From Dancer in the dark blog (translated by CDT):

April 7, officials of Hua Xiang, Fengtai District of Beijing led a local security force on their way to demolish farmers’ “illegal constructions.”

Photo from redredpei’s photos on Flickr:

This is NOT a film snapshot. It’s bloody news. The mafia-like men are members of the Forceful De-construction Team, whose job is to destroy the privately-owned buildings which are doomed to be removed by the government-related real estate companies. They look as cool as Godfather’s people, don’t they?
