Today the immensely popular blog Boing Boing published an item titled ”Savage beatings for pro-democracy, anti-Putin protesters in Russia” which included a youtube video (with links to other such amateur videos from the Moscow protest) showing how the riot-police intimidate , beat up and otherwise kick the shit out of anyone in their way.

But I ask myself if this really has anything to do with Putin–who was recently elected by a landslide in Russia and is no doubt the most popular leader in the free world, other than demonstrate clearly the dangers of giving riot police a blank cheque to do as they wish whenever a democratic protest is held?

I conclude that these videos show nothing but police brutality. The first video above has about as much to say about PUTIN as the bottom video has to say about CANADIAN politicians. No more, no less.
We should be shocked with police brutality no matter where it takes place!
