00:00Those who are invited by the police or the PNP that this investigation is not going to be a witch hunt against them
00:09but it would be like a study on how will they improve their process
00:14because the public might think that this is a witch hunt against the police
00:21that is being said to be promoted by EJK and could possibly lead to dissatisfaction among the police ranks
00:31because they're just doing their jobs.
00:33I mentioned that yesterday in our briefing.
00:37We would like to avoid witch hunting.
00:41Even those that have actually revealed the victims, we ask them to provide the data and proper documents
00:53so that we can avoid being accused of not killing anyone.
