So just saying you want to have a meeting gets you arrested?

I agree most police departments these days feel as if they're and extension
para-military these days and will dress to kill but trust me, those arrested
weren't wearing selfie smiles.

Weren't clashes? We must have not seen the same report then.  That's ok.

Agreed, the desired reaction is always up to the protographer but some things
can't be photoshopped.

  ak>> who were detained in Moscow made selfies inside the police
  ak>> buses and even smiled. I don't justify the authority at all.

 ak> No, the state TV didn't show  Navalny's meeting. But all the Russians

Didn't think they would if he was arrested by mind police. 

 ak> could see it watching Euronews, the channel that can see all the people
 ak> in Russia.

I'll have to look into that.

Enjoy...
