Watching the Hawks

07 July 2009, 12:01 - Concerned Citizen

Dear Editor,

Don't they know that "it all boils down to leadership"? This is a basic rule that all leaders are suppose to know.

We can change the system, we can create new ones, but unless we change, nothing will.

The start of the new police leg "Hawk" came as a shock because I immediately wondered why the Scorpions had to be disbanded.

My understanding was that they were unhappy with the fact that there were two units, police and scorpions, but now there will be two again. They might be under one name, but again two departments.

What will they do if the members of the Hawk unit starts to follow certain leads that lead them to members of the police unit, or to the leadership of the country, government officials, will they too be labelled?

What we need is free justice, justice for all.

Reading through the article commenting on the first day of the new unit, I was wondering if they would consider the following: Whenever a person of authority (government worker) is found guilty of any crime or wrong doing, they need to face double the consequences than that of an ordinary citizen.

They are supposed to be leaders and an example to the country.
