LAst time, I and a few frens decided to stop by the roadside near by my place around 1 am just to sembang2. Then 2 police in kancil came to check us and our IC. They were carrying machine gun some more.
Anyway, they were quite polite and I actually appreciate them being vigilant and looking out coz my house area had a lot of robberies happening- on 3 of my neighbours got tied up, lucky nothing more serious.
Not all police are rude/bad. IMHO, I think it's ok if they check on anybody's car that looks suspicious- think what would happen if they just don't care about any car that looks suspicious. A lot of crime may go on unchecked.
No reason for them to be rude tho.
I know Msian police has been called many things, but I think we should all try to put ourselves in their shoes:
1. They are paid peanuts.
2. Their job requires them to risk their lives.
3. The job is really shitty - very highly overworked, no fixed hours, have to deal with very unpleasant people n criminals, can be transferred all over Msia, having to deal with public's bad opinion of them etc etc.
4. They also have families and lives, but sacrifice a lot to try to protect OUR families and lives.
