Police is busy in a makeover. Now it has flown ‘experts’ from US to train the seniors in handling law and order situations, humanely. ‘Experts’ from Harvard University presided over a week-long workshop that talked about how behaviour changes could be brought about in the cops manning the streets and having frequent interactions with the citizenry. The moot point, newspaper reports suggested remained as ‘how the cops would manage their anger in wake of the protests.’ So what can happen now? Will the cops smile or laugh at protestors? They, obviously, will have the last laugh!
