Police SERVE the ruling classes and SUPPRESS the working classes

-
The police are law enforcers. But do they understand law? Most policemen don't.
Policemen have powers to accept complaint, detain, arrest and file FIR citing various IPC sections. They also have investigative powers to summon & interrogate possible witnesses, conduct searches etc. But, does the average cop understand anything beyond following the orders of superior officers? No.
Their hierarchy and rigidly authoritarian organizational culture -- in fact, a brutal and criminal-minded culture -- makes cops cynical and cruel. This prevents policemen from having respect for democracy and citizens.
Cops are habituated to speak the language of oppression and fear. They respect only power, not gentleness & rule of law.
The main utility of the police force is VIP SECURITY & CROWD CONTROL. Read http://tinyurl.com/cops-VIP-duty
As a law -enforcement, investigative and crime-prevention agency, police is a TOTAL FAILURE.
The main role of police today is drawing a clear line between ordinary citizens (the masses, the subjects) and the VIP classes (the rulers). They are the main instrument of oppression in the hands of the ruling class. It's all very similar to the role of the police during the British Raj.
Unless We The People clearly understand this, we will not be able to focus on it and change it.

-
On December 12 2013, J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted, “If friends in Mumbai are to be believed, it seems the only people who don’t know who was driving the fancy Aston Martin (worth Rs 4.5 crore) are the Mumbai police.” He was hinting at Akash Ambani, son of Mukesh Ambani) Probably that’s when the limelight hit the spot. During the wee hours of Sunday, December 8 2013, a black Ashton Martin Rapide (registration # MH 01 BK 99) belonging to Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Por ts, crashed into an Audi and a Hyundai Elantra, at Pedder Road, Mumbai. The crash killed two people.

But Joshi wasn’t arrested even after a full confession.

Short story: The faithful wife

-
[Friendship, love and trust have many meanings. This is an erotic story about all those beautiful emotions.] He lay awake in bed, waiting for her to finish her kitchen winding-up chores and join him. By the time she came in and began undressing for bed, he was very nearly asleep. With drowsy eyes, he gazed at her taking off her saree. She had grown a bit plump of late, but it only made him love her more. "There is more of you to hug now than when I married you," he sighed, wrapping his arms and legs around her in the dim light of the bedlamp. "This is sheer luxury!" She reciprocated by kissing him, and then turned around, determined to fall asleep quickly. Tomorrow was another tough day ahead, and she would have to cook a full formal lunch, keeping in mind his guest. Not just the daal-chaval that she made on days when she was feeling tired. "Turn off the lights, please," she said sleepily. "Not yet," he breathed in her ear. "Let me

India's "Anaadi" Courts -- where all your fundamental rights disappear

-

Here's something the media never reports: "Anaadi courts" are the instrumentality by which the State deprives tens of thousands of Indian citizens of their Fundamental Right to Life & Liberty. Without due process. For trivial offences like crossing the railway tracks, ticketless travelling and "loitering suspiciously" (combined with inability to furnish bail-bond or engage a lawyer), people are arrested and held in judicial custody for days, weeks or even months in judicial custody, without even being chargesheeted. This is happening daily, without interruption. Hello... Are the Chief Justices listening? Like  ·  Comment  ·  Share
