Hmm. can't agree with what that article said as well. so since they are poor cops they don't have to risk their lives for people who have NO means of defending themselves?(tourists) who have ZERO training? who don't have any weapons whatsoever?
imho the moment they signed up for that, they have to realize that they will inevitably have to get into situations like that and that they have to eventually put their lives on the line-regardless if the have family or not. it's their responsibility to tell their family "hey i'm a cop, I will have to risk my life once in a while". The cops have guns, not for show or for a symbol of authority, but for the reason that they will eventually have to pull the trigger when the lives of the people they are supposed to protect are on the line. being untrained, under equipped, or even unfit is NOT an excuse.
tbh, my mom said the exact same thing to me last night. Although I agree that it's hard to say anything when you are in your couch being comfy, the article reeks of the "malasakit" mindset that is spoiling the people in this country, and has really failed us since it was conceptualized. To be able to reall get things moving in this country, a bit of harshness and bravado is SO needed for the people who have been basking in their freedom for too long.
