视频-香港暴力示威警方之过？英国专家说是"无稽之谈"

Editor's note： A Hong Kong police officer was hospitalized after he was shot in his calf by an arrow during clashes with protesters near the Hong Kong Polytechnic University on November 17， 2019。 Since June， violent protesters have been attacking the Hong Kong police。 The police took action to control the situation， according to the law， but they were accused by protesters and Western media of police brutality and abuse of power。 Each time a confrontation happens， accusations against the police are often more severe than criticism towards the mobs' irrational acts。 Is this an accurate claim？ Tom Fowdy， a British political and international relations analyst who lived in Hong Kong， shares his views with CGTN。

编者按：2019年11月17日，香港理工大学附近，一名香港警员在与示威者发生冲突时被箭射中小腿，随后被送往医院。自6月以来，暴力示威者不断攻击香港警方。警方依法采取行动控制局势，却被示威者和西方媒体指责暴力执法和滥用权力。每当冲突发生时，对警方暴力的指责往往比对暴民非理性行为的批评更为严厉。事实是否如此？曾居香港的英国政治和国际关系分析家汤姆·福迪与CGTN分享了他的观点。

There's an underlining narrative， from the protests and their key figures that when you see the scenes of violence in Hong Kong it is apparently the police that provoke them to do that。 They claimed that it is a means of self-defense。 But， honestly， once you look at the evidence in its practical terms， this just makes no sense。
