RE: You are screwed no matter what you do.

You are correct. People no longer depend on the Police because they have proven to be untrustworthy and that's the reality we all have to deal with in this part of the world.

The Story you narrated is based on fact. That's exactly how things work here. They don't really care about executing law and order. All the want is to display their power and make money through all fraudulent opportunity they get.
