A policeman that was caught on camera saying that if he would be dismissed he would “go to the streets to rip, rob, and kill” (video [1] [ru]) was dismissed, lenta.ru reported [2] [ru]. The dismissal (result of a bloggers’ activity in spreading the word about the case), however, didn't solve a broader issue of legal nihilism among Russian policemen.
