Some ridiculous justifications have been given to support the killings by some readers. Police is merely a tool to enforce govt policies. Killing them offers no solution. If people think that the killers of these policemen are going to protect their rights and lands they are sadly mistaken. Its the same as the state governance being handed over to the military. It would appear as a salvation for some time till the gun turns towards the same people who had supported it. This dastardly act of killing of policemen can have no justification. Whatever sympathy the cause for the angst may have had has been wiped out today. The Maoists have just proved that they deserve no better treatment than terrorists. A swift and stern action from the state and Centre is needed to send a strong message to the perpetrators and assure the general public of upholding Law and Order in the state.
