File talk:Putin the Tyrant.jpg

(later I'll double check this is how presented - I don't recognize the photo, but it does look consistent, and the lettering should be either Ukrainian or Russian and easy enough to call for sure, but pending that, I'm willing to sign my own petition) --Caustic Logic (talk) 14:07, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Sign the Petition!

Human Rights Watch,

Acknowledging the staggering challenges of the Ukraine conflict, we cannot afford to ignore the increasingly repressive and indeed genocidal domestic policies of the Ukrainian junta that directly caused the anguish seen in the photo at the top of your petition to SecState Kerry. As Russia is the only world government showing any interest in that epic Human Rights violation, it's rather twisted to use an image of it in to boost your drive against insanely lesser crimes alleged in Russia (and perhaps lacking evidence, considering how you had to scrape around for this photo to make your point best). Sincerely, - Adam J. Larson (aka Caustic Logic) --Caustic Logic (talk) 14:07, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * - Support the petition. There are HR problems in Russia; and there are HR problems in the  USA and UK (economic/labor,  and other); but Ukraine HR problems  are immense in comparison. Continuing to ignore, in effect, problems in Ukraine, such as deaths, injuries,  and unjustified arrests related Odessa May 2 events,  will seriously undermine trust needed to stand for HR issues elsewhere.   --Resup (talk) 23:21, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Lettering on the back of black uniform is not Russian, there is no "i" letter in Russian alphabet at all. міліція is Ukrainian (міліцыя is Belorussian, Russian is милиция (outdated, replaced by полиция, since 2011). If this graphics takes a broader imaginative view, I do not know why it is "Putin" and not "White House", or "USA-Russia Famous Friendship society", or "HRW" itself, or whatever. --Resup (talk) 14:55, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
