    Are these the monkies that should protect the citizens? Shameful! By the way : as long as these triforces and police are backing up this government there will be no change.

    This explicitly exposes indiscipline among forces. How could they discipline people.

    A brave army officer should be awarded for the act, as no one can tolerate the policemen's rude attitudes and behavior on innocent general public.

    Yes correct, we need to keep to our culture and salute and hero worship this army fellow even though he acted like a rasthiyadu-karaya wearing his uniform. Didn't we do the same thing to Brig. Priyantha Fernando for acting like a Belekkade Thug in UK.
