- The conduct of the Hong Kong Police Force is a subject of controversy during the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests. Tactics employed by the force have led to misconduct allegations and protesters have accused the Hong Kong government of using the police as a method to resolve a "lingering political crisis." Actions taken by the police force and the Hong Kong government have caused mixed reactions inside Hong Kong and in the general international community. Allegations against the police include excessive use of force, force against unspecific targets, and arrest without warrant. These allegations have been presented in various media both supporting and detracting from the complaints, such as through amateur video. In general, the spirit, rumors, videos, and other media shared by the public have caused a drop in support for the police force, and an Amnesty International report accused the police of using excessive force against civilians. One of the objectives of the 2019–2020 protests is establishment of an independent inquiry system into said allegations. Although the Independent Police Complaints Council (IPCC) – a body accused of lacking independence and being impotent – has launched investigations into alleged police misconduct in relation to the protests, some members of the public remain dissatisfied with the escalation of police violence. Protesters contend said violence is often disproportionate and have called for an independent commission of inquiry to be established. Many observers have demanded the Hong Kong government conduct a "prompt, independent, impartial investigation" on police use of force against protesters, but police unions often raise complaints about this, citing statute and stating that the IPCC is enough. Joining Hong Kong police unions in this matter is Hong Kong's chief executive, Carrie Lam, who has steadfastly resisted these calls, citing "very, very, very limited" room for manoeuvre. In September 2019, Lam established a panel of foreign experts to work with the IPCC to report on its findings, but several members resigned in November 2019, citing inadequate powers given to the body. The IPCC published the Thematic Study by the IPCC on the Public Order Events arising from the Fugitive Offenders Bill on 2020-05-16. The report issued 52 recommendations, which target the police's operations and observations in some major incidents, including the 2019-07-21 Yuen Long incident and the 2019-06-12 police operations. According to the newsletter made by IPCC in March 2021, among the 52 recommendations, 10 of them have been completed, 4 with significant progress and 38 in progress. More extreme protesters have called for the force to be disbanded, citing the increasing rates of violence. (en)
- 在反對《逃犯條例》修訂草案運動中，香港警方的處理手法為人詬病。例如警隊被批評在內部加緊對警員的身體和思想控制，以強化警隊對示威者的仇恨，亦有聲音批評警隊高層靠攏中國大陸當局，不再維持政治中立；在外部與無差別襲擊市民的黑社會人士勾結，且使用不必要及過份武力、違反國際標準及規範。 國際特赦組織確認香港警隊在2019年6月12日大體和平的示威中，使用不必要及過份武力，違反國際人權法。 2019年8月13日，聯合國人權事務高級專員辦事處發言人指出，聯合國人權理事會已檢視可信證據，證實香港執法人員使用「低致命武器」時違反國際標準及規範，至2020年2月，聯合國人權特別報告員向香港政府發信，稱接獲反送中運動期間，香港義務醫療人員及急救員提供醫療時，被拘捕、騷擾及恐嚇等事件，要求特區政府交代和回應。但港府未有按要求在60日內回覆聯合國。 《華盛頓郵報》於2019年12月25日發表詳盡報道，稱取得過百頁警方武力指引等文件，並邀請9名國際專家審視65宗警察使用武力事件，指只有8%事件中警方武力合符指引。 雖然聯合國及不同外國媒體均對香港警察執法問題，甚至拘捕醫護的行徑作出指責，但林鄭月娥堅稱香港沒警暴發生，社會必須支持警隊執法。政府亦多次發聲明，反駁所有外國的批評「沒有事實根據」。 有鑑於市民關注和社會上對警隊的批評，獨立監察警方處理投訴委員會就2019年反修例事件大型公眾活動和警方行動，進行研究並在2020年5月16日發表獨立專題審視報告，希望市民可以更全面明白警方在暴力事件前扮演的角色。報告中亦提出52項針對警隊行動的建議和部分大型公眾活動的觀察報告，當中包括721元朗襲擊事件，612警方執法行動等。唯坊間仍認為該報告沒有提及警方失職部分。 (zh)
