There's No Escaping The Law.


A man with a religion knows that everything that happens in this world is in God’s power. We do not have the ability to predict what will happen to us in the future but we can plan for it and strive to be the best by obeying the His commands. A man without one is still bound to the laws and regulations of a country. No matter how strongly they oppose it, at the end of the day they can’t escape it.

And so, when news broke out a few years ago about a man who died in police custody and that a police officer was found guilty of causing his death, things got uptight due to a number of reasons. One of it was the fact that the deceased was an Indian man and this of course made way to racial accusations until everyone was pacified with the revelation that the police officer responsible for his death was, too, an Indian.

Other than that, people were arguing and debating about a few issues regarding this matter. Some were for the actions of the police officer, citing that the deceased was a criminal and also a suspect for a number of possible rape cases. Some were against it, saying that he should have gone through a proper trial with a proper verdict.

For me, I do agree that a person like the deceased could have been a dangerous man if left out and about but I believe that our laws and the judiciary system would never let that happen. Furthermore, some might say that it is normal for criminals to be tortured in police custody in order to gain crucial intelligence information, but it should never cause any deaths. Also, nothing good ever comes in killing a person. It does not solve everything and will only create a chain of unfortunate events.

The results of this one man’s actions go both ways but leans more towards the negative side. Yes, there became one less criminal in the society but a mother lost a son. And, this particular case tarnished our police enforcement’s name and reputation apart from the nation losing its trust towards them besides questioning their credibility. This is what happens when people think that they are above the law. Here’s news for everyone out there – no one is.
