The world is protesting against institutionalised racism, police brutality and the murder of George Floyd, an African American man at the hands of police in the United States.
In light of this, the Indian Police Foundation has also issued a statement saying that it should serve as a lesson to cops all over the world.
America’s blistering outrage on the barbaric killing of GeorgeFloyd shd be a lesson to police communities across the world. Lays bare the deeply set biases of some officers. Takes courage & honesty to recognise & correct police bias which is often at root of targeted brutalities. pic.twitter.com/beN3Qo7lnc

However, this has not been sitting well with the Indian section of Twitter and it’s calling the IPF out for its ‘hypocrisy’.
We remember how cops attacked students at Jamia, AMU without provocation. We remember how cops let ABVP goons go unscathed when they attacked JNU students. You’re a disgrace.

One of the most disturbing videos to emerge during the communal violence in Delhi shows five bloodied men spread out on a metalled road being beaten up and forced to sing the national anthem by, purportedly, a group of policemen.https://t.co/jlZ6Fu24Pn
