Is policing a thankless job?

The evidences are important in the course of proving the guilt of suspects in any crimes. Quite often police have to make arrests upon suspicion. They have reasons and legal rights to do so. However, their acts must also be proved right. Police have to face the public sarcasm if they do not produce evidences against the arrestees. This is exactly what happened with the Bangalore police. They had arrested 17 people in suspicion in connection of bomb blasts those went off on April 17 at Malleswaram. After six months of rigorous investigation, suspects, except three, have been charge-sheeted for their crimes. There is public outrage for the lapses on part of police to have ‘arrested and kept them in jail for so long’ without any evidences. The police have done a good job but public do not appreciate; they only look out for police lapses. That is why police job is often a thankless job.
