Delaying high-speed trains must be deterred

A VIDEO showing a woman preventing the door of a high-speed train carriage from closing so her laggardly husband could board the train at Hefei, East China's Anhui province, on Friday, has sparked anger online. Ifeng.com comments:

The video of this incident posted online infuriated the public not because of the woman's actions, but the failure of the police on the spot to act appropriately.

The police officers not only had enough power, but also sufficient reasons to end her irresponsible and dangerous act by forcibly removing the woman from the train. But they did not.
