SEE HOW CORRUPT THOSE POLICES ARE?
WE NEED CORRUPTION LAW, HUN SEN!
This is normal for a state in which Law Enforcement is not their principle.....
There are many other fake performance to cheat or steal the weak people because of:
- loosing law enforcement
- poor condition
- social gap
- corruption
- inequality
- bad leadership
- etc
Hmm ... there goes the US image,
2:16.
Anyhow, the perpetratror should
be punished with maximum sentence
to set example of others, and
to accomplish this objective,
use all state's televisions and
media to educate the public for
at least a month. That should
help detered fraud for a while.
The guy should be promoted to 5 gold star general. The only mistake he made was that he didn't pay somebody's pockets for his status.
Sounds like he would make such a
good US citizen. Help him, 5:28!
