[22:24:57] <x> 08└─Yes, my bad. I forgot all about the crazy backlog that India's justice system has. In this case, the police never should have taken them prisoner. They should have been shot to death while resisting arrest. Hey, if US cops can get away with shooting unarmed people in the back, then claim that they f...
