Where else can we be safe?

Mashudul Haque, Central Road, Dhaka
This letter refers to a huge photograph that appeared in the back page of The Daily Star on 12 December 2011 that instantly attracted the readers' attention. If the law enforcers, who are supposed to be our rightful protectors, attack the common people on flimsy ground, then what can we do to protect ourselves from such predators? It is a very common sight that quite a good number of vehicles of different types display labels that read 'Police', either on the dash board or on the windscreen and freely roam around the city perhaps waiting for their catches. Besides, there are also other vehicles that display some self-designated labels. We the commoners perhaps have to be subdued with all these labels and accept whatever may befall us without getting any help. May Allah protect us from these evils.
