What they may be thinking about is the obvious tendency for
the
police to
get real busy during Fascist times. They've usually got a
"secret" in front
of their job description and carte blanch tendencies. Some
of
this stuff may
well be happening but to compare it to Fascist States of
lore
with people
being rounded up in stadiums to NOT play soccer doesn't do
anybody any good
as there is no basis in reality.
