Brown colonialists are lethal.

"Many of India's current draconian laws have their ancestry in the British era where they were very frankly instruments of torture," wrote Manoj Joshi. "If you, through 'words, either spoken or written, or by signs, or by visible representation' bring 'hatred or contempt' or excite 'disaffection towards the government' your goose is cooked, according to the sedition clause, Section 124A of the IPC." "This year, a primary schoolteacher and a mother were arrested for sedition, and children were interrogated" as "a chilling warning to all protesters and dissenters, that the price of liberty is high, very high". Belatedly, "In an order of far reaching significance the Supreme Court on Wednesday put the police, CBI, National Investigation Agency, Enforcement Directorate, Narcotics Control Bureau, Department of Revenue Intelligence and Serious Fraud Investigation Office under CCTV surveillance to prevent custodial torture." Many police forces in the US require their officers to wear video cameras on their bodies to try an prevent unnecessary use of force. "But in a heated situation where force becomes necessary, it is instinct rather than careful consideration that takes over" because, "Primarily it is police training -- honed over decades -- that prevents a police officer from fighting or running away," wrote Honig and Johnson. "Dozens of protesters have clashed with police in the French capital Paris in fresh demonstrations against a controversial draft security law," reported BBC. "Article 24 of the proposed bill makes it a criminal offence to publish images of on-duty police officers with the intent to harm their 'physical or psychological integrity'." This is clearly an effort to hide police brutality. Unfortunately for the government a video of four police officers "beating up and racially abusing a black music producer in Paris went viral", forcing the government into a humiliating u-turn. Indian police are famous all over the world for executing suspected criminals without having to account for their actions. While peaceful protests are allowed everywhere in the world, Indian politicians respond by asking police to shoot protesters to death. Thus, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi Palaniswami called it a "natural reaction" when police shot 13 people to death for protesting against a copper plant for contaminating their drinking water. The plant was permanently shut down after the killing. No one has been charged with unnecessarily killing law abiding citizens. A senior bureaucrat issued orders to "shoot-on-sight" if anyone protested against the conviction of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh on charges of rape. "At least 38 people were killed and more than 200 were injured," reported Reuters. A day later train and bus services were stopped to prevent people from gathering. When our government finds us disposable why do we become indignant if Richard Nixon described us "scavenging people". Other people have value. We have none.
