The report written by Clifford Stott, one of the five former members of the International Expert Group of the IPCC, and other scholars including police scholar He Jiaqi, was formally published on the academic website. The report pointed out that the police's policing strategy has repeatedly failed, leading to an escalation of the situation. These include the use of tear gas to disperse the Admiralty clash on 12 June outside the CITIC Building, the occupation of the Legislative Council and police retreat from the building on 1 July, a large number of riot police officers breaking into Shatin New Town Plaza on 14 July and Prince Edward station on 31 August. The attack reflects the police's blatant abuse of power. The attack on Yuen Long on 21 July reflects the inability of police supervision.
