The editorial said:

A peasant has been hovering between life and death for ten days after being hit hard by the police's water cannon firing during the all-out people's action. But the chief of the Police Agency has refused to make an official apology asserting it was not an excessive suppression.

When a lawmaker from an opposition party accused him of breaching the guideline for using water cannon, he let loose sophism that police may not abide by the guideline when it is hard to observe it, the editorial charged.

It demanded the police admit their violent suppression of protesters and make an apology to the victim and people.
