JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the Indonesian Parliament Rudy Masud assessed that Bripka CS should be severely punished and deserved to be disrespectfully discharged. Because the brutal action of the drunken person has tarnished the face of the new National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo.

"It is shameful to have such a brutal act," Rudy told reporters, Friday, February 26.

The Golkar politician emphasized that police officers who committed this heinous act must be dealt with firmly. It should be remembered, he said, that the incident was carried out in a personal name so that it needs to be communicated immediately between the National Police and the TNI.

"I hope this cowboy police action is the last case," said Rudy.

It is known that the shooting at the RM Cafe which caused three people to die was carried out by a police officer with the rank of Bripka. In this bloody incident, one TNI member and two civilians were killed.

The incident started from a quarrel between Bripda CS and employees of RM Cafe, Cengkareng because of the bill that reached millions of rupiah. The bill was to pay for the alcoholic drinks the suspect drank.

"Yes, I have already said that there was a conflict when making payments because they did not accept it, so the perpetrator took out a firearm," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus to reporters, Thursday, February 25.

Based on information, the value of the bill of payments reached Rp. 3.3 million. After the quarrel occurred, the suspect immediately took a firearm (senpi) and shot four people.

"With a drunken state, CS brother took out a firearm and shot the 4 employees. Three died on the spot and 1 is still being treated in hospital," said Yusri.

Yusri explained, the identities of the three people who were killed, namely, S as a member of the TNI, M and FSS as an employee of the RM Cafe. Meanwhile, another person with the initials H is currently undergoing medical treatment at the Kramat Jati Police Hospital, East Jakarta.

In this shooting case, Bripka CS was charged with Article 338 of the Criminal Code regarding murder.
