The Omon swat team is an elite unit within the Russian police force, and they don’t pull their punches. The unit is comprised of 2,000 cops whose techniques are notoriously brutal. Trouble is brewing in this elite police force.Members of the Omon unit are starting to rise up against their superiors, accusing them of illegal goings-on. After a letter they sent to President Medvedev went disregarded, they turned to the media. These days, allegations of corruption are regularly printed in the newspapers. But by going public with their complaints, the Omon officers are taking a serious risk.
