A COP DIED, WHO KILLED? MAYBE ANOTHER COP…

In these days newspapers are full of articles about violence in stadium in Italy. Last week end, during a soccer match, there were clashes between "ultras" (something like "hooligans") of Catania and Palermo.  The match was taking place in Catania, Palermo supporters arrived very late at stadium; police has a responsibility, usually, when supporters arrive late: many controls, stupid question.

In the last years police exasperated ultras. In Italy, "stadium violence" has been the excuse to delibarate many special law on repression, such as thousands of people that every week end have to pass one hour in police station because they're not allowed to see a soccer match. It's sufficient that a cop says: "I saw this guy, he was fighting at the stadium" and then you will never go out of your town at week ends. 

But this time is incredible. A cop, Raciti, died last Friday during clashes between police and Catania supporters. At beginning, they sayd "ultras killed the cop with a BOMBA CARTA". Bomba carta, in English, you translate literaly paper bomb. Every newspaper, the day after, was saying "bomba carta by ultras killed a cop". And the day after they started to talk about new special repressive law on stadium.

In reality, after autopsy, it's clear  that the cop was killed by something very fast, with a sort of "star" shape, that was launched against cop's liver (fegato in Italian). 

What is something very fast, with a shape like a star in the tip, that is usually launched at liver height? Tear gas, my dear Watson!
