JAKARTA - Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Fadil Imran asked all his staff to use gentle methods in the security scheme for the April 11 demonstrations. Thus, the act of expressing an opinion can end peacefully.

"We take care of these students, like taking care of our children who are playing, we take care of them with love, we take care of them with great tenderness," said Inspector General Fadil to reporters, Monday, April 11.

Thousands of personnel who were alerted in the security scheme and even then were ordered to respect the demonstrators. The trick, by not committing violence in any case.

In fact, all of its members were asked to regard the mass of action who were students as children. Thus, trust arises between the demonstrators and the masses of action. By doing these things, said Fadil, automatically riots and others who are worried will not happen.

"Let's build a mutually respectful relationship that loves each other between us and our younger students, just think of them as our own children," said Fadil.

For your information, 5,626 joint TNI-Polri personnel were deployed in the security scheme for student demonstrations.
