One of the most hated professional in our country is the Policeman. I vote to disband the whole police (useless) force and deploy rangers in the city with strict anti bribe measures in place. At least the rangers look up to the task as evident from the lack of pot-bellies and slouching posture commonly found on the people(police) we depend on to keep us safe.Recommend
The solution to dysfunctional institutions is reform, not handing them over to the Army. If the Rangers (manned by Army officers) is the solution to a decrepit police force, what is next? Should we once again, hand over the entire country to the military? Haven’t we learned anything from the disasters wreaked by over three decades of army rule?
The army has weakened civilian institutions, primarily to project itself as the ultimate guardian of internal order and external security.Recommend
