Italian girl ?sexually assaulted? riot cop with a kiss
 

"An Italian student protester may end up in court after a photograph of her kissing a riot police officer started making the rounds and became hailed as a symbol of peaceful protest. She may now face sexual assault charges.

The incident happened in November during a demonstration against the construction of a rail link in the north of Italy.

Nina de Chiffre, a 20-year-old protester, had used the opportune moment to first kiss, then lick a police officer?s helmet visor. The moment was caught on camera, and the photo ended up going viral. It was hailed as an example of sending a message of love and peace and non-violent protest.

But the situation quickly went south for de Chiffre, after the Italian police union ? COISP ? ruled that the act was in fact sexual assault, and filed a complaint with a court in Turin, Italy?s La Repubblica reported this week.

?We have accused the protester of sexual violence and insulting a public official,? said Franco Maccari, COISP?s general secretary, adding that the union ?fully [expects] an investigation to start?.

Seeing the matter in a positive light is not on the cards, apparently, because ?if the policeman had kissed her, world war three would have broken out,? Maccari continued. ?Or what if I had patted her on the behind? She would have been outraged. So if she does that to a man on duty, should it be tolerated??

Maccari appears very angered by the incident and doesn?t see any message of peace in it. He said it was ?hardly a peace gesture, more a provocation.?

?A kiss is a positive thing,? he said, ?but in this context, between these two people, it was just disrespect,? Maccari concluded.

De Chiffre?s own explanation of her actions may surprise her supporters as well, as it confirms Maccari?s assessment.

?No peace message? I would hang all these disgusting pigs upside down,? the young Italian wrote on her Facebook page, local media reports.

Talking to La Repubblica, she explained that the kiss was an act of indignation at the police force for allegedly beating up another demonstrator.

But now her act of defiance has not only brought her wide acclaim, which she apparently had not asked for, but also may land her a criminal record. "

I'm sure the public there are thrilled at where some of their money is about to go

Not sure about the letter of the law in Italy; but I could see that happening. No means no and all that.

she could assault me..i am sure even that cop is embarrassed about this

give her 10 years in jail , yeahh

Jeeze....

I think protesters are fucking retards. It's great you disagree with something, and obviously you have the right to display your opinion about it, but don't tie up police resources and waste our tax dollars doing it. You want change, get into politics and make change.

That OWS shit was fucking retarded - They fucked up our city parks and cost us tens of millions in damages, police resources and over time, and then lawsuits.

Guess he doesnt like girls

Yes I agree this is sexual assualt. If you disagree then you are nothing short of a bigot and do not believe in equal rights. If a man kissed a female cop without her consent there would not be a person alive who would not consider it sexual assault.

can I be sexually harassed also?

Yea pretty much disrespect. Nice touch with the licking. In the US she would have been on the ground in cuffs.

I don't see any physical contact

She did close her eyes so it obviously was a passionate kiss... I say... burn her!

Right!

So she kissed his helmet... :2 cents:

bet it gave him wood

Am I missing something? The story says she kissed and then licked his visor so she never actually kissed him.

Seems kind of dumb. This sounds like a case of the powers that be being upset about protesters and trying to make an example of someone.

kiss me mmmm....

why does it say ITALIAN girl rather than just young woman why do we have to know she is italian?

Because it happened in Italy you twit.

Its really stupid and to me a waste beyond belief. But.

She got close enough to spit on his face and that is not good. She also as they say Licked his shield which is what they are most likely using against her. The kiss would he hard to win in court but the lick is a clear attempt to transfer bodily fluids and that is usually deemed as hazardous.

Stupid over all on both parts.

If it wasn't for protesters where would you be?

There were two interesting points to this story.

The first being that if the roles were reversed and a protestor had forced himself on a female cop there would have been major condemnation of that protestor and probably demands for action against him.

The second is that even the girl herself stated that it wasn't an "act of love and peace", it was basically a way of saying FU to the cops.

good news

now protesters can start suing police for sexual assaults

and now police can start justifying those 'full body searches' on underage girls

She probably hadn't had a shower in weeks. I'd have tasered the bitch!

Her ears look clean

Seems like equal gender treatment to me. Still...if he's straight and being kissed (without direct contact) by a relatively attractive female, then I think this is a bit of an over-reaction.
