More News about rouge cops
From Inquirer - Is there a syndicate of rogue cops
We saw a coverage on the budget hearing where the top officers of PNP were grilled by the Congress budget committee. One solon asked the following questions:
1. Is this an isolated case? (Why were the entire staff of a police station involved?
2 Is this part of the culture/mindset of police officers policeman?
3. Is this a normal practice for police to be in this kind of activities and normally tolerated.
While those in the hearing denied that it is not so, and a small number are involved in this, what surprised me was that there were police generals in the coop for wrong doing. What? Police generals? What does this mean - that the answer to 2 and 3 are correct since no less than the senior officers are doing this?
Former Senator Ping Lacson and PNP chief says that PNP is due for deep cleansing.
The officers are appealing to the public to still think that 1 was true and the rest of the "kapulisan" struggle for high ideals (I know some ordinary PO have multi million pesos house and many ride to work no longer in jeeps but in cars)
Well who can blame people in authority, with guns and power over life and death of individuals not to allocate themselves small amounts compared to hundreds of millions of pork being enjoyed by the honorable guys who were grilling the poor cops on the street.
