Don't Be Sissies
by Jehan Mir on Sep 12, 2007 03:31 PM

How come only three reporters/ camera men of the hundreds present were subject of excessive force ?

Journalists must understand that security personnel are under tremendous pressure when dealing with unruly crowds under certain circumstances as noted by the journalists that the unusual force was used.

Its the judgment and discretion of the security personnel at the scene which is determinative of the amount of force to be used in order to maintain law and order.

Neither the courts nor Musharraf can substitute judgment / discretion over the one exercised by the security personnel at the scene. Courts / Musharraf were not there,therfore must defer to the judgment of security personnel.

Therefore, guys sorry for the injuries ,but this is part of the game. Only soldiers fall and die in the battlfields. Stop crying. Don't be a sissies.

If you can't stand the heat ,get out of the kitchen.
