在法律的基礎上,從來沒有一個選項，是警察有權力用暴力解決

在法律的基礎上,從來沒有一個選項，是警察有權力用暴力解決

(English version from my friend, I think she doesn't mind this to be re-shared)
英文版來自我一位律師朋友，不開名感謝，但我相信每個手動轉將會是對她最大的感謝

再講第一萬次，不論政治立場，一個警察覺得對方犯法，可以拘捕他，但不可以毆打他，用暴力傷害到他，甚至讓他有機會終身殘障，這是一個文明社會最基本的法治與良知底線。

你覺得年輕人犯了法，所以贊成警察用暴力懲誡？Sorry，法律賦予香港警察的權力只是執法，而不是判罪，更不是施行刑罰，何況香港的刑罰，都多都只有監禁，而並沒有任何一項是要對犯法者判以暴力懲誡的，即是年輕人現在所受到的對待，是已經超越了任何一個頭號重犯，因為無論罪行再重的罪犯，在香港都不可以受到這種對待。

簡單來說，現在警方所做的，已經完全凌駕了所有法律，司法機關，甚至政府所擁有的權力。

政治問題，政治解決；警方覺得對方犯了法，就是法律問題，應該交予法律解決。

從來沒有一個選項，是警察有權力用暴力解決。

No matter what your political stance is, if a police thinks that someone has committed a crime, he can arrest him, but he cannot assault him, use violence to hurt him, and even to the extent of causing him to be permanently disabled. This is the basic rule of law and conscience threshold in a civilized society.

If you think that the youngster has committed a crime and you therefore support the police to use violence as disciplinary measure, then, sorry. You are terribly wrong. The power given to the Hong Kong police by the law is only to enforce the law, not to convict a crime, and definitely not to exercise corporal punishment. Moreover, the maximum sentence of a conviction in Hong Kong is only lifetime imprisonment. There is no sentence for physical punishment, torture or any form of violent treatment.

Simply put, what the police has done has gone beyond and above the law, all law enforcement agencies, the Court system, and even the power of the government itself.

Whatever political problem there is should be resolved by politics; If the police believes a crime is committed, it is a matter of the law and should be handled by the judiciary system.

There has never been an option that the police should use violence to resolve matters themselves.

Respect life, respect the law.
