When angry party workers and protestors disrupt life, destroy public property and block our roads, who do we expect to rush to our rescue, arrest the miscreants and shield us from harm and inconvenience? Certainly not cops, if you go by the curious conduct of a cop at a rasta roko in Kopri, yesterday. Putting his official duties on the backburner, this policeman, overcome by awe and admiration for Thane’s RPI(A) president, welcomed him, shook his hand, engulfed him in a bear hug and escorted him reverentially to his designated spot of disruption.
