One Cops faction claimed first Kick at the Kat and took its protest to the streets, only to be
tear gassed by a rival faction.
Umm Davie... WTF are you talking about?

As a little background to what is happening in the Birthplace of Democracy, in anticipation of the
Olympic Jingoistic Follies, everyone is striking for more money.
The police, coastguard, firefighters, most other public sector employees pkus the construction
workers on the Follies site are currently leading the charge.
The unspoken threat being, of course, that if you don't cough up more Roubles, your Olympic Follies
are History.
But so far the Government, or what passes as a government, is saying ''Up yer Kilt, Jock'' and
holding the line.
The construction workers are particularly strident since a worker was killed in a accident on the
site a couple of days ago.
So yesterday, there was the ludicrous situation where the cops were teargassing their own
colleagues.
