WHO IS GOOD & WHO IS BAD AMONGST US ALL — FOOD FOR THOUGHT FOR ALL.

Rajendra Dhar 
POLICE WATCH INDIA (Regd. NGO).


AT A RECENTLY CHANCED MEETING WITH A COUPLE OF SENIOR POLICE OFFICERS THE UNDERSIGNED OBSERVED THAT A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION WAS THAT SO & SO POLICE OFFICER IS A GOOD OFFICER AND SO & SO POLICE OFFICER IS NOT SO GOOD.

We thought of elaborating on the said topic by finding out the meaning of who is good & who is not and the same is as under:-

WHO IS GOOD
A good man is one who is kind and compassionate.
A good man is honest and hard working. A good man will tell you the truth.
A good man has self control and is respectful when he speaks to anybody and everybody.
A good man is willing to be corrected or counseled by you.
A good man is faithful and reliable; he is able to forgive you when you do wrong except your illegal & immoral acts.
A good man is humble, generous and is a peacemaker as well.
A good man knows how to control his temper and has concerns for others.
A good man stays confident of himself.
A good man fears God and is obedient to his word.
A good man is not a jealous man.
A good man always has a positive outlook on life & is true to his profession.
A good man never finds excuses to avoid doing his & others work.
A good man ESPECIALLY WITH REFERENCE TO POLICE OFFICERS always sees himself in the shoes of the victims of crime.

WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE BAD
A bad man is one who is always brimming with pride.
A bad man is always full of greed.
A bad man is always selfish.
A bad man is always full of inhuman feelings.
A bad man is always over confident.
A bad man is always rude.
A bad man is always disrespectful to others.
A bad man never understands the feelings of others.
A bad man is never truthful.
A bad man has a negative outlook on life & is never true to his profession.
A bad man is one ESPECIALLY WITH REFERENCE TO POLICE OFFICERS who is always putting spokes in others work. A classic example is avoiding Registration of FIR at all levels in the POLICE FORCE.
A bad man is apt in generating excuses to avoid doing his & others work.
A bad man ESPECIALLY WITH REFERENCE TO POLICE OFFICERS always sees himself in the shoes of the criminals & has no concern for Victims of Crime.

WITH OR WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONTEXT:
The root causes of crime are poverty, unemployment, underemployment, racism, poor health care, bad housing, weak schools, mental illness, alcoholism, single-parent families, teenage pregnancy, and a society of selfishness and greed……….Patrick V. Murphy (1985) former NYPD Commissioner.

It is criminal to steal a purse; it is daring to steal a fortune. It is a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases……..Johann Schiller (1759-1805)

IN THE PRESENT CRIME SCENARIO CRIMINALS & CRIMINAL MINDED PEOPLE HAVE NO FEAR OF THE POLICE & THE LAW & THAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASON THAT CRIME HAS BECOME A PASSION FOR SOME & A PROFESSION FOR SOME (PROPERTY RELATED FRAUDS & OTHER ECONOMIC CRIMES ETC.).
