On International Variations in Local Constabulary, #2
So you know how yesterday I mentioned my friend Bob’s protest, and how he had a video of one of his fellow protestors getting beaten up by a bunch of bully boys in police uniforms for his trouble?
And you remember how the guy was just standing there and a bunch of police officers came along and beat the hell out of him with their truncheons, or side-handled bars, or whatever it was they had?
Turns out they’re doing him for “lynching”. Is that mental or what? The ANSWER boys are suing, of course, but that has got to be one of the maddest things I have heard for ages.
Edit: ANSWER held a press conference. Bob’s posted a whole load of videos from the conference, including the victims, on YouTube.

Looks like they got a clear headshot of the sergeant though. Nice work. Pretty bloody depressing, though.
