Assam Firing

Watch: After the inhuman act of evicting impoverished families hailing from the minority community and demolishing their modest homes in the Darrang district of Assam, Police opened fire at those protesting the evictions, killing at least two people and injuring more than 13.

As minorities find themselves at the receiving end of increasing police brutality, how do we justify death of civilians by bullets?
