Police in Glasgow tried to seize “evidence” from a queer, Yiddish, anarchist vegan cafe. The high crime? Displaying a “fuck the police” tote bag in their window.

The police forced the cafe to removed the bag for “breach of peace” but staff put up an identical bag right after the seizure. Officers challenged co-founder Morgan Holleb when the bag was back up.
