Corrupt Police Officers Should Stop Blaming Their Wives, Psychiatrist Says
On Wednesday (February 15, 2017), a psychiatrist told the erring corrupt police officers in blaming their materialistic wives for their corrupt ways.
Police officials were supposed to be the one who leads to enforce the law for the peace and security of our country. But there are some cops who are abusing their authorities for their own benefits. They are well-trained for years to handle every type of situation but it seems that they were easily giving up to the demand of their materialistic wives.
Dr. Jessy Ang is a psychiatrist helping soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. He explained that they the cops’ mindset is showing of having a scapegoatism attitude, which is blaming another person instead of admitting their own mistakes.
“We have to be accountable for our decisions, actions. You can’t say that you made a mistake because your spouse pressured you, or that because your child has a problem. You should be mature enough to face the consequences,” said by Dr. Ang quoted by Inquirer.
During the Philippine National Police’s mass wedding, PNP Director General Ronald “Bato” de la Rosa told the wives of the policemen that they should not pressure their husband to buy expensive stuff because it is one of the major reasons why policemen were involved in illegal activities and corruption.
Dela Rosa also said that family member and wives of the erring policemen should not be blamed for the irresponsible actions of the corrupt cops. The responsibilities and actions of the cops will be fully charged to themselves.
The psychiatrist also explained that the lack of effective law enforcement in the Philippines was one of the factors of police officers to engage in corruption.
He also said that Filipinos were softhearted people to criminals, that’s why crime rate continue to increase. Ang also said that we should be strict and firm in implementing the corresponding punishment for law violators as their consequence.
