In India,
from an early age parents scare their kids with the police. Mischievous kids
are often threatened with cops even if the passer-by happens to be a
bus-conductor in Khaki. On trains,
when there are families with a bunch of kids prancing around or doing
acrobatics with the berth-ladders, the parents caution them about cops on the
beat. And when the Railway cops do turn up near their cabin, they point to them
and jokingly ask the cops to arrest them. Thus, from an early age Indians see
the cops as “people to fear” rather
than “people to trust”. This is not
entirely misplaced as Indian cops have a history of ill-treating citizens right
from the British Raj. After all, those who fired the bullets at Jallianwala were also Indians working
under the British. Going to a PS in the most compelling circumstances is often
a nightmare for many and they dread it. There’s a report that 1 woman complains
of police apathy
every 2 hours. But times are changing. With more transparency, more
communication tools and technology, cops too are being more sensitive. And they
have more heroes than many other domains of our mundane life.
Apathy is
not unique to Indian police. It’s a worldwide phenomenon. England cops turned a
blind eye to 1400 rapes in Rotherham.
I often recommend good movies to watch. The 1978 kidnap and murder of a
Canadian teen, Eric Wilson, is an
extraordinary, gripping story. He was kidnapped in Nebraska, USA and the apathy
of cops, FBI and other agencies is a harrowing story of the mother trying to
find her son:
You can
watch/download the excellent documentary of the above story “Just another
missing kid” or the
movie based on it “Into thin air”
on Youtube. Every year over 2000 kids go missing in the “advanced” US and many
of these remain unsolved. But they do manage to develop and improve their
systems unlike the slow process in India. In the US they now have an “AMBER” alert for missing children. Although
“AMBER” is an acronym for “America's Missing Broadcast Emergency Response” it
was created after the abduction and murder of a 9 year-old girl in Texas 1996
named Amber Hagerman. The crime remains unsolved.
The best of systems does not stop a
criminal. Only swift
punishment can, at best, act as a deterrent. This is something uneducated
media, journos, activists and many politicians in India do not understand. The
cops cannot prevent all crimes; especially not crimes like rapes, brutality or
murders happening within closed doors or remote outdoor places. Yet, as I
explained in Broken Windows,
they are the ones facing the brunt of mob-violence, riots, media and
opportunistic-politicians.
The
current anti-CAA riots, violence and
arson have posed a tough challenge to our cops across the country. There is
absolutely no doubt that these riots (mostly by Muslims) have been incited by
politicians, activists and the worst dregs of society. The level of violence
across the board is typical of an “organised
crime”. Given the scale of the violence across the country, one should be
grateful that the number of deaths is relatively low. And in this context,
although some cops were seriously injured, I would not like to see even cop
die. In the face of extreme violence, our cops have shown great restraint. It
is easy for you and me to be provoked into a physical fight at severe verbal
abuse or even a scooter or car accident. But cops are not allowed that luxury
at any time. Given that they are armed with lathis and guns, one must imagine how much it takes to curb the
temptation to pull the trigger at a 100 or 500-strong pelting all kinds of
missiles at them in scenes like these:
Indian
cops normally do not carry firearms on their routine beats. They are not
trigger-happy except in very rare cases of excess. In contrast, the US requires
every cop on the street (or even off-duty) to carry a gun. While, in general,
the US cops too are very controlled in using their guns, they do have a trigger-happy
lot. In this documentary
by Michael Moore, he shows cops have shot people mistaking TV remote, hairclip, spatula, keys, Snicker bar for
guns and in one case they fired 41
bullets into a guy because they mistook his wallet for a gun. It may seem a bit hilarious but if you don’t put
up your hands in the US, cops can shoot you. They can shoot you if you pose the
slightest threat to them or another person. And God save someone who kills a
cop in the US. It is unlikely that criminal will ever face a court – he will go
directly to his grave.
The
media-criminals like Barkha Dutt, Yogendra Yadav and other assorted
Commie idiots concoct bizarre stories with “actors” and “unverifiable”
reports of police brutality. These reports are usually their verbal-farts or
“choreographed” drama. The current anti-CAA violence may have multiple motives
– first ignite the Muslims, privately stoke their heartburn over Ayodhya, paint a doomsday picture for
them in India and through all this, make a bigger hole in the economy. They
will, then, again breast-beat over the economic slowdown. It’s a very clever
trick by the Congress and their Sickular step-children. On the usual NDTV
vomit, this Yogendra Yadav claims he went to areas in UP to do a first-hand “investigation” on the riots, victims
and police brutality. This criminal Commie and hatemonger is the prized-idiot
of all the anti-India goons:
What investigation did this castard
Yogendra do? Nobody knows.
But he reels off his crap as if he has some data of each incident, each stone
pelted, bullet fired, lathi used or fires set. In fact, if you hear his
blabber, he has NOTHING, ZERO facts to support any of his claims. Should I
trust this anti-national Commie or trust the UP cops? My trust is firmly with the cops. All these Commie animals come out
with the same moth-eaten stuff that doesn’t sell anymore. And they are
accountable to no one and for nothing. They dance to their paymasters
unlike cops who have serious threats to face:
The GOI,
state govts and the Hindus are not such fools that these Commies living in some
dark hole assume. Everyone has a mobile now, most of them with a camera. That
makes millions of eyes and freelancers across every corner of India who far
outnumber most of the corrupt anti-India journos that walk the streets. That
this whole anti-CAA violence is sponsored, directed and trained by those who
are inciting Muslims to burn India can be evident from this little kid ranting
a poetry seeking Modi’s death and
the celebration over it (Video: 29 secs):
If you
are tempted to dismiss this as a childish prank or banter – you will be making
a serious mistake. What the Madrassas teach their kids is quite known now to
the world. Modi and Amit Shah have made serious mistakes in funding them. That
apart, don’t forget, that during the LS2019 campaign, Priyanka Vadri was with a bunch of young kids who were taught to
chant “Neem ka
patha kadwa hai, Modi saala bhadwa hai”. We know where all this is
coming from and who is coaching these kids. And these are the kids who pelt
stones at cops and their idiotic media-mothers seek sympathy for them. And
morons of NDTV want such sympathy for an extremely criminal couple who went to
agitate, were detained and they had left their toddler at home:
Child-abuse
is not merely sexual or other forms of physical abuse. Wilful NEGLECT of
children is a punishable offence in many countries. This couple should be
jailed for that crime and not for their stupid protest. And when couples like
these neglect children to go and protest some for some fake cause, they will
also bring up their unfortunate kid to be a violent rioter. This is why I
consider media as the most criminal enemy of democracy. They don’t even
recognise a serious offence and don’t know what to really whine for. Here’s
another video of the violence at Aligarh
(probably AMU) and the grit and determination of the rioters to push down the
gates over the police is astonishing (Video 1.41 mins):
Eventually,
the rioters forced the gates enough to stream out on to the streets. Given the
violence against cops all around, one
can imagine what they must have faced in Kashmir almost every single day
and more so on Fridays with thugs
pelting stones and grenades at them. The cops there battled the goons almost
with their hands tied behind their backs. This jihadi violence cannot be
accepted for any reason whatsoever. It will come as a shock to most readers
that more cops have died in the line of duty than protesters and rioters. Shamefully, not one person in the media or
elsewhere bothered to check these stats:
In most
cases, the cop-deaths are highest in UP where the current riots have also
peaked in various cities. Amit Shah
correctly calls this violent rampage the work of the “Tukde Tukde” gang. There is hardly any doubt this is an enterprise
by anti-nationals to wreak havoc on India under the bogus pretext of CAA which
doesn’t harm one single Muslim citizen. So, it is not the cops battling some
student agitation or genuine protest. It
is cops vs anti-nationals at their violent worst. UP has so far identified
498 goons from whom they will recover the cost of public properties damaged or
confiscate their assets to recover the cost. This is a good move and needs to
be established as a permanent practice. Arson and destruction of public or any
property is not acceptable anymore. The disruption to lives of others and
damage to their businesses is immeasurable. Patriots must boycott businesses of anti-nationals.
These cop-deaths
happen even during peace times. Congi goons barking about police brutality
should remember; they forced a midnight attack on the Baba Ramdev protesters while they were sleeping at Ramlila Maidan in 2011. They killed one
woman. In they same year, the Congress tied the hands of cops and subjected
them to violence (including molestation of female cops) at Azad Maidan because the criminal rioters happened to be Muslims. One
Congi from Odisha, Pradeep Majhi,
openly encourages his coolies to keep petrol ready and burn everything. And he
goes on to say he doesn’t regret issuing that order.
There can
be no mercy for the violent thugs and no mercy for their sponsors. In these
anti-CAA riots, everyone should stand with our cops and not with anti-nationals
of Congress or their Sickular sidekicks. There is far more to these riots than
mere anti-CAA violence. This is a
calculated assault on India, on Hindus and on ModiSarkar. Many Hindu houses
in some places in UP have been attacked. This entire episode of violence has
nothing to do with CAA. Our cops should deal with these jihadis as brutally as
required and we should put our full force and support behind them.
