Police joined hand with politician to become licensed gangsters...why the need for police to behave in such a manner on people who demonstrated peacefully, whilst totally forgetting about crimes that's happening every minute everywhere.
The police are going after people who don't retaliate like those criminals who dare use dangerous weapons on them... The rakyat should condemn all barbaric acts by the police on the rakyat of this nation.
Police must limit their duty to safeguard the public and not meddle with political matters.
The police should leave politicking to politicians. It's time for the rakyat to do "civilian arrest" on those violent policemen and hand over to the police with a criminal report lodged and the police should make a rearrest and charge them for going against the very law they should be protecting and upholding....
The law is there for "civilian arrest" on anyone found to be committing a crime in this country. The public is empowered to make a "civilian arrest" even if the suspected criminal is a police officer, provided the person making the civilian arrest witness (eye witness) the crime and make the arrest on the spot and hand over to the police.
Guan Eng shocked with police violence
By Shannon Teoh
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 — DAP have condemned police action in breaking up last night's gathering in Petaling Jaya to mark the first anniversary of the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) rally.
Party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said he was "shocked at the violence by the police."
"I cannot understand why peaceful citizens and elected representatives were attacked," added the Penang Chief Minister.
Police detained 23 people, including PJ Utara MP Tony Pua, Selangor Exco Ronnie Liu and Kampung Tunku state assemblyman Lau Weng San at the rally in PJ New Town and released all except one this morning at 7.30am.
Also detained were two members of the press and Father Paulino Miranda, parish priest of the Church of the Divine Mercy in Shah Alam.
Pua showed reporters in Parliament a shirt he had worn last night and claimed that all the buttons had been ripped out due to manhandling by the police.
"Even though I said I would cooperate and walk to the police truck when they arrested me, they still tore my shirt. Three other police personnel also attacked me, one kneed me in the belly and another aimed a kick at my shin," he said.
Pua also insisted that police had charged and dispersed the crowd while they were singing “Negaraku” to end proceedings for the night, a claim that Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar denied.
Lau lodged a police report at 4.29am while in police custody, claiming that he had been punched twice by a police officer.
Showing reporters the cuts on his cheek and lip, he called the "unruly and aggressive" police behaviour unnecessary.
DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang questioned the "massive deployment of police personnel to break up a peaceful gathering by excessive police force and violence" as it showed that it was being made a priority over "the mobilisation of police to keep crime low."
Earlier, Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar told reporters in the Parliament lobby that he was not aware of the details of the incident as he had not obtained a report.
"Police work is police work. They are responsible for maintaining law and order. This is routine police work," he said.
Syed Hamid added that if there was any unhappiness with the police, people could lodge reports.
