Irrelevant.  There was no winter storm on at the time.

The story is clear.  Aboriginal advocacy groups have made it
impossible to punish and book a miscreant Indian.  Honest indians have
to put up with unpunished criminals in their midsts, the  while police
out of frustration take the law into their hands and use punishments
like this.

I wonder what they Turkey did to rile the Police up so much?
