As I mentioned, the police considers itself more of a praetorian guard for the ruling party than a protector of ordinary citizens.KTemochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951253039042572381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-1142227682906302212006-03-13T13:28:00.000+08:002006-03-13T13:28:00.000+08:00I've seen the aussie police handling rioters.

Police just do what they do, uohold the law. It was getting unruly when people started burning flags.<BR/><BR/>Chlorine is a chemical, should we blame the govt for poisoning Malaysians? Chemical-laced water is nothing unless you tell us what chemical it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-1142026268817324892006-03-11T05:31:00.000+08:002006-03-11T05:31:00.000+08:00The FRU are conditioned to be crowd bashers.
