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?

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?

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.

But the police's should be a lot higher and they should go there expecting to be screamed at.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
