ROME, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Footage of police beating pro-Palestinian students drew broad condemnation in Italy on Friday, with the opposition calling for the interior minister to address parliament over the episode. Student marches were blocked by police in the Tuscan cities of Florence and Pisa, with images of officers vigorously using their truncheons on school-age protesters in Pisa triggering outrage on social media and from politicians.

What is interesting is that the police force is probably mostly the same as it was before the neo-fascists came to power. It's almost like they just waited to be able to do that with little repercussion.

Far-right people are naturally drawn to police work in every country. Only the law and sometimes a sense of duty stops them from going fully SS.
