Priority Queue on CBWFQ

Hi,
Chin's book, page 544 says:
"When the CBWFQ queues are not using up their allocated bandwidth, traffic from a congested priority queue can use up the free bandwidth."

He follows with and example where a VIDEO class is configured for priority 64kbps and show frame pvc xxx shows the class using 86kbps.

I always considered priority police a traffic, so priority 64 would give it stricty priority but also would police, so it can not go further than 64kbps (no matter if there is congestion or not).

What do you think?

I have the impression that Chin's error is to consider that "offered rate 86000" means it is using the bandwidth, when in fact we can see drops packet increasing and show int ser x/y shows 64kbps. At least on the practice lab I did that is what occurs.
