Firstly my apologies for my outburst. Sorry.
Secondly - it's a tricky climate we live in. The protesters are us. Every person who has been wronged by the system, every worker who has faced antagonism from corporations.
And the way we get treated? Kicked, beaten and treated like cattle.
Extreme Violator of T and C.... But at least you never got Banned right .....We all have our own reasons to have little outbursts but this is the time and these are the problems we are facing together..... Hopefully we can all rise to the occasion and avoid using violence or aggression to solve this one otherwise we will be our own undoing....

It's never good when people go to a "peaceful" demonstration and one side shows-up in armor, helmets and billy-bats - thats not a good sign for peace. But look at the video again and you will see an officer holding an unauthoried club in his hand at 5:14 - 5:23 mark. Is that standard issue equipment or standard for cracking heads?

I dont know why i put myself through watching those videos, i really dont. And the fact that every single person in that crowd stood there and let that happen is sickening...Its videos like that and others going around that clearly show that there is NO hope for humanity.
We are exactly the same as we have always been.
The concerning thing is that this is taking place in a country with more personal guns and military equipment that the UK government probably has, yet NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE is brave enough to show that they are not scared of these Police Officers.
I implore any US Citizen to justify to me, only 1 reason, why you think its acceptable for your "non-action" behaviour to occur when you see another human being treated like this.
If the US cant act for humanity, it'll be controlled, then the world really will be in a mess.
One thing i can safely say is that if that occurred here in Europe, there is NO WAY on this earth that the population would stand by without giving a fight!
