Brutal beating of an immigrant by Police caught on camera

@ | 20.04.2012 21:52 | Anti-racism | Repression | Social Struggles

In a new video published today the brutal beating of an immigrant by the Police was caught on camera by a resident from his balcony.



In a new video published today the brutal beating of an immigrant by the Police was caught on camera by a resident from his balcony.

This video has not been recorded in Iran, Syria or Egypt. This has been recorded in the modern Greek (self-proclaimed) Democracy.

The place where democracy was born has turned into a political and economic dictatorship where politicians and the police are above the law. That is why you see so many fierce riots erupting so often. People do not give up, they are resisting and revolting against this modern junta.

Bloody hell!

And the sad thing is this happens all over.

Just goes to prove that the police do sometimes help themselves to violence if they think they can't be seen and when they get up in court, the civility kicks in and butter wouldn't melt.

Sad.

In justice we swerve.

"do you really think we aren't going to hurt you just because people are watching? wait till you one in the face, right in the middle of the street. see how shocked you feel then."

Happily if a police officer did that in the middle of the street with witnesses then I would quite happily break his legs.

Self defence is a defence.

But we all know that would never happen because they are cowards, and wait for the right opportunity to emerge before they break the law.

The cops in that video clip are all cowards. Every single one of them.

In front of a court and a judge, its amazing how civil, concerned and caring they suddenly become.

I have my own experience of bent cops. So I speak from experience.

Air freshener.

"Yeah, course you would. Get back to World of Warcraft."

I can, therefore I would.

But that would never happen because the police only beat weedy types up and only when they are in gangs.

Sad, but true.

If you get this kind of treatment on the street then you are legally obliged to defend yourself. So its a matter of obeying the law.

For some reason you seem to think that's not right!!!
