The Myanmar Police Force (MPF) has been seen on the front lines of the military junta’s violent crackdowns on civilian protesters against the military coup d’état that took place on 1 February 2021. By 27 April a recorded 745 civilians have been killed by the security forces. Police officers have also been deployed to arrest opponents of the coup and are reportedly engaging in random beatings, extortions of money, and the looting of houses and street shops. Consequently, fear and insecurity among the people have grown day by day, giving way to outrage and resentment of police officers.
