Colombo, April 25 (Daily Mirror) - Public Security Minister Tiran Alles told the police today that eliminating criminals from the country is not a sin and not to be afraid to use weapons.
He made these remarks while participating in the passing out parade at Katukurunda STF Training camp.
"Eliminating criminals from the country is not a sin. Don't be afraid to use the weapon in your hand for the right thing and we stand by you," the minister said.
"The police officers who had undergone the training know what to do. They know everything that is needed. If this team is not enough, another police motorcycle team will be established. We have a goal. All the police officers know what that goal is. I just want to go for that goal. I have done everything, including salary increases for all of you. I only expect you to go for the goal," the minister further said.
The passing out parade of a team of 100 police personnel who underwent special training at the Katukurunda STF camp to go after criminals operating in the Western and Southern Provinces was held with the participation of the Minister, IGP Deshabandu Tennakoon, STF Commandant Senior DIG Waruna Jayasundara and the Western Province Senior DIG.
These trained 50 motorcycle teams commenced anti-underworld duties yesterday.
The team was given two weeks special training to respond to incidents involving gunmen committing crimes on motorcycles and take necessary action against them.

why we need a court, when police can do all the justice? This is just the beginning of 88/89

Politicians can give any orders. But those who implement illegal orders will definitely face the music.

Does this mean they can use their weapons as and when they like to kill even their opponents
Must also Wear a Body Camera At All Times Thursday, 25 April 2024 08:24 PM
All officers MUST wear a body camera to ensure justification if firing the weapon is required. If not the public may have misinterpretations and accusations of malicious intent. This will also prevent “trigger happy“ officers not to take the law into their own hands and the videos clips will be useful for training and investigation purposes too. Win win for all parties!

Yeah the time has come to use the weapons at the politicians.
Patcitz Friday, 26 April 2024 12:56 AM
Well done.

Hope this is not an order like to James Bond : Licensed to kill.

you decide whether he is a criminal or not, then if he is a criminal shoot him. you are the judge and the executioner as well. In a future government this man must be tried for claiming publicly that he was the man who arrange funds to be given to LTTE in return to stop the voting of north during a presidential election in which mina was brought to power.

Is the Minister giving a license to kill? This is not a James Bond show

i don't think they need this advice as amply demonstrated in May 2009 and several previous insurgencies.

!Oh, of course! Because if a minister happens to be a criminal, it's totally reasonable to arm ourselves and start a witch hunt. I mean, why stop there? Let's just have the STF (Special Task Force) conduct background checks on every parliamentarian while they're at it. Who cares about innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire? Just collateral damage in the pursuit of justice, right?
dumo Friday, 26 April 2024 04:15 PM
good news. let the police start with the criminals in the parliament including this Alles chap.
