So... You stand with the lawless police, the Executive ignoring limits on his power, and the Russian attempt to reform the USSR.

Got it.

I’ll side with those who just want to be free from such BS.

From the "KyivPost"; Feb. 19, 5:58 p.m. The Security Service of Ukraine announced today that it is launching an "anti-terrorist operation." To find out exactly what that means, the Kyiv Post asked political analyst Taras Berezovets. He said that the declaration essentialy means that the SBU -- as the state agency, the successor to the Soviet-era KGB is known -- "can search, seize property, detain protesters at will," without a court order or other legal safeguards. Berezovets, director of Berta Communications, a political consultancy in Kyiv, said that “they can detain and interrogate anyone who they suspect of being terrorist. They can kidnap you from street and keep you in jail without notifying families for up to 72 hours.” The SBU law enforcement officers can also search property, such as vehicles and offices, and seize property at will, Berezovets said. Moreover, the SBU can force mobile phone and internet service providers to cease operations, he said. “With this kind of operation, they don’t need any kind of permission from courts, as they usually do, in this case,” he added. -- Christopher J. Miller.

Compounding tyranny.

That oughta calm things down. Or, you know, not...
