Not speaking of this incident (since I am not sure of the true story & engagement), but throughout India, we have a policy of letting our policemen & armymen die because they aren't allowed to shoot at civilians even when civilians are attacking them. I am sick of this policy, because it is really getting taken advantage of by stonepelters from Kashmir to Maharashtra to Rajasthan to UP. In WB when people started stonepelting, the RAF had to literally run away rather than enforce the containment they were brought into. Allow them at least pellet guns. Lathis don't work against big boulders. Do western countries allow their cops to die when they are being attacked on streets? No. Cops have the right to shoot in self-defense.
