Double standards yet again!

Sorry I cant hear! Sorry I cant see! Sorry I cant speak!
The events at the Brickfields police station yesterday illustrates the true meaning of the words "double standards". Funny how if you are from a certain group/race then you are free to roam the streets and shout yourselves hoarse. Never mind the fact that you happen to incite violence or even advocate physical harm to achieve your ambitions. Even when some in this country go lodge police reports numbering more than a hundred against a certain member of Parliament the boys in blue are happy to oblige and record them down.
But if you are aligned to some other group/race then there is this perceived bias in the actions of the boys in blue. Just see what happened to some of the people who wanted to lodge police reports calling for proper medical treatment for ISA detainee Uthayakumar. The crowds reportedly numbering a few hundred were dispersed with water cannons and some were even arrested! If this does not say DOUBLE STANDARDS then I don't know what does.
Those thugs from UMNO youth that accosted and abused Karpal Singh at Parliament are still free to walk the streets. The police have even been accused of not affording Mr Karpal any assistance. Mr Khairy and his gang had demonstrated in Ipoh recently inciting violence but strangely none were arrested nor sprayed with water canons . Then there is that clown i.e the former MB from Selangor . Didn't he and his gang demonstrate and walk the streets of Penang recently ? How many were arrested and charged or even sprayed by water cannons ? Yup you guessed right...NONE! Why ah ? Why ah? Why ah?
Why the double standards ?
