I can only say that there is not enough effort on training the police.. I have noticed these poorly equipped poorly protected guys standing at the check points and wonder at how effective they are. Sikander is probably suffering from schizophrenic illness or he could be a drug addict. But all the same it does not deflect from the fact that the police could not deploy specialy trained unit for this incident. Also the awareness and treatment for mental illness is quite inadequate in Pakistan. We should not dwell on this issue too much .. But this incidence highlighted the shortcomings of the security. Hope Nisar Ali Khan will be up to the challenge. I think we we want a modern service and response from the police we need to spend the aid funds received from US on training and equipping our police and not on providing security and managing huge escorts for the VIPs!!!
