Teen Shooting

Shooting first and asking questions later is certainly not the proper way for the police in uniform to act.Since when have they been authorised to be the Judge jury, and executioner?unless there is an imminent threat to their lives there is no justifiable reason for them to open fire on any criminals.

It is preposterous for the police to claim that the car was used as a weapon to crash into them when the fact of the matter was that they were actually pursuing the teen driver.And if as claimed that a parang was found in the car how could that be a threat when it posed no danger to their lives? Of late it seems the police have resorted to taking the law into their own hands with several ex-judicial killings.The ordinary citizens would have no qualms if the killings were indeed directed at hardcore criminals hell bent in committing murder and robbery. But when innocent lives are sacrificed for the mere sake of slipshod policing then there is something wrong with our people in uniform.
