And on and on it goes. Story after story about inappropriate, criminal or plain inhuman actions by our terrible and sadistic police force. Indonesia's police are totally out of control. Always corrupt, they are now taking over our lives and the country. The government seems powerless to control the gangsters and nazi bullies who are in charge of the police. The President is alone responsible, he knew exactly who and what National Police chief Timur Pradopo is when he handed him his prize. It was a totally selfish act, and he completely and cynically betrayed the people when SBY alone promoted Timur into the top job, ignoring all other recommendations put to him. It was like a reward for Timur from SBY.

If this goes on much longer, I see blood on the streets across the nation. Remember that the police have given themselves the right to shoot and kill almost at will.

Who is there to save Indonesia?

Lack of strong moral leadership in the government and police is taking it's toll.

This is a secular democracy and these girls are free to wear shorts if they please.

Maybe there are some real criminals out there who should be pursued, or maybe they are even closer to home.

A police force that tortures 2 teenage suspects to death and call it double suicides to cover it up have no business being the moral police. In fact there's so many things wrong with them it's probably easier to fire the whole lot and start over.

Gender based violence raising it's head again. Please read the article on the Afghan girl in conjunction with this. Here is an example where Women are the victim and yet are abused by others for the simple act of living on equal terms with men. The violence here is that the police instead of providing support and protection are encouraging GBV by the act of telling women that they, the victim, are provoking attack. The Police should be encouraging women to be free to walk down any street or at any event in any way they choose. I understand clearly the motives of appropriate dress, but in cases like this the hidden agenda that even the police women themselves may not realize is that women are open game for violence. And hiding behind voluminous clothes will not change the mentality of those who commit the horrors. Education and support of women respect and fair treatment will. treat the women in your lives with respect on a new level and see our world change.

girls wearing shorts: bad

police officer fires weapon next to man's ear: no problems.
