Russian police will from now on be allowed to stop and frisk anybody they want at any time. Police officers will also be allowed to enter private residences at will whenever they like and conduct searches of people, property, and vehicles without due cause. The state is investing the police with “the presumption that every action they commit in the course of performing their duties is justified.”
The Russian police will now be allowed to fire into the crowd whenever they feel it’s justified.
Recently, two Russian police officers brutalized a “black”* man because he laughed while talking on the phone and that annoyed them.
The Russian police are also known for the extraordinarily brutal ways they treat peaceful protesters and journalists. Several passersby who had the misfortune of walking past a political protest back in May of 2012 are still in jail for subversive activities.
* This was a man from the Caucasus region. In Russia, people from that region are referred to as “black”, even though they are obviously not, and are treated in a very vicious, racist way. This just goes to show that even when there are no black people in sight to hate, they are invented.
