The police officer should've shot that thug in the head, end of story.
Hong Kong protests: man shot by police officer in Sai Wan Ho hits out at ‘ridiculous’ use of live round at such close range
A 21-year-old man shot by a police officer in Sai Wan Ho in early November said the use of a live round at such close range was “most ridiculous” as his lawyer vowed to fight any charges that may be brought.
Chow Pak-kwan, joined by his father and lawyer, on Saturday made his first public appearance since being discharged from hospital. He was dressed in black and spoke in a low and hoarse voice, apparently still recovering.
“I found that most ridiculous when [the officer] pulled out his gun,” Chow said. “As one can see from the footage, there is no one on the road, no one else is trying to threaten him.”
Chow was shot by a traffic officer surnamed Kwan during a citywide strike on November 11.
Footage showed Kwan first grappling with another protester before drawing his revolver and pressing it against the other man’s chest, as Chow approached. He then fired at Chow.
Police said the shooting did not deviate from guidelines on the use of firearms. The force also said Kwan was facing a group that was targeting his pistol.
Since the incident, Kwan has been on leave having also suffered injuries during the incident.
A defiant Chow, a Vocational Training Council student, said he had no regrets about being at the scene, although he felt blessed he survived the shooting and would never forget the episode.
“Minutes after being shot, I wondered whether I would die from the incident, but I believed I must live on.
