Cops should know justice is above all

An outrageous incident happened last week in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province. A woman driving a luxury car deliberately ran over the feet of a waitress who tried to prevent her from parking in front of the restaurant. When the waitress made the emergency call to the police, the woman yelled: "I am not scared; I have connections in the police bureau."

Everybody, from the passers-by at the scene to netizens online, was angered by the woman's audacious, unscrupulous words. But I think the one who should be most angry is the chief of the police bureau. Aren't the woman's words an open insult to the police? Wasn't she tarnishing the image of the city's police?

I don't know how any of the police chiefs at different levels of Nanjing's police reacted to the event, as there was no follow-up report about it. But one policeman's behavior with regard to it triggered some thoughts in me.
