The union representing Italian police has demanded that prosecutors charge Nina de Chiffre with sexual assault and insulting a public official. De Chiffre kissed the visor of a riot policeman's helmet during a protest in northern Italy.

    The quote: "No peace message," she wrote on Facebook. "I would hang all these disgusting pigs upside down."

    Horrible! Disgusting! Unfathomable! Inconceiv... I wonder if she would come to VA?

  4. CJR   11 years ago

    The fact that 'insulting a public official' is a crime really tells you all you need to know.

    Sometimes man you jsut have to roll with the punches.

    Really liked her in Casino Royale.

    How sweet, he even has his eyes closed.

    As one who rarely sides with anything that bolsters police arrogance and union I'm with the cop on this one. She also licked her finger and tried to place it in his mouth. Most men in civilized countries would be tried and imprisoned for sexual assault over something far less sexually aggressive than this. The law applies equally and just as harshly both ways.

      Let's see how the Jezzies roll with it.

      1. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

        Please stop using disrespectful, hateful terms like Jezzies. The correct term is Jezbian.

        1. JW   11 years ago

          Jezarridans.

      2. Agile Cyborg   11 years ago

        They successfully embody the meaning of their chosen label.

    2. Apatheist ?_??   11 years ago

      I agree somewhat too. The entire point was to provoke him. If he physically resisted then everybody would be up in arms about the thug police, so he stood there and took and and file a complaint.

      That said maybe this could be handled better as a civil case or with a very light penalty.

    If I had access to youtube at work, I would link the video if the stinky hippy placing daises in the gun barrels of riot troops during anti-Vietnam protests.

    There's no way that a threat like that would get so close to a riot cop today, without a beatdown.

  10. Invisible Finger   11 years ago

    I will love the police as they beat the shit out of me in the streets.
