Policemen & Taximen

Sometimes I think these 2 groups are married. Always in some argument or tangle. Names usually mentioned in the same breath as the other. Why? I know taxi drivers are an indisciplined, ignorant lot who make their own traffic rules ( & enforce them!) but why the almost singleminded focus on them? How come we don't see the police pressuring the murderers with the same zeal? Or the reckless drivers of SUV's? This is an obvious double-standard & brings to mind the saying" duppy know who to frighten". I hate it. I remember the anecdote where police saw a taxi violating a traffic law & 2 men stabbing another man. They chose to arrest the taxi man. Now tell me, which one was more deserving of an immediate response? Sometimes I wonder about the police. Sometimes I don't need to wonder about the police. I m almost sorry for the taximen though. Dangerous job with everything hitting you on all sides. Police, fuel, killers, vehicle maintenance, etc. Plus the alleged racket where the police trumps up charges, seizes the vehicle & forces you to bribe him before he releases it or waste couple days paying fines you didn't deserve to get. It must hurt. Hope this thing gets resolved soon. Oh well. Later.
