This is sad but: give unintelligent people who are huge inferiority complexes (and tbh, they are not wrong, their parents were wrong for having them) in a country that has not yet learnt to silence it's political dissenters in an efficient way a weapon and this is the tip of the iceberg.
The goverment there is not more corrupt or inneficient than anywhere else. The police are no different to anywhere else. They jus havent managed to systematically beat the resistance out of everyone yet. Give them time, and they will.
