Prisoners take Policemen Hostage

Greetings!!


This is in reference to a news titled, "Prisoners take policemen hostage at Larkana prison"

I believe our law enforcement agencies need security for themselves now. With the brutality they practice against the prisoners, it is inevitable that this news will be repeatedly reported. If these policemen had treated their jail residents like humans, I believe this would never have happened in the first place. It is an eye-opener for the oppressors - when the oppressed are left with nothing to lose, they become most vulnerable. And in a situation like this, the oppressor ends up having everything to lose.


This particular incident, though remarkably violent, has lessons for everyone who takes heed from it. A policeman died as a result of the prisoners' outburst. Several were injured who tried to contain these wild prisoners. But the fact remains, these policemen have high involvement in making them wild in the first place.


Peace.
