The woman being beaten here is Alexandra Kaluzhskikh, an antiwar protestor.

*the translator mistakenly says she is pleading the "fifth" but she is invoking article 51 of the Russian constitution.

Very disturbing audio recording of the interrogation of a woman arrested today at an antiwar protest in Moscow. “Bitch, you gonna answer?” “I plead the fifth.” [he punches her] “You gonna answer, shithead? I can do worse.” “I plead the fifth.”

The 100th monkey theory, the broken window theory etc and they all point to the same thing. There’s always a tipping point. When do you think those protesting will realize they outnumber the police? That they have, in just shear numbers, the ability to overrun those trying to arrest them? That they have nothing left to lose. That if they are going down they are taking the ones with their foot on their necks with them.

Until, unless, truth is finally believed over there, the numbers protesting will be small - "Soros backed rabble-rousers spouting "fake" news."

Propaganda is extremely effective...
