"How dare they be smart?!" Khalid Samad surely thinks

I refer to this news piece in The Star, in which Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad questioned the police questioning eyewitness Azamuddin three times over.

Samad said, “Is there an agenda? I fear the police are deliberately questioning him to find inconsistencies in his story,” said Khalid, adding that the police might then accuse the boy of being an unreliable witness.

Mr Khalid - and I don't care for any title you might have because it's evident you don't deserve any - it's the police's job to find inconsistencies. It is a basic part of policing so that justice can be served. If someone accuses you, Mr Khalid, of sexually assaulting his entire flock of goats, then the police must question him to verify his claims, if only to clear you of any charges.

If they do not try to find any inconsistencies in his claims, then by default you would immediately be found guilty. They'd sentence you to be locked up with angry, diseased pitbulls for 10 years without parole (yes, I'm aware this is not a Malaysian concept, thank you).

I wonder if it's too much to hope that Mr Khalid will cease his brand of idiocy.
