This article is a serious venting of frustration on the way police personnel treat common public especially in the events of a silent protest for some injustice. First and foremost example being the recent lathi charge on a protest from teachers in which even the women were beaten brutally. And 'Animal behavior' was the right term used by court to quote such an inhuman act by the police who tried to reason that they were on duty and were just executing their orders. Article tries to reason with a similar logic that when police could listen so willfully to their orders why would they not listen to their own conscience to use physical assault on those protesters whom they think are causing public nuisance through silence. while executing their superiors orders how can they forget that its ok to conduct lathi charge on women under the name of law.
Article then gives us all the happening which were tried by many organisation in the past 7 decades to implement and bring reform into such ruthless hearts of policemen but in vain. it suggests that though many reforms have been put forward and were assured by the respective state government that they will be implemented never came true and all these reforms remained in papers.
Article ends with a impatient note that such attitude in the Police will not only degrade their value in a common man's mind but will also eventually loss of trust in the society where public are the easy targets for terrorists, politicians and not to mention heartless police who would not back out to charge any person irrespective of age, gender and cause.
