Police most often serves the capital owners through the politicians funded by capital owners. The farmers protest in India was a good example of this. Police tried to barricade, beat up the farmers who were protesting a law that would’ve benefited the agro companies and put small farmers on a weak position.



You know nothing about the laws, they were hugely for the benefit for the small farmers. Regardless, it's a lie that police beat up farmers. Yes they did put up barricades to stop them from entering the capital, but nobody was beaten, unless they broke the barricades and attacked the police. The farmers stayed on the border of capital for months, nobody said anything to them. Stop spreading propaganda.


Delhi police has a history of beating up protesters and Delhi police works directly for central government and not state administration. You would know if you follow Indian news.

> You know nothing about the laws

Personal attacks usually indicate defending a flawed position. The farmers participating in the largest protest in history definitely knew how the law affected them, as opposed to the govt who passed the laws without discussion.

> Regardless, it's a lie that police beat up farmers.

There are literally tons of videos police beating up farmers. So I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

> Stop spreading propaganda.

The Indian news media did propaganda against farmers. These news channels who never say a word against BJP govt tried so hard to undermine the protest that they were banned from covering the protest. They literally have a name “Godi Media” meaning media sitting in the lap of Modi.
