Internationally, police officers who mutilate or kill people on duty usually get off scot-free, often without the cases even making the news. The Swiss internet site PigBrother.info exposes such cases and the police weapons involved.

Pigs are beautiful Police are not.

I know people prob think that I am making a fuss, but it's a shame that the word pig is constanly used to describe the police.
Pigs are intelligant
the police are not,
pigs are social animals
the police are not
pigs are basically wonderful animals who are treated appaulingly by the animal abusing industry
the police are basically oppressive people who get away with all sorts of abuse including murder. and protecting the animal abusing industry!

I've met a few rescued pigs in my time and they are far superior to the police officers I have met.
