'To Remind the Police of Their Violent Actions ... Demonstrators Lined Up With Mirrors to Show Cops Their Reflections' [Pic]

From the Kyiv Post:

At noon on Dec. 30, protesters in central Kyiv held mirrors in front of police for 30 minutes to commemorate the night of Nov. 30 when riot police used excessive force to breakup a peaceful rally on Independence Square consisting mostly of university students.

In a gesture to remind the police of their violent actions that memorable night, EuroMaidan demonstrators lined up with mirrors to show law enforcement personnel their reflections. The civic demonstration took place near walkways and streets that lead to the government building district where police have been stationed. The buildings include the president's headquarters, Cabinet of Ministers and central bank, among others.

Protesters also held posters that read, "Who and what are you protecting?" in reference to President Viktor Yanukovych and his appointed government whose ouster they have called.
