Police took mobbers for extremists

A harmless flash mob, started on August 8 by young people in Chelyabinsk, was rudely disrupted by police, reports Chelyabinsk.ru . According to the scenario, the “mob” participants had to get on the bus at the “Pioneerskaya” bus stop and, while he was going to the next stop, pretend to shake off insects, saying: “Fu, what a dirty thing”. It was not possible to carry out what was planned - the young people in the bus were met by the police, whose employees, without introducing themselves and without presenting their IDs, started grabbing mobbers and dragging them into the "UAZ".

“Obviously, they found out about the flash mob from the Internet,” said Artem, a participant in the rally. - I think we started to wait since the previous "mob". The current government is simply afraid of the organization of smart young people who do not drink at the entrances. I think all this is connected with the strengthening of measures against extremism. It can be seen, and now we have a flash mob considered extremism. ”
Law enforcement officials declined to comment, arguing that they did not know anything about the incident.
