How The Swiss Deal With Police Brutality
Zero Hedge ^ | 8/20/14 | Martin Armstrong

Posted on 08/20/2014 11:33:17 AM PDT by aMorePerfectUnion

With all the world's eyes firmly focused on Ferguson, Missouri; we thought the following clip from a Swiss soccer match would provide some context for what is possible...

As Martin Armstrong explains,

When a fan ran out onto a soccer field, several policeman tackle him and start beating him with clubs.

This conduct outraged the fans so much, people from the stands stormed onto the field and chased down the police for their inappropriate actions.

Video is great. Police quickly realize they are in deep stuff and flee. Fans go after police.

The moral of this story is that the next time a fan runs on the field interrupting a soccer game - let the soccer players beat the crap outta him.

No. Thinking. Not reaction.

soldiers aren't much better in the "thinking" department, if you're implying the military, or the politicians are calling the honesty, morality, right from wrong shots.

They're all as reactionary (via orders) as soccer fans.


When I was in school, a guy "called you out" and you either met him outside after school with all the girls watching, or you didn't with all the girls knowing ... either way ... you won or lost and if you fought.. win or lose .. it was over for the rest of the year.

Eric Holder is in town... Governor Jay Nixon last night said we need to have a "VIGOROUS PROSECUTION" ... Jesse Jackson is in town... Al Sharpton is in town... they are all "beating the hell" out of Darren Wilson.

What are the people who value the rule of law going to do?

So the crowd of cop-haters around here sees this as an equivalent to a strong-arm robbery suspect (there’s an understatement) smashing the skull of an officer who then orders the suspect to stop, but instead, the 300lb, 6’4” maniac rushes the cop ostensibly to beat him to death. Yeah, I see the connection. I suggest you guys head for Ferguson and join the rest of the unthinking, crazed anarchists.

Swiss? I don’t think so. First of all, the Swiss would never act like that. Second, the advertisements - heck, everything in the video - makes it look like a second world country.

Comment at the webpage said that one of the teams was Portugese.
