The railway police surnamed Li died in the line of duty in the course of duty, and the defendant was acquitted at the first instance a few days ago, and the father of the policeman surnamed Li was deeply shocked and filed an appeal. In this regard, the People's Party today said on the social platform that it is really regrettable that the tragedy encountered by the Lee family is really regrettable, and asks the DPP authorities to review and improve the social safety net in advance, the allocation and manpower of police officers on duty, and the pension after the fact, and reform the system to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy.
After the murder of the railway police surnamed Li, the Taiwan police department is now gradually improving the equipment configuration of the railway police and other front-line police officers on duty, adding non-lethal weapons and equipment, and assisting the front-line police in self-protection measures when they encounter dangerous conditions when they are on duty.
The People's Party pointed out that the current protection of the victim's family is extremely insufficient, the application for compensation for the implementation of the Victim Protection Law is slow, and the relevant protection for the victim's family is extremely lacking, such as legal consultation, legal support, psychological construction, psychological counseling, etc., relying only on the cooperation of private NGOs, but the NGO organization "Crime Victims Protection Association" is also facing a lack of personnel and financial resources, and needs the active assistance of the administrative department.
The People's Party said that Tsai Ing-wen's inaugural speech from the first term of office to this year's 520th, claiming that strengthening the social safety net is the primary task, but in strengthening the social safety net plan, not only has it not perfected the vulnerable groups that can catch "mental illness", and the high-risk groups, complicated and systematic plan implementation, but also let the front-line social workers' labor rights and interests be affected, completely transferring the pressure of social safety net maintenance to NGOs and individual social workers.
According to statistics from the Taiwan Health and Welfare Department in 2016, there were about 140,000 patients visited by the mental care system, but the administrative authorities subsidized the manpower of the local health bureau, and there were only 99 people in Taiwan, and the number of cases per guan visit was as high as 350 to 400, and there was no end to running all year round, one day a day, and overworked people were used to take care of the mentally ill, which is a major loophole in the social safety net.
The People's Party said that if it really wants to make the tragedy not happen again, not only verbal support, or the wind in the media, it needs to be reformed from the institutional aspect in order to truly avoid the problem of curing the symptoms, and the People's Party hopes to replace the chain of hatred in a society that helps and supports each other.
