The Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor refuted criticism of the police in Legco today, says she “would not accept any one accusing the police of brutality.''

During her appearance in Legco, pro-democracy lawmakers heckled her repeatedly, but she continued her question and answer session, amid interruptions.

In October, she was made to abandon her policy speech to lawmakers.

Civic Party leader Alvin Yeung, told Lam she was "the laughing stock of the world," and accused her of conniving with the police and allowing them to beat up young people, RTHK reported. "Do you know how to write the word shame?" Yeung asked her, holding up a piece of paper to show her what it is in Chinese.

RTHK reported that Democratic Party's Lam Cheuk-ting said Lam is turning a blind eye to the problem of police brutality, and the force has been damaging its own reputation.

"She has been siding with the police force for so long and trying to harbour their wrongdoing. That is one of the main reasons that police brutality has been getting worse," he said.
