When we get headlines splashed with news that police officers "threw" a guy 10 storeys down, or a police sergeant kneeing an old lady, the blogs of timesofmalta.com is littered by all sorts of comments by some wise persons (who happen to know everything)- venting anger towards the Police Force, but when there's an incident of police officers being met with violence, we get an article that's 6 lines long, and nobody comments in favour of the officers who were treated improperly during their line of duty. How truly Pathetic!!!
