too.
