Bullying in AKPOL?

Have you read TEMPO Magz this week?
I'm sure TEMPO gets more profit this week, as I'm certainly sure most of the buyers are member of IKASTARA (Ikatan Alumni SMA Taruna Nusantara), AKMIL (Indonesian Arm Forces Academy), and AKPOL (Indonesian Police Academy).
WHY? because it contains articles about "BULLYING IN AKPOL"
and why I relate it to IKASTARA? Because one of the victim is the alumnus, my batch friend in ATHENA (17th batch of Taruna Nusantara, we usually name our batch), FEBYA.
Febya got bullied by his senior at about 7 months ago. I've heard the news since he got into the hospital, but I never expect the specific news about why he can be got severe injures will be spread out to the public. The bullying made  he can't control his hip-to-knee body part. The result, that part tends to get tremor all the time. practically, he can't walk.

what are the causes? Expert said it because there's  a kind of injury on Febya's backbone, and it made the nerve system became in trouble so that the nerve cannot control the movement from hip to knee.
and why the injury can be happened? Febya said it because one day he was late for a meeting, and as the "consequences" one of the senior called him, and hit and push him. He fell against the wall and his backbone hit the wall hard.

Now, Febya has been expelled honorably by AKPOL. The reason behind the expel is because AKPOL sees his condition is disable enough to continue his education in AKPOL.

My friend, Febya, is only one exampe of the bullying. I believe there's more in there. The problem is maybe students there cannot (or they're blurred by the indoctrination) differ which is education and which is bullying.

Pardon me, I'm a liberal. I just state my position, that I am not agree with that type of "education". I think there's more ways to educate human to become more humanly.

One day, when I have children, I will make sure their schools provide what-in-my-mind "good education system". I don't want my children suffer things that he doesn't need to.

Lastly, my salute to Febya who brave enough to open this case to the public. I believe there will be a better way for you instead of AKPOL. Be strong.
