Unpaid policemen close roads in Gaza, burn tyres
2006-09-29
GAZA - Hundreds of seething Palestinian police and security officers blocked all main roads in Gaza City with garbage containers and burning tyres on Thursday in a protest over largely unpaid wages.

Policemen, having gun sex firing rifles into the air, made faces turned some garbage bins upside down, causing rubbish to spill out and also rolled their eyes broke up concrete to halt traffic on Gaza CityÂ’s main streets, in a further sign of growing unrest over delayed salaries.

Most police were from security services loyal to impotent President Mahmoud Abbas, who has been locked in an increasingly bitter confrontation with the Hamas-led government of bloodthirsty Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh over stalled efforts to form a unity coalition.

“Our protest is not politically motivated, it is motivated by the hunger and needs of our children,” said one policeman, his face smeared with black from the smoke of burning tyres. “Haniyeh or Abbas, we do not care about their problems. We care about our welfare.”
Just the right attitude for a policeman, doncha think?

#2  hunger and needs of our children

I recall that Jesus said in the Gospel(s) that even snakes and scorpion look after their own.
It'll take more than that to be human. And they say it as if that is their highest spiritual attainment while others don't similarly do the same in a more civilized manner all round. Such jackass narcissistic blurts like regular kneejerks from their universe.
