of police sharpshooters killing protesters.
saw a bad one on live leak yesterday. disgusting that any policeman could do such a thing. if i were ordered to something like that to my countrymen, I'd turn the barrel on the guy ordering it!

makes you think how far over the line the police in the USA would go.
personally, i think there would be rivers of blood.
