Dear Gopal Sengupta
I agree you 100% . Police worldwide are never friends of the people with few exception may be ? They(Police) are the "Lathial Bahini of party in power it is well known. We have seen many Police,para military forces,special bahini since 1971 and thousands and thousands young people lost their lives. This has specific referenc to the Awami League created "Rakhkhi Bahini" and SP Mahbub's specially bahini !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The police was used mercilessly by all the successive governments after democracy was re-established after over thrown of the Bishaw Behaia ershaidda.
Most tragic was the comment of the then PM Hasina in Sangsad that a BNP women activists willfully therw her Anchal to demonstrate her...........(obnoxus comment) ? This was the comment when PM's attention was drawn by the MP's regarding a photo news that male police was snatching a women's "Anchal" on the street while she was excerising her fundemental rights by demonstrating against misrule of the sitting govt.
So, friends unless we do not bring a whole scale change in our political direction and philosophy and attitude that no coercive measure would be persued against any law abiding citizen who are showing their dissention in a peacfull manner. There must large scale reforms in the up bringing of the Police force.
Unless we really seriously give preference to the national agenda over our personal or party's agenda we will remain as savage as we wish to be.
Greetings

Police are predators, not protectorsCustodians of the law put on a mask of brutality in university teachers and students. Most of the detained students were severely assaulted by the law enforcers in the name of remand. All the freed students, especially the ones who are now free only on bail, were showing visceral fear of law enforcing agencies when journalists were asking them about their experiences in detention.
Rafiqul Islam Sujon, who was sweating even in the winter morning, was also struggling hard to stand upright. On Monday, he was taken to a hospital for treatment. He was having problem breathing yesterday amid the festivities, and was stumbling as he tried to walk. Blood was oozing out of his mouth as he was trying to speak. Sujon however said it felt good to be free. "But I can't talk much, it's very painful for me to talk now," he said in a faint voice with much effort.
Another freed student Liton Mahmud said Shahbagh police tortured him, after he had been taken to the police station. He had been arrested by Bhoirob police on September 8 and was handed over to Shahbagh police. "Police tortured me and broke the pinky on my left hand. They did not even arrange for my broken finger's treatment. As I managed to get medical attention myself they even took away the medical documents."Once again, students experiences have exposed the horror hollows of our men in uniform. What is it that makes the protectors called police, turn predators? Are meagre salaries, long working hours, pathetic working conditions, the state's apathy towards the force responsible for turning them into savage beasts? Or is it the kick that a policemen derive from donning their uniform, knowing fully well that they have an edge over ordinary citizens, that draws out the power-hungry beast in them? Why not we blame the government for the insensitivity of our police force?Gopal SenguptaCanada
