Basically it seems that the essence of my post did not pass scrutiny. Didn't I say that they were only following orders? Did I not point out the pettiness of a complaint over something minor. The sadness reflected was not over the arrests. It was over the fact that they have to do what others may see to be distasteful. That the quarrel between different ideologies of two camps of a nation had led them to their job whatever their reservations. They are human too in case it's forgotten, with their own perceptions and prejudices. My remarks about service standards are personal experiences as well as reports from the media. It is one of disappointment and loss of confidence and not of disdain. How can it be when I was one of them for a short period.
I had known and admired many good officers but had encountered many that I've prayed they would not cause too much damage all round.
I hope this clears things up. Yes, I agree they should not be swept in as part of the political quarrels but will there be honour among adversaries to play by those rules?
