Of course it is. An arms cache and/or an arsenal and/or a stockpile of deadly assualt weapons. Ask any journalist. They're experts. /SARCASM

#4 Somthings missing here

What's missing, 6, is the police doing anything. You have wanted crooks, with multiple charges against them just going about their daily business of robbing and killing people.

That's why "crossfires" and "encounters" are in quote marks in the Bangladesh papers. Everyone knows the RAB is catching these guys, taking them to a dark alley, and putting a bullet in their heads. But, because the cops are on the take and not doing anything about the problem, they wink and turn a blind eye.

I'll be blunt about it. The Rapid Action Battalion is running death squads. Is it right? No, but it's the only law they've got.

#5 And from what I hear, the Bangladeshis are thrilled that the RAB is on the case. Unfortunately, that's as close to justice as they get in that part of the world.

#6 I imagine there were similar feelings in the early days of the American West when the Texas Rangers showed up and asked questions later.

It takes time and commitment to establish the rule of law. We have gotten used to having it around. Not everyone is so fortunate. A Jamaican guy I know got stopped driving late at night in northern Michigan and was quite surprised the cop did not ask for money.
