Police Brutality again

When the Indians in Malaysia claimed that the government and the authorities especially the police handling them differently compared to certain race they claimed that they are being fair towards the Indians. It has been 50 years of discrimination against this community and late we are hearing that the police are being very hospitable against the Indians. There have been many cases where Indians have been treated less than animals in this country where Indians who were arrested by the police dies mysteriously while in custody, or go missing from detention and later found dead somewhere else and yet the police claim innocence, some being poured hot water on or being sprayed chemical water for lodging police report! Thank you, police for the best treatment towards the Indian as we will be forever indebted to you.
Why is that the police did not sprayed any chemical water when the UNMO youth staged various protest against the opposition throughout the country, or when they shamed the Palestine Embassy in KL by holding Hamas portrait and been told to bring it down. They even escorted some in marching which deemed not to cause any massive traffic jam but others are arrested for public disorder and how about thousands of UiTM students did a street march, where the police then? Didn’t these considered street protest which causes public discomfort?
The latest episode of the police brutality is some 300 supporters of Hindraf Leader P.Utayakumar were sprayed chemical-laced water. The supporters were accompanying nine people representing nine states and a relative of Uthayakumar, who intended to lodge police reports alleging that the Hindraf leader was denied proper medical attention for his ailment. Brickfields police chief Wan Abdul Bari Wan Abdul Khalid ordered chemical-laced water to be fired into the crowd with some 18 individuals who were arrested !
Where is the one and only self claimed Indian champion, the honorable ex-minister Samy Velu to defend these arrested Indians as he claimed to be in discussion with government to release the famous 5. What has the IGP and the government got to say about this treatment against the Indians? Do not push any community too far as history has many examples of backlash!
