		Police officials insist that after the handover, their force will use its considerable firepower to tackle criminals, not dissidents, while maintaining Hong Kong's liberal social values.

	Human rights abuses by Hong Kong police - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is said that the HKP's subordination to the HKSAR government is the reason that the HKP has to use force on protestors, a bid to maintain their status or, to a lesser extent, avoid being rebuked by the government.
		In the meanwhile violent police officers involved in such cases are believed to be let go of lightly by courts, assisted by prosecuters who intentionally charge them with the lighter offence of grievous bodily harm, instead of torture which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment under local legislation.
		Unlike their counterparts in some democratic countries like the United Kingdom where all regional police forces are governed by a police authority which consists of elected local councilors and local members of the public, HKP only reports to the Security Bureau of HKSAR government, headed by appointed civil servants from the executive branch of government.
