Brickbat: Going to the Dogs

A Tunisian court sentenced rapper Ala Yaacoub, also known as Weld El 15, to two years in prison for insulting the police after he recorded a song that called police dogs and criticized them for being violent. An appellate court reduced that to a six-month suspended sentence.

We can't let someone go around calling the police dogs. They might have to start shooting one another.

Baha Men were unindicted co-conspirators.

Although Weld El 15 was not a particularly well-known performer in Tunisia

Well he is now. The only upside to this sorry tale is that bone-headed repression is so damn counter-productive
