MOSCOW - Russian Parliament Member Vladislav Dyomin and two
of his aides were stopped on the street in the early morning
last week for erratic behavior. As soon as the first officer
stepped out of his car Dyomin screamed, "Beat the cops!" and
punched him in the face with his fist. The three then stole
golf clubs from a nearby sport-utility vehicle and set to on
the officers with gusto. The altercation didn't break up
until another police car arrived on the scene. Dyomin then
produced his Duma documents -- which give him immunity from
prosecution -- and walked away free. One of his aides fled
while the other was detained. Not surprisingly, the trio had
been drinking.
