98% of maldives police force consist of very poorly educated or in some cases un educated men and women. These people are uncivilized and lack general knowledge wich leads to lack of discipline and responsibility.
Some police men who became barbaric told mr nasheedh left them on the streets to control the 13 nights of protest of ppm and drp. During this time whole force was on alert n they had to be on duty most hours a day. police blamed nasheedh for forgetting they had families and needed free time...which led hatred and anger in these medieval under developed police thugs who joined the protest later on to overthrow nasheedh as president..
I wonder why they got mad for bin on the streets several hours everynite doing there duty. They arepaid with the peoples money to do this job. Whats the meaning of riot police???
Its time the government started literating these medieval barbarians.
