Police Commissioner Gari Baki says that while the public are guaranteed some rights they must not test the limits of the police and how they conduct themselves.
Baki says that police are not machines and have emotions as well as breaking points in their patience.
While he condemned the alleged assault that took place during this week's public protest, he says that from experience police are always on the receiving end of public scrutiny from various alleged assault cases.
Bake says that while police must act accordingly, the public must also not agitate the situation by bad mouthing the duties that are carried out by police who ensure the public's safety.
