REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The National Police is being bullied by netizen in cyberspace.

The posting were highly shared and commented by netizens. 

The majority of the netizens’ comments were unrelated to the post. They made eccentric comments and using it to protest the police reaction in handling the clash incidents between Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) and the Indonesian Grassroots Movement (GMBI). The GMBI members were seen to carry wooden block in a demonstration on Thursday (January 12) in front of West Java Police headquarter.

At that time, the Grand Imam of FPI Habib Rizieq Shihab was interviewed by West Java Police related to the report made by politician Sukmawati Soekarnoputri.

West Java Police has standed on the GMBI side."

One of the netizen asked the West Java Police Chief to be dismissed. "Removed the West Java Police Chief and the National Police Chief," wrote an account named as Mas Firman.
