Hyderabad traffic cops to sport body cameras - The Times of India

 

[Ray]

Indian policemen are mostly rogues in uniform. According to Amnesty International report, at least 10 people are killed in police custody every day. Torture is common in police stations. Cops harass innocent people and feel good about themselves - it is all about power. These cops dont have the guts to go after real criminals - instead they take bribes from them. But ask them to slap a helpless girl, they will. And feel powerful. Horrible people.

I did not know you are a beat constable in India.

Not happy with your posting at Grant Road, Mumbai?

I ask you since you seem to be an expert on girls (and slapping to get your way).

 

[brational]

I saw a video where cops slapped a girl who was protesting against rape (after what happened in Delhi two years ago). Are you going to defend those cops, Ray?

Please tell us more.. Was that you?
