i really feel bad at how the police is easily becoming the whipping boy and object of scorn. i wish to state though that their dismal state of skills is a result of the lack of support from the politicians and bureaucrats who've consumed their budgets and have opted to spend these for useless waiting sheds with their initials or worse, for their lincoln navigators or hummers.

sa mga pulis who were doing the assault, yes, you have become the laughing stock of the world. but i still salute you.  and while there is still bases for the general public to criticize you,  you, the frontliners, did your best given the meager training available. it is easy to judge from afar and in safety but it took guts to still charge knowing full well that the possibility of not returning to your families alive that night was very high.
