In most states in India police are taking strict actions against lock down violators including beating their ass up and giving them silly punishments, i do not support police brutality during this pandemic situation and today there is a terrible new coming from Punjab where people cut off the arm of a police officer when they tried to stop them. People are loosing their minds sitting at home and with brutality like these, its aweful.
I don't know what the attitude of the Indian police is on a day to day basis, but in the UK the police are asking for cooperation mainly. If they all started chasing people around with sticks I don't think their legitimacy would last too long.
