That's where I was going next.
We were told that the army is close to the people, but that the police is where the main flow of the corruption is and where the hoodlums are. In fact, some people consider the attack on the synagogue to probably have been by the police themselves. But there's a disconnect between the government and the police, and it's the police who are functioning with impunity.
Would you see the situation as similar to that?
