bilby commented on the word testeria
"The papers maintain that a few rogue officers got out of control. But as testimonies collected by Climate Camp’s legal team show, police violence at the G20 demos was organised and systematic. It is true that the police appear to have been carried away by testeria (a useful word which describes testosterone-fuelled male rampages)."
