    "content": "Remember the aftermath was burning of a police station because of the anger. We saw this issue on media and Sen. Pareno has brought it before the House. Where are we going as a county? The sanctity of life is provided for under Article 26 of the Constitution. The use of live bullets should be the last resort. There are rubber bullets and many other ways of subduing or arresting anybody who is affront to the law. Therefore, losing these people because our officers just want to kill to ensure they contain them is unfortunate. I remember the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government and the Inspector-General of Police appeared before this Parliament and assured us of the sanctity of life. There is nowhere in the Constitution that says when you get somebody stealing, you are supposed to execute them. We appreciate that there are so many good police officers, but there are few elements who have criminalised the police. Therefore, I expected that by the time Sen. Pareno brings this Statement, those GSU officers would have been suspended and faced prosecution through the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA)."
