Not as equating HK with the CCP?

You wrote "How is this a CCP talking point?". I don't know if touting "only 2 deaths by HK police" is or isn't a CCP talking point, but it ignores the question of how many HK residents were extradited[0] to the mainland, never to be heard from again. So omitting that discussion makes it a statement favorable to the CCP (or at least neutral).

[0] if you even want to call the process "extradition" and not straight up "abduction"

Also, the top comment who replied to me is using a single cherry picked clip of an officer speaking a couple Mandarin words as evidence that Hong Kong police are secretly CCP.

I explained why the film wasn't overly harsh to the Hong Kong police. This has nothing to do with the extradition bill.
