Here's another example of police brutality. But before we raise our fingers blaming the cops, please look through and listen to the video first, and then you can decide whether you want to condemn this or not. Just one note; imagine if that guy's victim is your wife (or daughter, or sister), won't you be doing the same thing as these cops (if not more)?
I condemn police brutality when it comes to political issue, that is firm. But this one is criminal issue. I'm not saying that I would commend this violent act by the cops. We did witness (or heard) several occasions where detainee was dead in the lock-up.
But look at the excerpts from what the cops said in the video:
- "Why did you do that to somebody's wife?"
- "It's lucky enough that you're getting it here, if we leave you to those people (who caught you), you might be dead by now"
- "Be thankful this is Malaysia, if this is an Arab country, you'd be sentenced to death"
Once again, I'm not in favor of violence. But the first time I watched this video, the thoughts such as 'this b*****d does not deserve to live', 'if somebody did that to my wife, i might ask the cops to trash him more than this' did pass through my mind. And while writing this post, I'm still trying to justify those passing thoughts, and it is hard to do. We are all human, after all.
So, am I pro or against this kind of police brutality? I do hope that I am against, but I'm not too sure...
Oh, yes... compare that video with this picture:
The scenes look similar, but one is a criminal; the other is innocent... one is thinking about satisfying his lust; the other is thinking about having justice for his people... one had been kicked; the other had been kicked, beaten with baton, sprayed with chemicals and shot with tear gas...
