Polish Police Brutality

Polish Police stormed a convent and evicted more than 60 ex-nuns. They're "ex" nuns because their Mother Superior was fired by the Vatican for not being kosher.

The convent's electricity was cut off earlier this year, but local residents sympathized with the ex-nuns' plight and secretly funneled them food in the night." AP says it took several hours for police to remove the women, some of whom attacked the officers with an "onslaught of verbal aggression."
