Unfortunately, when it is worded like that it sounds like a threat. It does not state that if the allegations are true the officers involved face serious consequences. Is there a need to warn against making false police reports ? Everyone knows that it is a serious thing. This sounds like " don't you dare".

Having said that, I have some sympathy for officers on the ground. In a fracas, what exactly is appropriate force ? Aside from opening fire, which I assume is a last resort, it is likely that more than sufficient force will be applied if at all. But no matter how it turns out, bad PR for the SPF. This is one time they should have employed they softly softly " hey brother" approach first. Were there Tamil speaking officers on the job ?
