    Today in Sweden the leader of a major political party DID criticize the police... For not firing live ammunition at a counter demonstration against a nazi Koran burning. And it's not as if the police let them be. They did their police stuff and put that counter demonstration down, they just did it using fear, pain and injury rather than wholesale slaughter. And they are facing criticism for that. I guess we put all of our marxism into exported childrens videogames and there wasn't any left for us.

    ...I also must point out that the video game seems to be using a picture that is... not necessarily representative of the Swedish police. Can't put my finger of it, but as a picture of Swedish police brutality something is off. Probably some minor detail in their uniforms.

        I feel like I should have a response to that as a marxist, but unfortunately I put all of my marxism into Spyro the Dragon 2: Ripto's Rage! so it could be consumed by American children and now I'm just fine with police violence.
