Why?

Could his death been avoided?

I am astounded by the silly remarks that the soon to be retiring IGP is quoted to be saying in the mass media today! If I read him correctly we the general public should just keep our mouths shut and not express any views on this sad case. But why Sir? I don't get it! We the members of the general public genuinely feel outraged by this poor boy's death. To state " If people do not want the law to be enforced, then I shall instruct my men to refrain from stopping cars or from illegal racers". I wonder just how this man was ever promoted to be the IGP in the first place!

Boss....There are so many questions and very few answers. Why the need for the police to shoot? Were there no other alternatives to subdue the boy? Is there truth amongst some conspiracy theorists that the police these days just simply don't care and that there is a policy that dictates shoot first and ask questions later?

And every time some thing like this happens the powers that be would come out with utter nonsense by stating " Kita akan siasat semua. Kita tak sebunyikan apa-apa! Biar pihak polis siasat dulu perkara ini "

Tell you what..... I am sick and tired of hearing nonsense like this. The police stands accused of a wrongful act and what happens? The police is "siasating" This is simply devoid of any logical sense. Simply absurd I dare say.

What is needed in the circumstances is for an independent body to investigate the matter and to resolve the matter expeditiously in an unbiased and professional manner. We don't need and simply do not want the police to investigate its own members.
