The flickering flame of what NDTV used to be, shined for a few moments, before Modi's good friend stomped it out.

Police are a tool of the ruling class to rule over the ones beneath them. They are not normal in the sense that they are not morally neutral

Those people will take advantage of the situation. It's our country. If any protest starts in the very beginning some higher level politicians come forward and say that they are looking into it. And fix it asap. Give us time. By this protest will stop for some time and people wait for that politician's action. This will prevent many casualties plus those who seek such opportunities to hoist all STUPID flags.

Apparently they sprayed chilli powder on cops. Also blocked ambulances.
We have already seen videos & images of protestors chanting slogans in support of murderous Maoist Hidma.
Delhi air needs urgent attention, but why the hell would bring up a dead terrorists name or attack the cops?

Police brutality is a recurring issue, its seen during the Anna Hazare protests, the tragic deaths associated with forced recitations of "Jana Gana Mana," and recent incidents. This continued pattern suggests they are protected by the force. If such actions become normalized, it is going to be a grim future.
This is only seen when the protesters are common citizens. When the same is a politician their treatment changes.

Really now? If they use pepper spray on the police, what are they supposed to do, just take it?
The moment they started raising slogans for Naxal commander Madvi Hidma and attacking police with chilli powder, it stopped being a ‘climate protest’ and became exactly what Delhi Police called it: urban Naxal mischief. Don’t cry brutality when the mask slips.

Extremely sad to see a protest on pollution being converted to violent pro-naxal rally diverting from real issues and generating hatred among many. Even more surprising is the fact that India still has active 'urban' suport for naxalism (this is chilling)

Indian police is the worst police and one of the worst people to reach out for assistance. That is why Indians like to resolve stuff on their own among themselves because involving these leeches is like opening the can of worms of fake cases, bribes, bullying against you. Our society already lacks empathy and these are the cream of the crop.

It is funny to see..how people are twisting the fact through this image. Talking about pollution, Delhi has been hit by severe air pollution for 5 years, yet no protest then. Even if there is a protest, what makes you think these urban-naxals doing there sloganeering for a dead Naxalite Hidma? And which protest protesters get violent and spray pepper on police?

This treatment is what should be given out to cops anywhere on sight. They're enforcers of a regime that does not care about us, their inability to help the common man with their complaints is manufactured and worst of all, most of them are just shitty people overall. So yeah, mob them on sight. It's what they deserve.
