@True Muslim Paki:
Police gets criticized because they’ve always been involved in every kind of corruption with the government. We feel sorry for the death of this police officer but those innocent people who’re losing their lives in target killings are also human beings and the killers just manage to escape (police?). Now police at least should do something to save themselves if not innocent people. If police department were sincere enough to perform their responsibilities, we wouldn’t be facing so much terrorism and violence.
