Police killings: 'When will they stop?' - Malaysiakini

'When is this going to end? Malaysians have said it a hundred thousand times. All police killings must be subject to a public inquiry by an independent body.

Teen shooting: case to be brought to cabinet


Ramakrishnan Senkodan: Four armed police personnel can't defend themselves against a 15-year old? From shooting at men, then a lady, and now a kid. When are they going to shoot a six-year old in self-defence?

Ashwin Fernandez: When is this going to end? Malaysians have said it a hundred thousand times. All police killings must be subject to a public inquiry by an independent body. These killings must stop, and they must stop now.

We have lost faith in the police force. My heart goes out to the anguished parents. What a cruel act.

Sekigahara no tatakai:
We demand a thorough investigation into this rampant shooting by our police. We cannot allow this kind of incidents happen again and again. He is just a little boy.

Zainuddin Abdul Razak:
Sampai bila Polis Di Raja Malaysia (PDRM) akan bertindak sesuka hati? Bukan ini kali pertama kes sedemikian. Bila polis diberikan terlebih kuasa, ini lah jadinya..

Baiyuensheng:
A 15-year-old child? I am speechless. My condolences to the family. God bless his soul.


Shooting of teen: Don't cover up, MP tells police


Bapak Toyol: The police are very good at cooking up sob stories and will never ever admit that they made a mistake. I have no trust in the police force now, especially the IGP and the Selangor police chief.

Chee Hoe Siew: How is it that I do not believe a single thing Selangor police chief Khalid Abu Bakar says about the incident? In the first place, isn't it a little coincidental to have the whole event sound like a police documentary on car chases?

My disbelief just goes to show the lack of credibility the police have. Police brutality and inefficiency is well-known. For once, Khalid should just come clean and discipline his subordinates instead of shielding them.

Bernard Chen:
When will this brutality end? When PDRM under the protection of corrupt leaders are so emboldened that they can kill a boy. Today is 15 year-old Amirul, tomorrow it could be any one of our sons or brothers.

CPO Khalid says that they (the police officers) are now desk-bound - after they have taken the life of a 15-year-old. How many more of such cases will occur? Malaysians are being brutalised by their own protectors.

Manusia: Quoting the Human Rights Party, whenever the police kill and murder ordinary citizens, they have a standard script: 1) The suspects were behaving suspiciously, 2) police followed them; 3) they saw the police and sped off; 4) the police gave chase; 5) the suspects shot at the police;
6) police shot back in self-defence and the suspects were instantaneously killed in the encounter; 7) the suspects were previously involved in serious crimes and/or have convictions; 8) the police found weapons;
9) the victims are unable to defend themselves and thus neutralises public perception that the murder was committed in cold blood.

This was the story that the police told of the killing of the two brothers in Taiping recently. They will continue to kill as long as we accept it.

Tan Lee Chin: There's always a machete somewhere in a police shooting case. That's a stale story. Plant new weapons, lah. C4, maybe, or a keris, or grenade.

Roti John:
Two different versions of the same story. Knowing the antics of our boys in blue, I tend to believe the other version of it. Aminulrasyid was still young. Condolences to his family.

Habib RAK:
Silly allegations without any decency about parang in the car and driver trying to ram police personnel are all unsubstantiated claims and very typical of the police. My heartfelt condolences to the family of Aminulraysid.

1malaysia:
How come the investigation will be carried out by the same uniformed personnel that shot the boy to death?

Kumara:
The police can manipulate, but we cannot speculate. What a country.

Gandhi: If this killing happened in the UK, there would be public outcry and the chief police officer would have resigned. Life is valuable in these developed countries.

Justice seeker:
Some time back in Greece, there was a fatal shooting of a teenager. It led to huge protests which crippled the day-to-day functioning of the city.

Darrel Damian: Actually, I have some foul words I would like to say but the terms of use forbid it.

I'm in my 50's.From way back in the 70's,the SOP of killings by cops hav e been the same as it is till today.Always the same version by the cops.No change ,then and now.The sickening irony of the situation is this;the 4 cops are desk bound.Murder suspects,but desk bound.People: don't forget.In the United States,cops have got a motto:we protect our own.Guess the same applies here too.Bolehland.Yeah...God help us against our so called law enforcers/protectors.
