An alleged gangster leader was recently shot dead by an unknown gunman at his own company in Taichung City. Four police officers were found to be at the crime scene when the shooting took place, provoking strong public criticism of their misconduct. The four policemen claimed they were only chatting and drinking there, but why did they have to meet at a secret guest house at the 'biotech' company run by the killed gangster. The suspicious company had no official registration and nobody knows what the company's functions are. The government has declared war against the underworld, but how can it launch the battle against the gang operations disguised as enterprises, which are then covered up by local political forces? The Taichung shooting incident was just an epitome of the corrupt links between politicians and gangsters. It is a mission impossible trying to eradicate gang organizations in any society, but the government must draw a clear line between the right and wrong to guide grassroots policemen and maintain the rule of law. This is by no means an easy task. The gunman who still remains at large must be seized and punished by law, but a bigger challenge that will test the government's wisdom is how it will resolve corruption among government officials as had been exposed by the four policemen.
