Too many police mischiefs in the news lately.
1. Police Chief in warwick is charged with unequal behavior under the law.For charging a federal prosecuter(sullivan)DUI with only refusing to take the breath analyser test and not with DUI as it has done with all the other citizens on the same day.Now the chief has done about face as publicity has been too much to ignore.Shame on them.Now it comes to light Mr sullivan was arrested in South carolina for DUI.
2. Releasing personel data of a fire fighter to public causing harm to fireman.This was also done by the police chief of Johnston RI. Reckless chief.
3. Cronism in central falls including appointment of police chief as warden for for profit prison in town to increase power of the mayor and his cronies .He meither has expertise or the experience. It is a great way to cover up the flaws of the town administration which can not fund schools.Harasses citizens ,has curfew for the youth and city sposored boarding of the buildings at exhorbitant amount of money.
4. Now story of black person who had pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation.Was picked up by Providence police on suspicion of breaking into RISDI dorm and altercation with RISDI police.This person was brutalised and sent to hospital and then transfered to ACI for probation violations. He was also found guilty yeasterday of battery against RISDI police.
Rodney king saga lives in RI.His family was kept in dark ,police report had no names of officer and what transpired till this week a video showes u of Police officers kicking him while he is in hand cuffs.Another Rodney King incident they were all innocent till the video showed up .Nothing happened .
Shame on us that we allow this to happen to us.Police have a difficult job but it does not give them right to abuse citizens .They are not judge jury and the executioner. They should obey the law.

Pakistans lawless police
Tragedy of Pakistan is that it's police has become like the Taliban. According to reports in the media more than 650 people are reported missing in the country.Most of these missing people are picked up by police or intelligence agencies of the country without recourse or information . These agencies hold these people and torture them sometimes release them for ransom( as it is not always clear who are the abductors).
Taliban abduct people including officials and police for ransom and exchange of prisoners and at times to terrorise the public.As many important political abducts have died or are killed in police custody and their bodies are dumped .In the process respect for the law has vanished in many parts of society who are on the fringes to begin with.
It is important that uniform police procedure be implemented and when government and its agencies arrest people (it should be with knowledge of courts)they should not be allowed to kidnap or abduct people .
Un identified Police acting like Goons has no place in society, which want to be representative of the citizens.By acting professionally and in public interest police forces can garner the support of the ordinary citizens which is essential for law and order.
IT IS ALWAYS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE CIVILIAN CONTROL OF THE UNIFORMED FORCES.

Henri Gates ,Cambridge police and POTUS
POTUS(president of the united states)interfered and remarked off the cuff about the arrest of a black historian and famous professor of black studies Professor Henri Gates of Harvard University .
He is guilty by default by taking national attention away from the critical issues of the nation to unimportant may be personal issue which touched him .
His choice of words were regrettable but very accurate.Yes it was stupid for police department to arrest a highly placed professor after he identified himself and from his home because he behaved not in the way police expected him to .In 2009 ,American citizens behave badly and may ask policemen to identify themselves in not most polite way and for every other problem a police officer is having with his personal life and job should protect the citizens from being arrested to just make some point that police can . We are not a police state.
Any experienced police officer knows that arresting a thief who stole a loaf of bread and prosecuting to full extent of the law will neither reduce crime or give bread to hungry.It can only make the system overload itself and self destruct because the cost and work load without the wanted effort.
This arrest of Dr Gates is a costly mistake every body involved recognises and would like to forget.Improper comment of police officer were not warranted , when he was asked to comment on presidents statement he said he did not vote for him, which is more a comment on his voting rather than presidents staement.He was asked these questions as he was the arresting officer of Gates.. It was statement not becoming of a police Sargent naturally he may be excused he is not POTUS or Harvard professor.
