As sad and dirty as it might look, you will be surprise to learn that this is a common practice among law enforcers of different forms all over the world.
They don't wanna run after the criminals so they wait for a scape goat - anyone small enough for them to fight as an example to show they are still in office. This happens to among police officers. I have passed through dirty situations that reading this alone almost bring tears to my eyes. But it's okay, we'll fight back in our own way just like you have choosen this way to fight the corrupt. It's little by little we'll get there. Thank you for choosing to take this fight in this way. Have a beautiful day
