supercops

The workload of the law enforcer has increased tremendously. Beating a lecturer or an advocate occasionally would certainly increase it further. There are already attempts to reduce their burden. The netas are wielding batons and thrashing their rivals and the scribes to pulp or else this job would also have to be done by the police to please their political masters. As a thresher lessened the burden of farmers, a thrashing one might remove the toil of the police. Modernization of the police force should include sanctioning of such machines. The police may also be asked to keep themselves away from the durbars that settle civil disputes. This will reduce their burden a little. Some have already delegated this task to the mafia or the pseudo naxals. A few officers add to the burden by expressing their feeling of insecurity- who else could provide them security, when the threat it self is from their colleagues! Do they need a separate agency to settle the disputes among themselves? The burden seems to be so severe that an officer forgets to hand over the arms confiscated from a criminal. Even the Academies are also offering an excellent training to face the challenges -riots and thefts have found a place in their programme of study. Prospective police officers seemed to have attended practice sessions in the art of thrashing people for selling cigarettes in black market! Perhaps their curriculum includes such events as hands-on experience to the future super cops.
