... and these lawyers were being attacked by the police for protesting the declaration of emergency rule and suspension of democracy.  Yep -- that sounds like a good reason to beat lawyers.

On another whimsicial note...

+1 Mortarman. I guess Zipperhead Cop would agree to that as well. Hehehe...  ;D


But still...who said anything about being armed with JUST batons? hehehe...maybe they can use those nonlethal putty-shooting guns demonstrated for the US military in some documentary I saw, for riot control...
