As you can see, the 'dedicated' female police officer felt the owner of this Range Rover wanted to show her he was above the law and decided to show him what she is made of. She promptly jumped on top of the vehicle. This happened in a busy street in Lagos where the lady was carrying out duties.

Is a “color revolution” underway in Armenia?

Electric Yerevan’ is Sliding Out of Control

by Andrew Korybko for Sputink

Armenians have taken to the streets to protest a planned 17-22% increase in their utility bills, initiated by the Armenian Electricity Network due to the Armenian dram’s dramatic depreciation over the past year (about equal in percentage to the price hike itself). While it’s understandable that some in the economically struggling country would be upset by the $85 or so cumulative increase in payments each year, many find it troubling that some individuals have resorted to arming themselves and aggressively attacking the police, and it’s confusing that the participants would reject government appeals to negotiate if all they were really after was to repeal the electricity rate increase.
