Bunch of invincibles

Just finished watching 'Shoot out at Lokhandwala'.
This isn't a film review. I don't know enough about movies to be able to give any view worthwhile but I did recognise some questions which aren't unique to my neurons rather I borrow them from the movie. Now, many of you out there wouldn't find it worth your while to watch a non intellectual movie. I digress slightly here cause even though it was a wham bam action violence glorification, it still managed to point out the simplest of all questions out in the open.
Now I am sure this movie isn't the first one to do it. I merely point it out cause I noticed it.
The movie shows a group of boys who make Mumbai their own backyard to do as they choose.
Villains!
I am not sure. These boys didn't grow up to become what they did. They didn't get inducted into fanatic tutorials to get things done on the will of a bully. These boys could have been anything but their circumstances, their situation pushed them to be what they became or at least had an ambition to become- The Kings of Mumbai.
I hope no one counters that they should have done something else with their will and they would have succeeded and they could have contributed in the betterment of the society and would have become legends. The true under dog story of triumph!
I am not quite sure that possibility of being the example of being great in a society where they lived under impoverished and abused existence would have allowed. They could either suppress or be suppressed. They could either be bullied or bully.
Now that doesn't mean that they did the right thing by clasping the gun and shooting and killing when they needed to establish themselves because their business runs on FEAR. But it doesn't even say that what they did was wrong. The survival theory.
How can we as a society answer or change the way things are? No philosophical answer can answer this. Nor can the blame game do any good but what can?
Each time we see an encounter mentioned exactly how many of you think it is fishy? I mean how many Indians actually believe in their Police?
And when there do come along a group of officers who answer an eye for an eye, a storm of human right violation rises. The police is for enforcing not reforming. What is expected of them to be shot at but not retaliate? To forget that their partner who was also their friend of ten years was brutally killed while facing the same criminal who would be freed in a matter of hours and would then come back to salvage his pride and wipe out the belief which a few people courageously have in their police?
And exactly who knows of a perfect system existing where there are no chinks?
And how many of us have the courage to join the police? Army is fine but Police...
I am quite lost here because things aren't as glorious in the real as is on celluloid of the big screen and a police officers life is a few grands and who wants to die? I mean if you did get into a fight with a group of goons would you fight? or would you think that they have nothing to lose but you have more to lose in a fight than by letting them bully you and take your wallet and molest the person you are with?
I am not quite sure but it repulses me to think that most (and I don't exclude myself from the most for even a bit) wouldn't stand up to these people who have become the way they have because they needed to survive and we cow down because we need to survive.
Who would you rather have at your door with a gun? a gangster who you pay for protection or a brave police officer was one of questions which this movie spelt out.
The other was how will the society decide who's right and who's wrong?
The criminal they created or the policemen they developed?
But alas I can just type away gloriously... what can I do?
laughable and pathetic is all that it seems when I can just talk but hardly contribute. Why would some be around only to be bullied?
Questions are all I have. It would be a relief to know a few answers for once and be able to act on them.
