The problem with the Police is that they are undertrained, underpaid, mostly uneducated and that the government just doesn't care.

Becoming a police officer is for many young men not a dream but just a way out; It's something they did just because they had nothing better going on in their lives. It's just a ****ty job you turn to because there was nothing else better. You are literally giving authority and a gun to the worst person possible.

For example, I had a neighbor whose son tried getting into college and failed, tried a couple of other things and failed too. In the end, he just decided to join the police.

Many officers are not knowledgeable on laws, procedures and handling evidence and many of the ones who are, just don't care much . They will tell you how unfair the Penal Procedure code is and how great it was that in the old days you could just torture or smack a confesion out of a criminal and solve the case "quick and easy."

The police needs to be restructured. It should be a real carreer that people look up to. It should require a good set of qualifications and skills for people to be accepted and provide quality education and training and a good salary and benefits so that officials could be able to support their families.

What the government spends on "botellas" and city hall payrolls for people who actually do not do anything, could very well be spent on restructuring the Police Forces.

The Problem is, most politicians don't care!
