Could you elaborate on that bbecause I just thought that it brough a sense of 
very ugly fashion and clothes that were too big.

I think that we can create a non-corrupt police force. It is the one that we 
have that is corrupt. If we start from scratch we could create an army / 
gendarmerie or national guard that is not corrupt. But we should also involve 
the general public to participate in its management not just the government.
