A Greek childhood.



The video was taken last night during a march to mark the 4th anniversary of the murder of 15 year old Greek teen, Alexis Grigoropoulos by a police officer in central Athens. The killing set in motion a wave of protests and clashes which last for over a month.

I found the video disturbing considering that these same riot police units who stopped to tussle the little kid's hair had spend the morning attacking high school pupils who'd held their own protest march.
