Person filmed wrongfully defacing police vehicle during the act
Revised Article:
Some jerk scribbled anti-cop graffiti on a police car in Bremen, Germany. The car was under surveillance, so they nabbed the 24-year-old crook nearby after checking the footage, according to the cops. The state's anti-terror squad has taken over the investigation.
The officers had parked their cruiser early on Saturday to handle a ruckus in an apartment block. The grumpy 24-year-old was leaving the building when they arrived on the scene.
The sneaky little man covered the driver's and passenger's doors of the police car with the slogans "1312" and "ACAB". "ACAB" is short for "All cops are bastards", a phrase infamous for its disdain towards the police, championed by troublemakers on the left and the far-left end of the political spectrum.
Now, the 24-year-old is facing charges for causing damage, and the anti-terror squad's on the case.
