To be fair the institution itself is based on an archaic system that maintains this kind of attitude that Evan Brimob has so ‘eloquently portrayed’(sarcasm intended). Hence when one is burgled in Indonesia it is common knowledge to not get the police involved unless you have a large amount of extra cash lurking around somewhere. And even then help may not always come.

But on the other hand, the police do get very minimum wages with work that never gets a pat on the back, and inside an environment that denigrates them.

Talking about the whole police system and mainstream societies is like a ‘debat kusir’… it ain’t going no where!
