I think it’s shocked everybody the keystonekops look to the Bombay Police.

But, one to be fair, they for the most part are a constabulary, and more often carry bamboo sticks to beat back demos of various kinds.

To me, putting Enfields in their hands is more of a PR stunt anyway, which now stands exposed for what is was.

However, the lack of a SWAT type team was shocking to most.

As far as the officers you mentioned, I believe they were ambushed while in the car a distance away. They shouldn’t have been surprised. You are correct.

I hope the new security minister can crack heads and take full advantage of a strong desire for positive improvements.

When a simple photog runs up to "masses of police" screaming red-faced livid, "Shoot them! They're out in the open" and the cops do nothing, then you have to come to the conclusion that the cops in Bombay are only on the force to use the uniforms as a babe-magnet, not to protect and serve.

It's not like it's the first time Bombay has been hit and its a given that it's going to be hit again.

That PD needs to be broken down from the lowest recruit to the highest commissioner and someone needs to be brought in from NY or London or another big league PD and rebuild it from the ground up.

It's ridiculous to have "masses of police" immobilized against two crappily trained terrorists.
