香港民意研究所主席及行政總裁鍾庭耀回應近日不斷上升的暴力事件
有關昨天不幸發生的幾次槍擊事件，香港民意研究所主席及行政總裁鍾庭耀發表幾點意見：
(1) 幾次槍擊事件的發生源於過去多月雙方不斷升級的武力。要停止同類事件再次發生，需要雙方共同作出具建設性的努力。
(2) 政府方面，尤其是警隊，本人建議迅速就昨天的事件進行獨立調查，防止事件重演，而在調查完結前：
(a) 警方減少出動特別戰術小隊（俗稱速龍），如果速龍真的需要出勤，則在制服上明確顯示警員編號；
(b) 警方不再喬裝示威者，讓市民明確判別示威者的行為；
(c) 重新檢視香港警隊的願境和使命，尤其是在服務質素監察部在1994年成立後的良好作風，有需要時為偏離質素服務的警員提供輔導及其他支援。
(3) 在示威者方面，尤其是勇武示威者，本人同樣建議他們能從以下方向檢討他們的策略：
(a) 示威者的行為經已令中央政府尷尬，並已爭取到國際關注；
(b) 國際社會尤其是一般民眾通常只會支持非暴力形式的行為，而非以「攬炒」方式綑綁社會人士的利益，包括不同意見人士的利益；
(c) 示威者應考慮以和平的方法繼續爭取，例如公民社會商討會議、法律行動、全民投票等方法解決問題。
(4) 鑑於「對話會」無助遏止暴力上升，政府應果斷檢討對話的方法以回應社會訴求。

Robert Chung the President of HKPORI responds to
Escalating Violence in Hong Kong
On the unfortunate shooting incidents which occurred yesterday, Robert Chung, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (HKPORI), made these observations today:
(1) The shooting incidents are results of escalating violence which have spiraled upward in recent months and such a spiral can only be stopped by taking constructive efforts from both sides of the divide.
(2) On the side of the government especially the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF), I suggest they make a quick and independent investigation on what happened yesterday with a view of preventing such incidents from happening again, and before the investigation is complete, take the following measures:
(a) Reduce the deployment of the STC (Special Tactical Contingent) as much as possible and if such a deployment is a must, display their identification numbers as clearly as possible;
(b) Refrain from deploying undercovers to the protesters so there is no ambiguity on what actions are started by the protesters and not police officers in disguise.
(c) Review the mission and vision of the HKPF especially after the establishment of their Service Quality Wing in 1994 so as to preserve the good practices of the Force, and to provide suitable counselling and assistance to police officers who might have deviated from such practices.
(3) On the side of the protesters especially the hardcore ones, I likewise suggest they review their tactics in light of the following:
(a) They have already embarrassed the leadership of the Central People’s Government and caught the attention of the international community;
(b) International support especially those from the common people usually goes to those who fight in peace, not those who sabotage their own society even those who oppose their beliefs;
(c) Resort to more peaceful means of conflict resolution including civil society driven deliberations, judicial actions, people’s referendums, and so on.
(4) Given that the public dialogue has failed to stop the escalation of violence, the government should quickly review and revise its dialogue plan to address public demands.
