Some genuine questions was asked,some may have different answers.
Here is my take,the police force along with the Gov't have a mandate to protect the people.Unfortunately during the period when criminals were in control, Drug Lords was used to protect the people,is that justifiable ?
The Government of the day during that period failed the people.From what gathered i gathered help was offered and was not accepted.
The US wanted to send in the DEA and the British offered help from Scotland Yard. The PPP were receiving financing and other means of support from Roger Khan, Kalamadeen, Dataram, Peter Morgan, Razack, Bramha, and many other known drug lords and money washers. They refused help from those countries since it would have exposed their ties to the drug lords. They also turned a blind eye to the drug trade since it was pumping massive amounts of money into the economy. How many times were Khan, Morgan, Buddy's, Bramha and Dataram arrested by the police and then they would walk free in a few days? That was the vision Jagdeo had for his Narco Republic. He didn't give a shit if innocent people died. It was just collateral damage.
