In the latest bizzare example of government abuse of the arbitrary and slow legal system, a person who turned off the police's water cannon which they were using to spray farmers in a protest has been charged with attempt to murder.
"Obstructing a public servant in the discharge of public functions" -- that would have made sense, but attempt to murder? Of course, because it's a non-bailable offense, so the police will now beat the shit out of him in custody. In the past few years they have maimed and killed scores of people during "interrogation". They don't need the charge to stick; they only want enough time with the accused to exact their own revenge for the minor irritation caused by the accused.
