Corrupt Iraq Cops

Article


The Interior Ministry has ordered the arrests and interrogations of several high-ranking police officers over their handling of security in the area


I keep hearing this on the tv , but never seeing it written , until now. It seems many of the Iraqi police also belong to the local militia's that are fighting each other.

There are many police blockades , reported as "fake" blockades to kidnap and kill people, but I wonder now how many of the fake cops are in fact real cops ? The iraqi civilian prime minister seems to have allowed the wolves into the house and is doing nothing to stop it.

Rather like only now are they starting to complain about Iran and Syria backing various militia inside Iraq. Why ? Because they might have to do something about it if they talk too loudly about it. And they're always complaining they're short on resources. (I know our canadian military is demanding more money from parliment to cover deployment expenses)

there was even one journalist who reported that the cops set up a road block on the soldiers payday to fleece them on the way home.

*sigh* They gotta do something about the cops. If you can't trust the cops on the street of a country , you've pretty much had it. A program of snap inspections and corruption entrapment investigations is required here. Catch them in the act and publically punish them , that sort of thing.
