These guys should shoot the Thugs who are roaming around not the innocent people. And the police should chase and catch not by shooting.. via DM Android App

Drunken Policemen with guns in hand are similar to monkeys having a knives in hand .Are these traffic cops on night duty checked by their superior officers for intoxication ?

Our police force has become a murderous force full of Dirty Harrys.

It seems this officer of the law has only been trained to shoot at stationary targets and not the moving ones.
Does seem rather strange.
