Nao cola, Igor. Tem muito jeito de se identificar um policial. Como falei com um amigo meu - eh muito mais perigoso uma policia bandida do que um crime bandido - por que o crime, pelo menos, esta fora da lei.

I guess that the rumors that our generation had the last “happy childhood” were true…

Sobre a foto, se fosse no Brasil ate teria uma justificativa melhor. As vezes os policiais podem ter medo de represalias do crime organizado (vc deve ter ouvido falar do PCC ultimamente…) e uma foto poderia ser usada para identificacao. Vai saber…

> Their shoes were removed and mugshots, DNA samples and mouth swabs were taken.

Well, just to keep the crazyness going on:

in UK, three 12-year olds were arrested for climbing a tree and trying to make a treehouse out of its branches.

Whoa!

My only visit to the US did not leave a good impression. In downtown Atlanta, there was a sign:

“No cruising allowed: passing this sign more than once between 10:00pm and 6:00am is an offence”

From other recent news, like throwing out a 7-year old student from her school for hugging another, do not improve the impression I have. The place seems to be becoming an extremist state.

With the news of increasing racism in Europe, I would like a more mixed place, such as New Zealand or Canada.
