從電視畫面所見,有警務人員發射槍彈時瞄向沒有手持武器的示威人士頭部。有評論質疑,此做法有違《警察通例》第29章的規定,當中訂明警務人員所使用的武力必須是在當時情況下合理地需要的最低程度武力。

As seen on the television screen, some police officers aimed at the heads of unarmed demonstrators when they fired. There are comments querying that such acts were in violation of a requirement in Chapter 29 of the Police General Orders, which stipulates, among others, that the level of force to be used by police officers shall be minimal and reasonably required under the prevailing circumstances.
