- I think you don't realise the gravity of the situation in HK.
-
- Criminals are desperate and they won't give a second glance in killing you.
- When you are doing a raid, you will surely be highly strung; your life and
- your friend's lives are at stake.
-
- You can't have this nagging thought in your mind when you are on a raid...
- " Should I apprehend this guy with force or ask him if he is a criminal first?"
-
- If you aren't 100% committed in what you are doing, it may cost you your life.
- This kind of statement about liberty ... isn't reflected in the criminals.
- Criminals don't play by the rules, if they did then catching them would be much
- easier and no one will be hurt.
-
-
- I am not saying that we should act like the criminals to catch them, but we
- must take a much more stronger stance in apprehending them. If they see that
- we make allowances then they will always have an advantage over the legal
- system.
-
- Criminal activities will always be with us, as is the legal system that
- tries to uphold law and order.
-
-
- "What is right and what is wrong...?"
-
-
- Kam :-)
-
- P.S. I can easily write the opposite in the next article, which shows that
- there are really no real sure answers to such a debate.
- Life is like a massive program with millions of bugs... once you fixed
- one, another ten appears!
