The people of Pakistan and the Police

It does not surprise me the way Pakistani police and the intelligence covert operatives in civilian clothes have manhandled the innocent simple citizens of Pakistan, especially when I have not only seen it all with my own eyes but have been beaten up and locked in jail by the Pakistani police, only for not having a drivers license. But keeping Musharraf's position aside, I am sure he wouldn't have even known whats happening to his people until he saw it all himself, then he must've asked his allies what are they doing and they must've said, Sir, don't you worry, we will take care of everything, the situation is under control, so what if we are beating up women and children. And then being helpless as he must have been, he may have gone silent, to find alternatives to the dangerously deteriorating situation in Pakistan, which by any chance is not new but at least six decades old. The people who know the currents and the under-current know it all so well. So maybe, he did know, does that matter now? has it ever mattered? Things will only change when the entire collective soul of every single Pakistani, especially the poor ones, will scream out loud, only then change will come.

The brutality of the police action does not stop here, even though they are cruel enough to cowardly attack women, children, the youth, old and weak, with buttocks and guns, but I am sure if the youth and other student organizations, and the average Pakistani, if they all would've picked up arms and ammunition against the police and the internal Pakistani CIA operatives, then things would've been very different.

When I saw Zaid's Documentary " Missing in Pakistan", that very impressively highlights the 500 plus missing people in Pakistan, which you can find here, and in that excellent documentary when you see the shot where a Pakistani police man is pulling two young girls from their hair and then dragging those innocent little girls down the floor in front of other people, at that time, I asked myself, If I had a gun, and would've walked up to that police man and had asked him to let the girls go free, with my gun pointing straight at him, what would he have done?? On second thoughts, if he wouldn't have listened to me, and wanted to show how strong he is and would have tried to attack me, would I have pulled the trigger?

Maybe I would have..., because the way police in Pakistan works is very different compared to the police of the rest of the world. They don't talk, they just attack, and to be fair with statistics, at least 99% of them do. No police man in Pakistan will ever be thankful that it was my paid taxes out of my hard earned legal money that he gets his pay check. His pay check might be small but it did come from somewhere, even though my pay check was small too but I still had to pay my taxes and that police man did get paid, so why is he attacking a simple hard working average fellow Pakistani who did nothing wrong but help that same police man get his salary. Well, thats simply because of ass kissing. Because in Pakistan the only way to climb the ladder of success is to pick balls or butt kiss, and thats what most of the police men were doing on the streets of Pakistan during and after the state of emergency organized by a state in an emergency, they were all simply impressing their superiors. In their own words they were saying, look at this Sir, look at what we are doing for you, whatever your wish is, that is our command. And that means, during the killing spree executed by the police and the intelligence operatives, they might have ended up killing their own family members as well.

I wonder when the Pakistanis in power and the powerless Pakistanis will stop to ponder on this thought, that since the day Pakistan was created she and her people have always been used and abused as buffer-zone inductees and slave camp laborers, brainwashed to battle each other, in order for others to take advantage of the position, location and the situation in Pakistan.

God help the people and may the people help themselves and others.
