Vladimir Putin Violent Anti-LGBT Crackdown Mockumentary Facebook Movie Going Viral

The parody video, styled on the recent spree of data-mining movies that Facebook has been pushing to promote its 10 year anniversary, shows dramatic images of anti-LGBT violence in Russia under its president, Vladimir Putin.

The video says that President Putin joined Facebook in 1975, an impossible feat, but not impossible if the Russian president is advancing propaganda. Interspersed with official-looking photographs, like of the Russian president signing decrees, are depictions of state-sponsored violence of LGBT Russians. Whereas authentic Facebook movies end with the iconic Facebook like button of the "thumbs up" facing upwards, the Putin parody video ends with the "like button" turned upside-down, expressing growing worldwide dissent on Russia's draconian enforcement of its anti-LGBT law.

This latest video adds to the growing digital backlash from LGBT and ally activists playing out on social media now during the Sochi Winter Olympics.

Half a dozen NYPD officers reportedly involved in motorcycle gang attack, reports NY1

At Least Six Cops Took Part In Biker Gang Attack On SUV

NY1 just reported that there were at least half a dozen NYPD officers involved in the motorcycle gang attack of a couple weeks ago, and the NY1 anchor Ruschell Boone added in her report that that number could rise.

Last week, it was reported that undercover NYPD Internal Affairs officer Wojciech Braszczok took part in the violent motorcycle gang attack.

Following Mr. Braszczok's arrest, it was revealed that he had been an undercover officer that had infiltrated and spied on Occupy Wall Street.

Yesterday, DNA reported that a "fourth NYPD officer came forward Friday admitting he was riding with the road rage mob of motorcyclists involved in the vicious beating of a Manhattan father in Washington Heights nearly two weeks ago."
