The death of 6 members of the FPI laskar became the public spotlight, because they were made suspects. However, this status is legal in the eyes of the law, because they were previously proven to have committed violence against the police. Then they had to be repaid with gunfire, because the police had already threatened their life. In this case, the police’s actions were justified, because when they didn’t fight they would become victims.
When there was a case on the Jakarta-Cikampek KM 50 toll road, the community was shocked because this incident was bloody. There was a death toll from the FPI laskar, and they were wondering what the actual chronology was. After the scene reconstructed, the public understood and sided with the police. Because the deaths of 6 members of the FPI laskar were not planned.
When the 6 people lose their lives, the cause is the actions of those who attacked first. From the voice recordings published by Komnas HAM, they are not at all afraid, instead they are proud to have managed to speed up and trick the police. Then there was an attack, an arrest, and the ending, 4 members of the army flopped helplessly and ended tragically.
The six members of the laskar were named suspects in this bloody case. How can the deceased be made a suspect? The legal basis is Article 170 of the Criminal Code, Article 1 paragraph and 2 of the 1951 Emergency Law, and Article 214 of the Criminal Code. This was stated by Brigadier General Andi Rian, Director of General Crimes at Bareskrim Polri.
Determination of the suspects because they committed violence against the police. So it is natural that the 6 members of the paramilitary get this status. There is no fire if there is no wind. They cannot automatically become suspects if they don’t chase them by car and attack the police first.
The investigation of this case has also been in accordance with the rules, and there is no engineering in it. Because the police are working with the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road manager and various other parties. So it can be concluded that the members of the army are at fault. Even though they have passed away a long time ago.
In addition, it was impossible for the police to attack first, but instead open fire in self-defense. This is indeed allowed, because life is at stake. If the police do not release the hot lead, then they will be threatened by attacks by members of the laskar.
Why did members of the FPI laskar dared to attack the police first? I don’t know what was on their mind and I don’t know what the FPI leaders had planned. Even though this mass organization has been disbanded by the government, it does not mean that it is free from punishment. Because the investigation of this case continues.
When the irregulars go on a rampage, the police should be vigilant. Because they have been brainwashed, so that they are disloyal to the state and consider all officials to be enemies. Though the police are not like that, and have a duty to protect the community. But when the police are attacked, you can defend yourself, right? Because the security forces are also not immune to sharp weapons and firearms, so they reflex to resist attacks.
The investigation of the cases of 6 members of the FPI paramilitary was in accordance with the regulations. They were made suspects, but this status was automatically terminated. Because according to article 77 of the Criminal Code it is allowed. This case has also been SP3, aka considered finished, because all the suspects have died. Case closed! The public does not need to be curious about the cause of the shooting, because there have been numerous press conferences from Bareskrim.
