    According to my Bengali friends, he belongs to an institution called ‘civic police’, and they are apparently often ex-hooligans. (If you’ve read One Piece, their relation to the local government seems to be similar to that of the Seven Warlords to the World Government.)

      Civic police and civic volunteers are supposed to be temporary employees that help the police during stressful hours like during festivals. But the current ruling party is basically using it to legally give money to their goons.

      You did not just compare a criminal to one piece. I’m dead.

        Closest comparison I could think of. What I understood is that these guys get a government job, and in return are expected to stop their hooliganism. But OP says below that it was originally a volunteer system that got corrupted over time.

        Plus Bengal is weebland so they’ll understand.
