Rogue cops

The failed abduction of an indian national by alleged members of the quezon city police have raised eyebrows on the hierarchy of the PNP. It is also lamentable - the fact that one of their fellow policeman from Pasay who responded on the scene have been shot repeatedly in order to seal off their nefarious activity. Sr. Inspector Apolinario should not only be commended but promoted as well being the sole witness in the alleged crime. Policemen from quezon city had once hit the headline regarding the carnapping fiasco that left a number of innocent civilians dead a year ago. Punishment ranges from administrative sanctions, deregulation of duties but seldom expulsion from the service. How can someone expect their commitment to the service if every now and then we see rogue cops being sought for their undisciplinary acts and crimes to the people?
