Not all policemen are bad

Not all policemen are bad

From Pikiran Rakyat

Basofi Sudirman once sang a song that began with the line,
"not all men." But, if I was Doel Sumbang, I would certainly have
swooned, "not all policemen." I have recently had a positive
experience with the police.

One day in late March, my young brother and I went downtown.
For some reason of late, we have been subjected to many songs
about the police. It is as if all that is related to this
department is bad, such as extortion, bashings, and aggressive
behavior, and other unpleasant practices.

But on that day, we met a young, handsome, and neatly clad
policeman, who treated my brother and I in a friendly manner. He
was softly spoken, and this touched me on the inside. I could not
find any negative traits in this man.

Much public prejudice surrounds the police, but this man made
me realize that amongst the few bad policemen, there are many
good ones.

We must not cast judgment on the entire force.

For Doel Sumbang, how about composing a song called: Not all
the policemen?
