The officers currently in office are not paid well and that's why you see them acting shamelessly on the road and to citizens they are meant to protect. I can imagine how the retired police are coping. The protest is not a bad idea.

This answer is quite simple, we do not treat our heroes well in this country. This exercise is a testament to how we treat our servicemen who have put decades of work into serving and protecting the country.

We all know that in this country protest do not really do the work, the government will do whatever they deem fit is right for them. Protest do not really work.
