[quote]Ukrainian riot police have allegedly beaten up a busload of government supporters, after mistaking them for opposition activists.

A coach carrying pro-government demonstrators was stopped just outside Kiev and boarded by riot police, according to anti-government activist Dmitriy Belotserkovets. Despite the passengers shouting "we're on the same side as you", police proceeded to beat them up, he said.

Speaking to Russian news website Novy Region, Belotserkovets said the coach was attacked because its number plates were from western Ukraine, from where many anti-government protesters have travelled. The group was in fact from the Crimean city of Sevastopol.

Realising their mistake, the police allowed the bloodied demonstrators to continue on their way, Belotserkovets said.[/quote]

Zealotry, thy name is the Ukrainian riot police.

What's the big deal? They're just giving out equal beatings to everyone, I think they should commended and given a raise for their work in the field of equality.

"Da, one beating for you, one for them, two for you, two for them.... would pro-government demonstrators like free vodka to make up for our beatings?"

It's happened before during mass demonstrations in my country. Hilarious shit when it happened, too, because people threatened to leave the parties and join somebody else.

Yeah, Ukrainians should just accept their corrupt government.
