<P> Fa Zheng, a Chinese man, was appointed as the Administrator (太守) of Shu commandery (蜀 郡) and "General Who Spreads Martial Might" (揚 武 將軍) by Liu Bei . He oversaw administrative affairs in the vicinity of Yi Province's capital Chengdu and served as Liu Bei's chief adviser . </P> <P> During this period of time, he abused his power by taking personal revenge against those who offended him before and killing them without reason . Some officials approached Zhuge Liang, another of Liu Bei's key advisers, and urged him to report Fa Zheng's lawless behaviour to their lord and take action against him . However, Zhuge Liang replied, "When our lord was in Gong'an (公安), he was wary of Cao Cao's influence in the north and fearful of Sun Quan's presence in the east . Even in home territory he was afraid that Lady Sun might stir up trouble . He was in such a difficult situation at the time that he could neither advance nor retreat . Fa Xiaozhi supported and helped him so much, such that he is now able to fly high and no longer remain under others' influence . How can we stop Fa Zheng from behaving as he wishes?" Zhuge Liang was aware that Liu Bei favoured and trusted Fa Zheng, which was why he refused to intervene in this matter . </P> <P> In dictatorial, corrupt, or weak states, police officers may carry out many criminal acts for the ruling regime with impunity . Institutional racism has been found in modern police forces . </P> <P> Individual officers, or sometimes whole units, can be corrupt or carry out various forms of police misconduct; this occasionally happens in many forces, but is particularly problematic where police pay is very low unless supplemented by bribes . Police sometimes act with unwarranted brutality when they overreact to confrontational situations, to extract a confession from a person they may or may not genuinely suspect of being guilty, or in other circumstances . Instances of racism occur, even when the police force as a whole is not found to be racist . </P>
