...identification that they remove or lose before knocking some protesters over the head. Obviously China and HK are pathological cases, but police correctness in Europe also seems to be overrated.

There was a bloodbath in Italy at the G8 summit. UK, France and Germany are better, but there's still cases of police brutality.

Look, did the police in Italy go right next to your house and tear gassed the whole residential area?

That's my personal experience last night.

I was just outside my home, not at a protest. And now I can't even put on respirators to protect myself.
