BACAKORAN.CO - The national security situation has once again escalated following a wave of protests across various regions that ended in chaos.
Several police stations were attacked by mobs, police posts were set on fire, and the Mobile Brigade Command Headquarters of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police repeatedly became a target.
Amid these conditions, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo issued a firm order that has drawn public attention.
In a video conference that went viral on social media, the Police Chief urged his ranks not to hesitate in taking action against anyone who dares to breach police headquarters.
“It is forbidden for police headquarters to be attacked. If they enter the barracks, shoot first. You have rubber bullets, at least shoot their legs. Do not hesitate. If anyone blames you, report it. Listyo Sigit is ready to be dismissed,” said the Police Chief in the circulating recording, quoted from KumparanNEWS, Sunday (August 31, 2025).

“Rioters must be dealt with firmly. If the police collapse, then the state will collapse. Let us together safeguard unity, solidarity, and peace for Indonesia. The state must not lose to rioters who damage police headquarters,” said Dedi, quoted from IDN Times.
