re the relative (or is it near-total) silence by those who were very hyperactive wrt Micky Mouse, before ALL the facts of the case were known .... Â Gabe Menezes responded ( surely, unacerbically) : After your very respected legal opinions on the matter, I for one decided to defer to superior knowledge, okay?
RESPONSE: My dear Gabe, Nothing spectacular (on my part) about stressing that one needs to take due care to ensure that the State (including the policia) never becomes too powerful. When that happens, the rights of the less-able are easy to trample upon. Please do spare a moment to read the reported happenings in Gujarat and the alleged use of unmitigated power by the police.
