This is mere<br>\nrhetoric. It proves that the police's attitude remains unchanged<br>\nin this era of transparency. Therefore, the police, both<br>\nindividually and institutionally, need to introspect in carrying<br>\nout all their duties. They should uphold the law, not trample it.<\/p>\n<p>SUGENG PRIHATIN<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
