POLICING THE POLICE!

Police: n. [treated as pl.] a civil force responsible for the prevention and detection of crime and the maintenance of public order...

That is what Oxford Dictionary explains about the meaning of "Police". But, do you see these qualities in your police forces? Do they follow 'the code of conduct' and 'go by the book' when discharging their duties in our community? Do they really care about their 'Oath' they have taken before God?

We all know the answer, its a 'NO' but nobody can raise even eyebrows to any wrong-doing and offences committed by the members of such a Law Enforcement organisation.

Ignorance, fear of oppression and state crime and abuse of power by the protectors of Law made every citizen unwilling to react to such situations.

Who is, in fact, responsible for this situation? Chiefly, we can blame the Political Leader who runs the country, form Government. Usually, most of these politicians are behind the seen what we see as police misconduct, brutality and abuse of power.

Then comes the bureaucracy; they are untouchables, well, almost, and do much more harm than welfare to our society. Eventually, corruption spreads everywhere and spreading a 'mantra' - make money, money is god (May God forgive!) and not just the second-one but one and only; it gives ye everything, Ha! everything. Hence, make money by whatever means you may use...

Well, we cannot get rid of this plague just by blaming others; we have our duties to do: protest and try to stop them spread anymore. Create awareness among ourselves and others, unite and fight against Crime, Corruption and Terrorism.

"It is the business of the Citizen in a democracy to ensure that wise laws are passed and that they are fairly administered in the courts of law."1

Let us do our duty.
