| The recent case involving a torture and oppressive police response to student protest from University Republica has raised some eyebrows.

"The Police is a tool of The Government that used to force the people to obey to their agenda with oppressive means, we no longer need them, see all the Private Businesses and those peaceful Gated Communities has their safety guarded by a more civilized Guards from Private Security Agencies". |

| Message | Anarchism has always been considered more close to the extreme left than to the right., at least historically. The left and the anarchists supported the removal of the traditional institutions and followed a revolutionary agenda while the right was for the establishment. |
| Date | 08:53:30, April 04, 2010 CET | From | Humanist Alliance | To | Debating the Public Safety Act |
| Message | Change article 3 for an article against torture and I will endorse it. |
| Date | 15:53:41, April 04, 2010 CET | From | League of Libertarians | To | Debating the Public Safety Act |
| Message | Why do we still trapped with the old mindset that there must be a publicly-funded Police Force to maintain order? Until today, it is fact that private security agencies works more efficient compared to the Corrupt National Police, almost no complain come from the customer of those private agencies, and those who protest about their existence maybe only left-wing pressure groups that we suspect connected with certain political interests |
