  • I'll give it to the Chinese they definitely have some very snappy outfits there. The security guards look really butch in that photo. They must know that they're going to beat the living daylights out of pacifists since they're not wearing sidearms or helmets. At least when the Israeli's and US DF's shoot kids and pacifists they're dressed in body armor.

  • The thing that struck me about this picture was the ripple in the police's forearms.

    He is swinging into that.

  • Maybe you should forward those onto Blackwater. They're looking for a few more loose cannons.

  • More likely one of the "second tier" outfits who employ South American ex-military.

  • What the hell is the matter with the commentators on this page? Uniforms? Rippling muscles? Try to imagine the victim being beaten to a pulp is your mother or father, girlfriend or you. Get the picture?
