This is a question Protest!

Sit-ins. Walk-outs. Smashing up the headquarters of a major political party. Chaining yourself to the railings outside your local sweet shop because they changed Marathons to Snickers. How have you stuck it to The Man?

It doesn't help with the likes of Tomlinson and that silly woman goading them, though.
Everyone's got a breaking point.

was that the woman
who was attacked by the police because he couldn't decide within 7 seconds that she wasn't packing a weapon at all and was in fact holding a carton of orange juice?

I'm saying everyone's got a breaking point
And having a faceful of people screaming abuse at you is not going to help your mood.

I've noticed that often a good way to avoid getting smacked about by the police at demos is to not scream abuse at them or call them names.

Yes everyone has a breaking point
But the police's should be a lot higher and they should go there expecting to be screamed at.

as that is their job

I absolutely agree.
I'm just saying that if you poke a dog with a big stick, it may well bite you.

Maybe...
just just had to be told twice? you know what they're like.

Yeah
Casualy walking away with his hands in his pockets, how could they react in any other way.

Yeah
He'd done the same thing - up to them and 'round and 'round a few times before.

As I said - if you poke a dog with a stick, it may well bite you. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying it's fact. Thus a way to reduce the chances of being bitten, is to not poke dogs with sticks.

Or, in this case, goad the police.

oh, please.
if you're policing a demonstration you expect will become violent (which it will, what with the kettling and the provocation and that), you really shouldn't be enraged to the point of assault by a man walking up to you with his hands in his pockets a couple of times.
(, Thu 18 Nov 2010, 13:25, closed)
Hence my not saying it's right.
But saying it's fact.

If you're a human being in society, you shouldn't go out looking for trouble.

Not that you'd believe it on any given night in a big city.

A good argument if we were talking about a guy who got bitten by a dog after poking it with a stick
But we're not. We're talking about a guy getting assaulted and killed by those charged with maintaining law and order after he walked around with his hands in his pockets.
