When a man with very little wealth and power is killed by the state it is swept away as an anomaly in the everyday workings of law and order. Yet, when a man who has made a career of enforcing the state order which creates poverty and disparity dies of natural and predictable causes he is praised for his efforts and held up as a nationalistic hero as we all pitch in for his funeral. That is disgusting.
