Carrie Lam suggests riot police are feeling stressed due to a fear of bomb attacks during protests. Lam was responding to a question regarding an officer knocking over a Cable TV reporter with his shield in Tseung Kwan O on Sunday night. Before going into today's Executive Council meeting, Lam was asked whether she thinks the force should identify the officer involved and investigate the incident. Lam said she was aware that the force has written to Cable TV to apologise and had stressed that the officer's action was not deliberate. Despite defending the force, Lam added that she believes its management understands there are public concerns about the Cable TV reporter incident and would look into what happened seriously.
