No goofing

WHAT kind of policemen do we have who need to be told, over and over again, reminded from here to eternity, that they are not allowed to accept gifts or bribes, not to take what is not theirs? Do they have to be told to wear their uniform with spiff and pride?
Those orders issued by the PNP OIC and the NCRPO chief to all policemen of the 190,000-strong force sounded so juvenile you’d think they were addressing a class of high school kids being prepared for summer camp.
Cops are not to accept bribes in cash or kind, not to use recovered vehicles and motorcycles as if these were their personal possessions. Not to be seen in a bar, casino, or cockpit. They were reminded, once again and going back to Senator Ping Lacson’s time as PNP chief, to stay away from the golf course. No golf, no goofing.
Golf is for gentlemen of leisure. Even a tycoon like Dennis Uy is too busy making another billion to waste his time walking on grass trying to shoot a tiny ball into 18 holes, an exercise that’s not cheap and takes four hours. Until a PNP officer gets to be elected president like Gen. Fidel V. Ramos, he should concentrate on the game of catching criminals and putting them away. Which reminds me of my friend’s experience when she went to the police station to report a road accident. It was 6 p.m. The cop on duty, wearing an undershirt, was cooking his dinner. Neit
