Usually, posts like this are given the headline: "This is already the death throes of the regime." *On Thursday, Russia’s Internal Troops of the Interior Ministry conducted tactical special exercises in the Moscow region, attended by Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev. According to the exercise scenario, in a certain populated area a large group of pensioners came out to protest, demanding social support, and blocked a federal highway. As Interfax reports, the spontaneous protest was "dispersed" using the latest water cannons, stun grenades, and tear gas. Thus, by decision of the Russian Interior Ministry leadership, Internal Troops special forces were deployed to break up the unauthorized rally and clear the highway, using the latest small- and medium-class water cannon vehicles, the "Groza" and the "Shtorm." Within a matter of minutes, with the help of stun grenades, tear gas, and water cannons, the large crowd of "pensioners" was scattered, and some of them were "arrested." *http://news.yandex.ru/yandsearch?cl4url=www.gazeta.ru%2Fnews%2Flenta%2F2009%2F10%2F29%2Fn_1419183.shtml via a link from ostrich_s For those who think this is fake, here’s a link to Vesti.ru My point is that beat cops can gun down as many innocent citizens as they like.
