This is not India related and normally I don't like to just regurgitate news, but this one was exceptionally irritating to read.
NY Police Kill Man on Wedding Day
What is so compelling about this piece is that it is reported that the police were trying to stop something they 'thought' was about to happen.
For the number of bullets shot and the fact that these men turned out to be unarmed was particularly disturbing.
Likely, as with case of many police abuse injustices of this extreme nature in recent years, their behavior will be acquitted.
Seriously, how can people anywhere in the US (as there have been incidents in recent years in Georgia, Oakland, LA, and Florida to name a couple off the top of my head), trust these enforcers of the law?
They are touted as protectors of the peace, but seriously that isn't their job as much as it is to enforce the law and HUGE part of that in America entails the focusing on punitive actions rather than remedial or rehabilitative. I'm just be honest here.
I am not against cops as people. They are just regular folks trying to do their job under the guidelines given then. I just take issue with any group to appears to routinely and actively condone, covers-up or deny incidents of power abuse and lethal miscalculations. The typical rationale is that it is a hard job (which it can be) and they need some leeway to execute their duties. When this leeway turns into killing people in the anticipation they were about to be part of a crime....well it seems that Federal level attitudes are trickling down to the local levels.
Peace (and I wish there really was more of it),
A Pink American
The inspiring tale of one pink American's journey to the mysterious land of India...well not so mysterious when you can buy tasty samosas and nag champa all over the US. ~~~Please join me in preparing for and undertaking a three month journey to India. I hope to realize that the distant dreams of a 3 year old girl from America don't need to be acquiesced with the onset of adulthood.~~~
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

My sister, who lives in Manhattan, was involved in an almost-car-jacking yesterday.
Almost because she had the presence of mind to take the keys and jump out of the car as soon as this guy jumped in the back seat.
She called the police several times from a nearby shop while the perp sat in her car! the police took TWENTY minutes to come! Crazy! All this time, she was inside a store with big windows and the perp just kept looking and grinning at her.
Finally he tried to hail a cab and leave, but the cabbie wouldn't drive realizing what was going on.
Thats when the police arrived and handcuffed him while he was trying to beat up the cabbie!!
