Chinese Police Staff Damage Government Property In "Highly Unusual Protest"

BEIJING (AFP) -- About 100 police employees damaged government property in a highly unusual protest in China over inadequate pay, a human rights group said on Wednesday.

At one point, the demonstrators damaged chairs and other property at the local Communist Party headquarters, it said.
