aNYa Blogs!: There was a time

There was a time

I feel less of a man today. There was a time when my blood boiled when I read about atrocities like this. Now, sadly .. I have been reduced to a person who no longer feels as angry and ashamed as before. This is a case of the utmost contempt .. which showcases the abuse of power by some in the police force. About how the police can turn some innocent's life into a living hell and how we as a nation are helpless to do anything about it. About how such incidences have so impregnated our lives, that we no longer feel surprised and indignated by them. Now, when I read the news .. all I can think of is 'bullshit .. let me see the policemen get punished, fined, jailed first'. So many times has the system been abused, so many times have the guilty gone unpunished that now it seems 'just another incident'.
Read the news, see if your blood boils. It does, I hope.
