	Antiprohibiční liga - UPDATE - International Day Against Police Brutality
		This day of protest first began in 1997, at the initiative of the Black Flag collective in Switzerland.
		However this doesn't mean that participating groups must be of that nature, only that political parties and other governmental bodies that would use this day of protest for their own opportunistic ends, would be doing a disservice to the public.
		For it is the poor, people of colour, the homeless, immigrants, sex workers, political activists, and all marginalized people in "society" that are the first to become victims of police brutality and the judicial system.

		Around the world, police are deemed as violent and terrible people, abusing their power to all sorts of ends.
