POLICE STORIES


A few postings back, saya telah memetik dailog dari filem, “They Die With Their Boots On” lakonan Errol Flynn. Intisari dailog tersebut adalah menghidupkan sesuatu yang dapat membangkitkan kebanggaan dalam diri sesuatu organisasi. Sesuatu yang akan membulatkan jati diri kita, yang akan membuat kita bertahan menghadapi sebarang dugaan, dan jika perlu mati kerana mempertahankan organisasi kita.

Kali ini, sebahagian lagi daripada dailog filem yang sama. Semoga dailog yang saya petik ini dapat membuat mereka yang hanya tahu mengkritik PDRM, berfikir semula. Kalau setakat mengutuk tu, beruk dan siamang pun boleh buat tapi pernahkah mereka yang setakat mencaci kami, pernah buat tugas polis untuk seminggu dua. Ok. ini petikan dailog yang saya maksudkan.

Mr.Bacon : “Be quiet, you drunken riffraff”
Gen. Custer : “ Riffraff?, I advise you to be careful of your words, sir”
Mr.Bacon : “I’d advise you to be more careful of your uniform. Bringing disgrace on it with drunken behaviour.”
Gen. Custer : “What?, drunken?. Why, you fat little pipsqueak. This gentleman is a soldier. He stands in battle and gets shot at, so that sanctimonious little skinflints like you can go around in safety doing business as usual.”

Think about it dan fikir-fikirkanlah, siapa yang menjamin anda boleh makan dengan selamat di kedai mamak 24 jam.

Cerita fasal orang yang tahu hentam polis sahaja dari dalam kepompong keamanan dan keselamatan mereka, yang dibina atas usaha, tenaga, titik peluh dan air mata warga dan ahli keluarga warga PDRM, boss aku ada menyampaikan satu cerita yang mengambarkan dengan tepat, apa yang yang sedang dilalui oleh warga PDRM. Sorrylah, cerita ini dalam bahasa inggeris. You all tak kisah punya, kan. Malaysian of chinese and indian origin, aku memang tahu, English dia orang ok. Orang melayu yang dah korbankan kedaulatan bahasa melayu dia orang pun, aku agak dia orang punya penguasan bahasa penjajah ni mesti best punya. Kalau tidak sia-sialah belajar maths dan sains dalam bahasa Mat Salleh. So here goes the story.

3 men find themselves at the Pearl Gates awaiting tranfers either to hell or to heaven. An angel was at the gate conducting preliminary screening on who’s going where. The first man in line proceeded to ask the angel, “how do you decide who’s going down and who’s going up” That’s easy said the angel, “it depends on the job you’re doing when you’re alive”.

“What are you when you’re alive”, ask the angel. “A politician.” replied the first man. “Ha!”, exclaimed the angel, “politicians lies, steals public funds, you’re the worst of the lot. Straight to hell with you”. And pooofff!! Mr.Politician goes to hell.

“And what do you do to earn a living when you’re alive”, the angel asked the second man. The second guy proudly announces, “I’m a lawyer”. “Hummpphh!”, grunts the angel, “that’s about as good as the politician. You make money out of others’ misery and you guys are not adverse to cheating your clients. Even sharks won’t eat you, because both of you are of the same family. So off to hell with you too!” . So, once again, poooff!, Mr.Lawyer goes to hell.

The 3rd man by now is sullen. If politicians who administer the country and lawyers who save clients from the hangman noose is packed off to hell, it will be just as bad for him.

“And what do you do, my friend”, asked the angel of the now timid looking man. “I have been a policeman for 35 years”, was the reply. “Good Lord”, exclaimed the angel, “you have been through hell all these years, so …. straight to heaven for you”. With that the policeman gently floats to heaven.

Hingga jumpa lagi dari Uncle B, yang tidak akan suruh anak buah buat apa yang dia sendiri tak boleh buat…. byeee.
