Policemen are cool...

i can't recall exactly the time, but there had been an incident in UK, where a policemen pushed an old man down, and rumors said that the old man actually died from a heart attack. then, there is another footage which shows a female protester who got hit in the thigh because she was only protesting.

later, people made a huge deal out of these cases. i thought, and i still think, is that necessary? first of all, i don't think the old man died from the fall over. God knows how he died, but i'm pretty sure that rumors had it all gotten wrong. there were people protesting in your area, around you physically, were you still going out for a stroll? or just to see if someone else would get hurt, instead of you? it's like you're actually going to the seaside to witness a tsunami coming towards you! did you think that you had lived long enough? if yes, then you can just bury yourself up. saves us the trouble and it's good for environment. if not, then what the hell are you doing in the middle of a chaotic situation?

and for the female protester, she even sold her story to the newspaper agency for quite a sum of money. after that, she even got interviewed for that. for goodness sake, she is a PROTESTER! do you know that sometimes, protesters can get as dangerous as terrorists? do you need to wait for them to hurt you first, only then you are allowed to defend yourself? so if you can't see if she is armed or not, you still have to go through the procedure to check her whole body first, in the middle of a protest? did you guys see how aggressive she looked in the footage?

i don't understand the world nowadays anymore. those policemen are trying their best to withhold a protesting crowd. anyone of them might get hurt by the protesters. a policeman got hurt during his duty VS a protester got hurt in her protest. who do you think deserves to be hurt more? pleas stop thinking if you are the protester that got hit. someone please think in the position of the policeman. in the protest, you were outnumbered, and surrounded by furiously excited protesters. are you going to ask them to settle down, with PLEASE?

and let's say, if the policeman does got hurt by the female protester, is he going to show the world the footage that he was allegedly assaulted by a anonymous female protester which is recorded by his colleague who just happen to record the event during their duties? he might got disabled, or even killed, leaving his old parents, wife, kids on their own since then. is the world going to be as pitiful on the victims as compared to the assaulted female protester? is the news agency going to buy his story of bravery and is his family members going to get interviewed on tv? probably, but definitely not as probable as the female protester who got all the fame and cash.

honestly, think it through. the policeman ended up getting sacked. do you still want to be a policeman after you read this news? a research also shows that on average in Australia, there are more policemen getting assaulted on TGI Friday nights compared to earlier times. with their salary, do you think you are going to become a policeman with all the risks? even if you are given the best insurance policy included in your work, many of us still wounldn't choose to become a policeman. we have our reasons to do so, that's not difficult to understand at all. but have you actually thought of those who undertook all the risks to protect the neighborhood from protesters and criminals and etc who would endanger our normal, daily lives?

CHERISH! before your adrenaline rushes up to your head again, take a deep breath and think carefully, who are the trouble makers? who are protecting you? who are doing the jobs that you don't like to do? i don't want to end up carrying a gun with me to protect myself here in Australia, because all the policemen resigned their jobs as their jobs are just too tough to handle. i hope the day that you wish the policeman will be back on the streets, holding off the angry mob won't come...
