JAKARTA - A demonstration held in front of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police (Polda Metro Jaya) turned chaotic. The crowd, dominated by students, damaged a police car.
The demonstration was in response to the repressive actions of Brimob officers who ran over online motorcycle taxi (ojol) driver Affan Kurniawan, killing him.
The vandalism began when a convoy of approximately five police cars passed in front of the crowd gathered on the side of Jalan Sudirman.
The crowd then shouted "murderer" at the police convoy. They even intercepted the lead police car.
"Murderer... Murderer..." the crowd shouted in unison.
At that point, the crowd began to vandalize the car. They hit and kicked the white and blue police car. From a distance, the car was visible, with its windows shattered and its body dented.
Finally, the convoy retreated. The four other cars immediately entered the Jakarta Metropolitan Police headquarters.
The same went for the remaining car. Although damaged, it was successfully brought inside.
Meanwhile, in the case of Affan Kurniawan's death, seven Brimob members have been arrested. They are identified as Kompol C, Aipda M, Bripka R, Briptu B, Bripda M, Baraka Y, and Baraka J.
