Protest by action figures draws out real cops

Singapore, that bastion of free speech shut down an unauthorized protest by anime fans who set up a little protest by using their action figures with the police.
Anime fans in Singapore staged a micro-sized protest against a Singapore animation distributor by attaching tiny signs to plastic robot and monster statuettes and placing them in public.

The Singapore authorities responded by sending four riot vans. The organizer of the protest, Zer0 told reporters that the police removed the figurines and that plainclothes officers filmed them.
