The guy looks like a drag queen. In any case, these “officers” were shot for their usual fleecing of the people for victimless crimes. They built up their own reputation of being cold blooded killers and roving revenue collectors, so when they get a spoonful of their own medicine, I’m sorry to say (actually, I’m not sorry at all), but they can look in a dictionary between shit and Syphilis if they want any sympathy. Just think how much better life would be if there weren’t any petty, unjust laws for these gestapo thug storm troopers to enforce, better yet, no gestapo thug storm troopers at all.
