a tweet by The Big Aquittal @BeattyLaw. The tweet reads: “Free Legal Advice: Do not ever give a statement to the police. They will say you can go home after. You can’t. They will say they just want to help. They don’t. They will say you are not a suspect: you are. Stop talking. Say nothing. Lawyer up. They are not your friend.”
arundhati roy is an Indian leftist activist and author, and this is a criticism of Gandhi and Gandhian politics. this context is important. she’s lived through the failure of gandhi-esque politics.
