The inadequacy of Indian police — 5 Comments

  1. I don’t suppose you noticed that Luttwak contradicted the experts you approved in the other thread, in his first sentence citing “hostage rescue teams” in other cities that would handle a massacre situation better than Mumbai. (I suppose it would be hard to be worse than Mumbai.)

    Good thing we have experts, huh?

  2. By the time an HRT gets there, it’s too late. The perps were mowing people down as they walked, and they were going to kill any hostage they took. From the first round they fired, the goal should have been to kill them fast, out in the open. Gunshot, ramming with a garbage truck, Molotov cocktail, makes no difference. Take them down! This is no longer a “policing society” situation; this is a “protecting society from a warlike attack” situation.

    And we should (as Bobbitt phrases it) stockpile laws to deal with the situation, including immunity for the cops who fire back in that situation.

  3. Perhaps India’s best solution would be the formation (and assistance in arming) of an Indian version of the NRA…

  4. A country with its roots set in Ghandian pacifism is not going to be able to rise up against islamofascist violence anytime soon. The Indian military is, like ours, a different agent, directed against external forces. Maybe that explains the rising anger at Pakistan, but to what purpose? Will Pakistan become India’s Iraq?
