Photos of 2 cops in the anti-G8 cell

Geneva post-G8: videos, photos and testimony; everything helps on the trail of the rioters. A meticulous effort today to pursued by two detectives, who have made 200 arrests so far.

The [anti] G8 cell was nevertheless disbanded in December 2003. It has returned to service, much smaller: two detectives.

These detectives views films and photos received from informers and colleagues.

They go to demonstrations in Geneva where they hope to find "rioters."

Moreover, they take new photos in order to perhaps constitute a database of photos of activists susceptible of being future rioters in future riots in Geneva.

As one of the 2 detectives said: "I have seen two of my colleages lynched during anti-WTO demonstrations, in 1998. I will never forget it."

Perhaps there are other things that this detective will never forget. Because revenge is a dish best served cold.
