Police corruption?

This cartoon depicts what is vox-populi regarding corruption within the police force. Its most noted act, refers to a high-ranking officer who was caught with a huge cocaine smuggling effort. Wherever you see there are signs of corruption. While on the other hand there is increasing crime rates nationwide. “Nosce te ipsum” is an old latin proverb, it means that you have to know yourself first if you want to change. In this case the police force, regardless of what is expected from the government in terms of corrective actions or what the society may think. It is the policemen that have to clean up their house and set higher standards to become real public servants who must protect us. (La Prensa, La Paz newspaper, today’s edition)
