Acting National Police Agency Commissioner Lee Ho-young countered the ruling party's criticism that the damage was increased because the police did not wear protective gear in advance during the Western District Court riot, saying, "The cause of the police's injury was caused by the rioters."

Acting President Lee responded to the question of Bae Joon-young, a member of the People's Power, that supporters of President Yoon Suk Yeol stormed while the police went to wear protective gear at a plenary session of the National Assembly's Public Administration and Security Committee today (20th).

In the meantime, there are about 5,000 police troops, and they have been working all night since December 3rd last year, and they said they are very tired, and they feel sorry for the injuries to the employees, but the police as a whole said they did their best.

Then, when asked by Rep. Lee Dal-hee whether withdrawing from the back gate of the Western District Court increased the damage, he refuted that his career was not enough to prevent all of them with his career at the time, saying that he adjusted his career according to the speed of protesters.
