We live in a democracy right?
So why is it that demonsrators are coralled and contained for hours on end every time they decide to make a stand?
Would I be wrong in thinking that the Police in these situations are just looking to provoke a bit of "action"?
Is it acceptable to put pressure on legitimate demonstarators by pushing them into a corner and not allowing them to leave their chosen venue of protest?
In every demonstration there's always an element violent out of control people, who don't really care about the cause, they are thugs who just get off by aggitating a situation. These people are idots and need to be taken out of legitimate protests!
As modern technology is readily at the disposal of the Police and given they have considerable "physical resources" at their disposal, why can't they use this to go in and intelligently take out the trouble makers before things turn really ugly?
It has worked in football stadia for a the last few decades, so why haven't the Police learned from these football clubs on how to deal with violent demonstrations?
Would I be playing devil's avocate if i suggested that your average PC Plod is thick as two short planks, doesn't give a damn about justice, loves a good punch up and is there, "in for a penny in for a pound" to notch up some overtime? Nobody in command of these people has managed to up the game. Typical public sector workers with a can;'t do attitude!!
In my humble opinion, troublemakers could and should be plucked from the crowd, so legitimate peaceful demonstration can continue.
Scrub that idea, let us continue with giving these legitimised well paid thugs the right to bear down on and intimidate those who naively think they still have the right to make a peaceful protest!
Police intimidation is the main tool politicians use to deter the passive majority into submission, so let the message continue: Make a stand and we'll give you a good kicking and you won't have a leg to stand on! Put up and shut up!
If you earn enough money, you will tolerate the crap which is thrown at you. This is why most of us are armchair anarchists!
HAPPY DAYS!
