Only fringe elements hate police

Dear Mr Liu Shinan,

I read with interest your February 25, 2009, article in the China Daily entitled "Heroism Loses Value Amid Moral Decay". I am a Canadian living in the city of Chongqing but had not heard of the heroic and selfless act of police officer Zhou Xin, who lost his life in the line of duty as I was away on vacation in Sanya. Like yourself, I was greatly disturbed by some of the outrageous and cruel comments of some "netizens" which I read in your article.
