go for change

The police must go for change. The top brass must accept changes in their daily affairs with the public. They should also accept responsibility and accountability of their own actions and or their subordinates. They are the public servant entrusted to maintain law and order in the country. After 200 years of its existence, they must have accumulated enough experience to go forward. But we have seen or heard they go backwards. They are afraid to be accountable on their actions. We have heard of detainees died in lockups. Abuses inflicted on the suspects. Ignoring the very law they are sworn to protect! They are the kings in their domain. These officers are dragging their legs to implement changes to the force. The lastest case was the shaving bald of 11 elderly people in lock up. The court of law has not found them guilty yet the police officers said they were. They jumped the gun on the wrong interpretation of its regulations which isnt law. Unless these suspects are proven guilty then appropriate measures can be taken as spell out in judgement. Now we have Hishamuddin ignoring the PM directive to gang up with the Police. He is showing that the PM is weak. This is the PM directive for the Police to adopt changes to suit the needs of the people and country. So will we see changes in the police force?
