JAKARTA - Mass emotions are overflowing. They burned Hatle Trans Jakarta in front of Polda Metro Jaya.

The arson began when the masses damaged the bus stop by throwing stones and hitting it with bamboo.

Then, several people from the masses threw objects such as cloth and wood and tree branches at the bus stop.

The crowd then burned the bus stop at around 20.30 WIB. From a distance, a very large fire was seen.

Black smoke billowing into the air. In fact, the height of the fire is estimated to reach two meters.

The crowd who saw the bus stop on fire immediately cheered, as if they were happy with what had happened.

"Huuuu...huuuu," shouted the masses.

Not only that, the masses also burned down the police post (pospol) which was right at Polda Metro Jaya.

Until this news was revealed, the flames were getting bigger. In fact, there is one other hotspot right in front of the Polda Metro Jaya building.

Previously, the masses also burned various objects in front of the gates of the Polda Metro Jaya. The action was also greeted by the screams of the masses who seemed to be banga with the big flames.

"Horeee... horeee," shouted the crowd as if supporting the arson.

Meanwhile, this demonstration brought three main demands, namely, asking the alleged perpetrators of the prosecution to be tried; demanding comprehensive reform within the National Police; urged National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo to resign or be replaced.

This action is related to the repressive actions of seven Brimob members who ran over online motorcycle taxi driver (ojol) Affan Kurniawan to death.
