Violence of the State, In One Image

[fifthhorseman]

Relating to the violence in Turkey resulting from the tragic mine collapse, a great picture from CNN of Yusurk Yukel, an aide to the Prime Minister of Turkey, kicking a protester.  Yes, there is no context as to why he is (perhaps he was assaulted), but I felt like "Finally, a picture that shows the politicians doing their own dirty work".

 

Before, it is so difficult to link the two, but this image really captures it.  Notice how the police aren't even looking at the aide.

I bet he would be so bold without the armed thugs holding the victim down. What a pig. It is the truth, if one wishes to see it. Come and get my tax "contribution" without your thugs John McCain, Hilary Clinton, Harry Reid...Pigs, every one of them.
