After all, no matter how effective were the measures to reform the police, state police system will remain only a projection of the moral state of our society. The police is not at all an unfortunate exception to the rule, there are the same people as in other spheres “, – quotes the opinion of Vladimir Legoida RIA” Novosti “.

But the conscience of honest police officers, medical officers and hurt every time the whole of society crowd begins to denounce them with such fervor, like other social institutions we have on the order of healthier and better “- said Legoida.

“There remain those who do not care. It is unlikely from this, our police, army medicine and get better, “- said the Chairman of the Synodal Information Department.
