Fear and Loathing in Norway, part 1: Police violence has found it's aptly named (literally: "the violence") poster boy!

In Norway's latest Rodney King-like affair, this police officer



managed in mere minutes, during a questionable arrestation procedure at a municipal welfare center, to cause the violent death of the following Norwegian-African - Nigerian Eugene Ejike Obioras:



The Norwegian Police, in turn - and handled by this very officer's former colleagues at the Metro Police District of Norway's third city, Trondheim - preferred last week to rather effortlessly drop the IA-charges against both him, and all of the other three arresting officers.

The Norwegian people will not rest until this officer is indicted and made subject to open penal proceedings, in respect of the principles of due diligence, high moral and legal principles and of a fair trial for all involved parties.

At times it is necessary and expedient for the people to perform acts of civil disobedience; not at least at times when the police; the body assigned by the government and the laws to uphold law and order; find it sufficient to investigate themselves - in a very questionable affair of (alleged) involuntary manslaughter - and drop all charges summarily.

The dropped charges are now the subject of an appeal to the highest office of public prosecutors in the Kingdom of Norway (the attorney-general; riksadvokaten).

We the people question the conclusions, the complacent police collegiality and the IAD's management of underlying source material, and appeal to the better judgment of the attorney-general.

Join in and keep up the pressure! This is the Good fight (with a capital G)!

The Officer's surname is "Volden" (forename Trond), which in English literally translates as "the violence" (some coincidence, really - or is it poetic "justice"?).
