Hong Kong Police covering up 火炬護衛手?

港警察會穿火炬護衛手制服 (明報) 04月 29日 星期二 02:35PM

警方說，聖火傳遞當日，最貼近火炬手作保護的本港警察，會穿上火炬護衛手的藍色制服。
警察公共關係科表示，火炬手的保安工作，會由香港全權負責，而按中國奧委會的要求，最貼近火炬手的數名香港警察，將會穿上內地火炬護衛手的藍白色制服，和內地火炬護衛手的分別，是內地護衛手會戴上棒球帽，港警則不會。

Although there is a 'difference' between the Mainland's torch protection team and Hong Kong Police, I think its very possible that HK Police is afraid that in case the Mainland's team is doing too much which might violate HK laws, they could claim that those are Hong Kong Police, at least to the foreign press.
