Resistance factor of FOP

Every forward movement produces a counter force of resistance. Every revolution, even the quiet ones , has to confront a Gang of Four. Someone wrote on TopCop recently, that there can possibly be no counter logic to the FOP idea, but he is underestimating the four factors of resistance. Some senior officers resist and even would like to fight the idea into non-existence due to an ego issue that the idea is someone else's and not theirs. Of course, they will give some other ostensible reasons for doing so. Some resist because they have joined the IPS or the police not to share power but to concentrate or accumulate power in their own hands. Some resist because they are not able to understand all the holistic dimensions of the concept and state how can we designate some citizens only as Friends of Police- does it mean all the others are enemies? A good number of subordinate police officers may resist because it exposes their acts of corruption and lends some transparency to police functioning on a day to day basis since civilians will get access to the police station. Some resist because they feel that it might add to their work burden without realizing that it will in the long run reduce their workload and act as a force multiplier. Some resist because they are not able to trust the public and feel that it will tend to be misused. Some resist it because they feel they would become unpopular as the idea or project was initiated under a particular political dispensation.Except the category of officers who resist it due to personal or ego reasons, all the others can be disabused of their notions through exposure and training. Sometimes all these factors and forces gang up together to become a veritable "Gang of Four."
