Is the police helping or damaging Najib?

Police have arrested 5 people who were preparing tents and a big baloon outside Perak DAP headquarters, for a hunger strike by Pakatan MB Nizar and Speaker, Sivakumar. What else is new, coming from the police?

Strong arm tactics are not going to work these days. What used to be effective during Dr. Mahathir era will be damaging BN beyond redemption.

Police actions lately seem to suggest the fear and paranoia of BN leaders over the possibility of losing each and every by-election and possibly the 13th General Elections. Otherwise, why the high-handed manner in arresting small groups having candlelight vigils, wearing black T-shirts and now, even when Nizar and Siva prepare for a hunger strike!

In trying to show he means business, the IGP seems to put fear among the people over expressions of dissent. The double-standard in carrying their duties stood out like sore thumbs. Rabble-rouser Khairy could demonstrate with impunity while opposition MPs and ADUNs are arrested over minor infringements of the law.
