One Shot...One Apology.

I was a little hesistant to write on this! One or two of our fellow bloggers who recently said I hated the entire police force might want to shoot me down! Truth will prevail, eventually! Ha! Ha! Ha!

That 3.30am incident in Gemencheh where a 17 year old youth was shot for taunting the police (true or not?) was in fact an "armless" and harmless youth. A shot in the dark and no eye witness! Easy for cover-ups just in case!

The state police chief, SAC 1 Datuk Osman Salleh was quick to defend his trigger-happy police personnel! That halfwit fired a warning shot and the bullet "strayed' and hit the victim's hip! Shouldn't a warning shot be fired into the air? And when would the police ever learn to "shoot straight"?

Luckily for this unlucky youth, he survived through this harrowing "shooting" experience! But when the time comes, he would eventually have to "shoot it out" with the police again! But this time it would be in court!

An apology would be insufficient. A young, innocent life could have been lost! In would not be wrong to say many of us have lost faith in the police! I'm not here to discredit the force! But if incidences of this nature keeps cropping up, many would be extremely depressed with the police. The police must not be negligent of their duties and responsibilities!

We're not a diseased society and the police must, at all times, act with considerable discretion. Discretion is the better part of valour. With this in mind, I'm sure the "shooting satistics" would be drastically reduced!

Police are not tyrants or despots. But they still have to toe the line when they carry out their duties. Stay out of trouble and things would work out fine.
