About time, good for the Medvyed. Maybe now, we will have one police dept. in Moscow, not multiple half-criminalized "groupings". Recently conducted a social experiment, a man was lying face down and not moving on the steps of an underpass in front of New Arbat Metro station.
Called him an ambulance. Then, asked a cop nearby to do something. Cop, sorry I am Metro police, he is not in the Metro. "But, he is unconscious and could be in danger..." Dead stare. Well, you can understand him, he had to milk all of the kiosks and the occasional Central Asian passing through, where was he supposed to find the time. Same with the DPS officer. Well... can't blame him. Guy's got to make a living, and the unconscious guy wouldn't have helped in that. An actual policeman, you ask? Well they don't really hang about. Ambulance did not arrive in 10 minutes. This, about 300 meters away from the Kremlin. What if it was you or me or someone we know/love or maybe don't even like all that much who passed out on a Moscow street or had an accident on a Moscow road, how many policemen in Luzhkov's Moscow would simply walk/drive past? Enough bad, stale Luzhkov. Enough was too much. _______________________________________________ Expat mailing list [email protected] http://www.lists.ru/mailman/listinfo/expat http://www.expat.ru/forum/
