Who will guard the guards??

This post is inspired by the recent happenings all around us. The BREVIEW series will shortly follow.

Consider the following three incidents:
1. London, UK : Scotland Yard's Anti terrorism cell shoots down a suspect suicide bomber, only to discover later that he was innocent.
2. Kashmir, India: Rashtriya Rifles' Jawans take down four poeple suspect to be terrorists, only to discover later that they were a part of a marriage party.
3. Gurgaon, India: Haryana Police circles a set of protestors and beat them black & blue.

The three incidents listed above(and the many similar incidents that happen almost daily), indicate that law enforcement agencies around the world are on their nerves, shooting just almost anyone who looks like a terrorist.

The London incident is a really shameful blot on Scotland Yard. Consider this, the "suspect" was shot 5 times at point-blank range, and officers who shot him thought he was a suicide bomber coz he was wearing a heavy overcoat on a hot day, and took an "unusual route" into the train. I can't comment on the unusual route, but if you shoot someone at point blank range, it means that you could have avoided the shooting also.

So is the Kashmir incident. Did the RR guys even once try to stop those people & search them, maybe that would have saved 4 lives? Or is it that being trigger-happy can solve the problem of terrorism?

The third incident is what happened yesterday, and has shaken my faith in the law enforcement agency, that calls itself "Police". Does being a policeman means you can round people up and beat them like hell?? Yes, the mob had gone unruly, but then its the job of the police to control the mob, not to remove their frustration by beating them up?? The job of the police is to "PROTECT", but they seem to think that their job is to dominate, not protect. Of course, their are honest policeman, whom every Indian must be proud of, but it is incidents like these that shakes the common man's perception of the law enforcement agencies..

There may be an opinion, that says, "Hey, every war has some collateral damage". Yes, but try explaining it to the mother of that innocent brazilian, shot 5 times, by people supposed to protect him.

His mistake: Wearing a thick coat on a hot day......

My Diary Updated

Hi

I have updated my diary...a must read post....check it out.

coherent rambling

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBB....

You know what s that ??? It means long time no c(see)...

Ok Ok bad return joke...

Feels so nice to write again, after a long break from blogging...though this break broke much of my back....anyways enough breaks for now!!!

Last few days were hectic, and office seemed hotter than hell (OK I dont know what hell's like, but college labs wualify enough). Now with a lot of work behind my back, i'll finally get some rest...

And somehow i think this work has had some effect on my brain ( what, did i hear you say its non-existant???)... but i m not sure.

I'll be posting more regularly now, to restore some level of sanity ( at least ).

Also i am planning for a series of BREVIEWS, that is, reviews of some of the blogs i read, why i read them, what i like about them etc.

And that will be the next post...

till then, have a great time.

ciao.

Blog-breakers

Yeah that's right. blog-breakers- Those bloggers taking a break from the blog world.

This is an increasingly large community, with members being added everyday.

I am glad to announce the existence of this community. It seems that lots of bloggers(including yours truly) are taking breaks from the blog world, for reasons unknown.

Why? Work Pressure? Blogger Block? ET forces?

I have no answers.

adios

P.S The author has gone back to his blogger-break for an indefinite period now. Though he will be consistently bugging other active bloggers thru his vegetative state.
Any one willing to join the blog-breakers community is requested to leave a comment at this post. Maybe there will be a post listing all bloggers taking this break.

I .... WILL....BE.....BACK

in a week's time....

just hang on ...........
