been some time since i last blogged here.couldn't find the time since my blogging mood swings has been quite weird lately. i consider baring2 on my comfy bed as 'busy' time, or in other words, yeah im now officially 'jobless'.
anyway,i guess we've all heard about the recent case where a boy was shot dead by police after trying to run away. if you havent, its either ure overseas or ure just an ignorant bastard who deserves to have a bullet through his head. yeah aku emo mlm ni thanks to liverpool.

the car involved in the incident.so the reason why i decided to blog about this is because of the thousands of comments flying around about how 'kejam' the police were,that police malaysia 'suka' bunuh orang,yada yada yada.. and i just got sick of listening to those. Some of these people dont even check on their facts before spurting out gooey stuffs from thier mouths.
the truth is,no one really knew what happened that night but the report went something like this.
En police was on duty patrolling in his powerful but with a faulty power window proton waja. he receives a call about a car which refused to stop after being ordered to do so a few times. and since the caller was only riding a police motorcycle,he called for backup to chase after the speeding car.
En police who was patrolling nearby, an area where break-ins were as frequent as liverpools losses this season, stepped on the pedal in pursuit of the so called white proton iswara. En police spots the iswara and gave chase turning on the sirens and the extremely cool flashing lights, the white iswara sped off going through a series of red lights.
En police took this seriously since this was a typical criminal-style getaway. En Police and his co-driver En Cop lined up their vehicle with the iswara and fired at the tyres to disable the vehicle after repeated calls to stop went unheeded. three tyres were shot and after giving each other a high five, the iswara veered of to the side of the road and into a tree. the left passenger door opened and a guy ran out of the car into the darkness.
En Police,En cop and En Mata approached the vehicle cautiously since the driver was still in the car. Being a police, En Cop has been trained to be ready for any possibilities as the guy in the car could be an armed criminal or a psychotic freak.
As En Cop reached the rear of the car, all of a sudden, the car reversed into him and instinctively he fired a shot and the car went dead. upon checking, the driver turns out to be a 15 year old kid! and so begins the public outrage..so..this was the closest thing i could get to a report of what happened that night. i am not biased in any way since no one knows what really happened that night. i repeat.NO ONE KNOWS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED that night. So why the hell bash the police for what they did? What would happen if the police was the guy who got killed by the reversing car? would anyone say that the kid was kejam? or the iswara was kejam? it was tragic that the innocent boy had to die under such circumstances, but no one can blame the cop for what he did. he was doing what any human being or even animals would do.having the instinct to defend himself. again, it was sad that the victim was a kid BUT would it be half as sad if the policeman lost his life that night?
its annoying to read about the various I HATE POLICE facebook pages blablabla. again i would like to stress that im not on anyones side in this case but i just think that the police has been unfairly judged based on this events. worse is when u come across arguements like:
1) The police shouldnt have opened fire. He shouldnt fire unless fired upon.This i have to say, is one of the funniest arguements ive heard in so many years. So you actually have to wait for someone to fire at you before you can fire back?
"HOI PEROMPAK! saya polis! Tembak saya cepat! Saya nak tembak awak balik!!"
BANNGGGG~!
glad to comply.. >)ok..this is even funnier..imagine yourself being behind of a white aeroback iswara reversing into you. you have 0.2 seconds to react and a tiny window to shoot through. Do u aim for the middle finger of his right hands?no..u shoot to defend yourself or ure dead!
go for the pinkie!!go for the pinkie!!ok..this is what hollywood does to kids these days. they think everyone has the ability to shoot a target behind a person by swerving their guns or just by doing a macho aiming face ala mark wahlberg.
doing it hollywood style...
4) alaa.imagine if the kid was one of your family members..ok this has gone from a cerita kedai kopi tu a cerita budak taska dalam jamban. Ask yourself what if the policeman who got run over by a car driven by a kid without a license was your dad! still, this is a ridiculous question to start with..
5) But the boy was innocent and he was unarmed!!oh yeah,i forgot..the police keeps track of everyones whereabouts using foursquare. and please note that theres no way the cops could know that the driver was a kid. plus, in this case, the car was the weapon since it could cause harm to the policeman.
this is not considered unarmed in case you were wondering.obviously the kid did a big mistake in running away from the police and not stopping even after hes tyres were busted. He wasnt driving a james bond BMW or an aston martin. maybe this was all due to our frequent brainwashing sessions, scaring kids with police stories.
"adik tak cuci bontot mak panggil polis!"
the most the kid could get from driving without license was detention or something lighter. But because he tried to runaway and literally being at the wrong place at the wrong time.he lost his life. its a pity but for god sake, until the full report is out,
STOP BLAMING THE GODDAMN POLICE!!THEY ARE JUST DOING THEIR JOBS!!
