8 persons shot dead by police just in Selangor this month...How many nationwide? Not that we do not TRUST police version of what happened...but there must be INDEPENDENT verification that this was not simply EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLINGS...The police is supposed to arrest suspects not shoot them dead..
Maybe police should be using tranquilizer guns and/or 'rubber bullets' ...The man who alleged ran amok with no firearm also ended up dead... Did the 'amok' even know what he was doing? Was he out of his mind when the police shot him dead?
The police talk about SOP(Standard Operating Procedure) - but is it made public, so anyone can complain when police do not follow these SOPs
See earlier statement - Inquest for all Police Shot Dead Victims - Extrajudicial Killing Must Be Criminalized in Malaysia
SUHAKAM should have PUBLIC INQUIRY on police shooting where 3 died and 1 women allegedly missing?
Man shot dead in federal police’s anti-human trafficking operation in Puchong (VIDEO)
PETALING JAYA, Sept 25 — A local man allegedly involved with a human
trafficking syndicate was shot dead by police yesterday during a special
operation by an enforcement team from Bukit Aman.
Selangor police chief Datuk Noor Azam Jamaludin said the man, aged
30, was fatally shot while the team had been carrying out the operations
in Puchong.
“Police also detained nine Myanmar nationals believed to have been
smuggled by the suspect into the country,” Noor Azam said during a press
conference held at the Selangor police headquarters this morning.
He said the police team had trailed the man and his Perodua Alza from
Kelantan after receiving information that he was transferring the
illegal immigrants to an undisclosed location.
“The police team decided to make an arrest when the suspect stopped at Jalan Pusat Bandar, Puchong.
“The officers blocked the suspect’s car, but that did not stop him as
he attempted to ram into one of the policemen. The police had no choice
but to open fire and the suspect was shot dead,” he said.
Noor Azam said the eight Myanmar national were found hidden inside the vehicle.
“All passenger seats in the vehicle were removed to make space to hide the illegal immigrants.”
Initial investigations showed that the man had stopped at Puchong to
meet up with another Myanmar national, believed to be a middleman in the
smuggling operations, who was also arrested.
Noor Azam said a background check on the man killed showed he had 11
previous criminal records for drugs, theft, robbery and extortion.
This is the third police shooting in the state this month.
On September 15, three robbers from the same gang were killed after a
7km high-speed chase and shoot-out with police in Batu Arang, Rawang.
On Monday, four armed men died in a shoot-out with police at the car
park of a condominium in Cyberjaya, several hours after carrying out a
heist in Cheras.
Noor Azam acknowledged that this was the third such incident this
month alone, but stressed that police were only doing their job to
safeguard the community.
“We are not trigger happy, we have a standard operating procedure (SOP) and we adhere to it.
“My officers follow the SOP’s at all times and we ourselves will take action if we find that our men have not followed the SOPs,” he said.
Noor Azam said the officers involved had no choice but to take used deadly force as their safety had been at risk.
“The suspects we are dealing with are those who are armed and dangerous. The Rawang shooting suspects were involved in 70 robbery cases and in some cases, the victims were seriously harmed,” he said. - Malay Mail, 24/9/2019
Police shoot dead factory worker who ran amok and killed colleague
Police this evening shot dead a factory worker who ran amok, causing
the death of one colleague and seriously injuring another, in Bayan
Lepas, Penang.
In the 5.45pm incident, the 25-year-old man is
believed to have used a parang to harm a female supervisor, aged 47, and
a male security manager at the factory. The supervisor succumbed to
serious injuries, particularly head wounds, while receiving treatment at
a hospital.
The 53-year-old manager is reported to be stable and receiving treatment at the Penang Hospital.
According
to Penang Southwest district police chief Supt A A Anbalagan, the man
who had worked as a quality assistant for two years at the factory was
believed to have suffered from depression for several months and had
been absent from work for a week.
He suddenly turned up for work today despite having submitted a letter of resignation effective at the end of this month.
Anbalagan
said policemen who arrived at the scene had told the man to give
himself up but he instead attacked them with a parang, prompting the
officers to shoot in self-defence.
The parang, as well as a knife, were seized by the police who are also investigating the dead man’s motives.
