Blind leading the blind

I read something really funny in the paper yesterday. It appeared in a small single column on the inside pages and is almost something you are bound to miss. The piece was talking of the beefing up of security services across the state. Our commissioner Mr Bidari claims that the police force will assist in training security personnel of various public places in dealing with terror elements.
Hmmm quite strange, for I wonder which police force he is referring to. According to statistics that were released, for one, we lack the minimum number of police personnel to people ratio. Further, our policemen in Karnataka are trained with weaponry that was made before they were born (or for that matter, even before their parents' time). Next there are actually policemen you refuse to take arms that they are entitled to for FEAR of using them. Duh!!! but then what the hell are you guys doing in the damn police force... If you are scared of using arms to protect the people you are supposed to, then who asked you to join the force.
Further, and this a topic well written on... the potbellies on some of our cops will be the reason they fall prey to terrorist bullets. Those tummies will not let them run (as there is ample evidence to prove that run they will), neither will they serve as lard-ridden bullet-proof vests.
So in view of such credentials, Mr Bidari, do you actually think you can train other security personnel, to fight terrorists. Keep in mind, you will be up against, those who are highly motivated, their own lives and safety is secondary to them, their training, physical and mental is way beyond anything you may have experienced.
Trying making amends within your own ranks first. And then look at the bigger picture.
