Personally I dont find anything wrong with this police act...if I will be police officer I would try NOT to hit his genitals or face...thats all
 
I don't understand what the protesting is actually intended to accomplish.

What was the goal?

More than anything it appears to be masses of adults who lack basic control of their emotions....
 
A lot of these people are paid protestors. You can tell by the professionally made signs. They get bussed in. It's quite the racket.

You nailed it. The "adult" version of a temper tantrum.

That's how I see it. I don't feel sorry for the guy who took the shot to the Jimmy. Had he stayed home that day or decided not to kick things back at the police his day would have been a whole lot better. I don't think they were aiming there, but accidents do happen, and that one was totally avoidable.
 
Protesting comes in so many forms from the minority being violent to vast majority being quite passive. The violent make the camera.

Boston was a decent example of a (thousands) mass of peaceful folks with maybe 25-50 folks like you describe. Beyond effective getting the group the unwelcome message who left early under police escort. Boston was wrong time and place for the extreme group to hold a rally.

I'm not sure how many people actually know who that is - and that's the point for him. Most of the demonstrations these days are overwhelmingly people that want to make their voices heard about something and have no intention of mischief. But there's a lot of "professional" types and people paid to join in, with some of them being troublemakers, and then there's some that even cause trouble for free.
 
Order out of chaos.

"If a crisis of opportunity does not present itself in the time frame you need, why not ENGINEER a crisis to fit your goals? This is a tactic that has been used by elites for generations, and it is called the Hegelian dialectic.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel’s work was the very foundation of the collectivist/socialist ideology, and it inspired Karl Marx during his writing of The Communist Manifesto. Hegel was an avid statist who believed that the collective must be ruled and directed by centralized governance and that all individualism should be sacrificed for the greater good.

In his dialectic theory, Hegel conjured a strategy by which the establishment elites could control the masses through deliberately created division. To define the Hegelian dialectic method simply, the ruling body must first trigger a problem or crisis that causes the citizenry to react with fear and demand a solution. The rulers then offer a solution, which they had already predetermined before they had started the crisis; this solution would usually entail more power for the elites and less freedom for the citizens."

Absolutely agreed however these guys were quite effective and even got acknowledged by POTUS in his rally they were protesting at. Clearly worked.
 
Hmmm...

I'm wondering if perhaps it's time I got off my backside and started joining the occasional protest. Smell the wind and after decades of relative calmness, there's definitely something nasty in the air. I'm not quite sure exactly what it is but it's being driven by a lot of angry people, shrieking hysterical arguments, who are determined to get what they want and bugger anyone that disagrees with them.

There's a demonstration against Brexit being organised in Manchester. I'm pondering whether I ought to go. Part of me thinks I ought to attend given that Brexit is probably the stupidest act of national self-harm we have embarked on since Suez. I don't give a stuff that democratically 'they won'. A 51.8 to 48.2 result, is a mandate to leave things exactly as they are because there's no agreed way forward. It's not a mandate to create chaos which will take decades to resolve. However I suspect it will get very ugly because our right wing Brexit believers have always thought that political discourse starts and ends will giving someone a good kicking.

Guess I'm going to have to decide how brave I am. If I do go, I've definitely going to give 'the Crown Jewels' some protective padding to avoid the fate of the guy in the clip!

So do you only have an issue with Democracy when you don't get what you want?

The EU is a development of Nazi economic planning for a post WW2 Europe after they expected to win.

It is not in the interest of the UK.

The EU and Politicians have been pretty successful in brain washing millions in the UK that the EU is beneficial to the average Britain.

You have to ask where the average failed UK Politician goes after Westminster?

Oh thats right, they head the corrupt EU.

Consider Neil Kinnock.

Consider an unelected and unaccountable organisation having more power than the democratically elected Government of a Country.

And pleass tell me when the EUs Accounts were last signed off?

Actually thats a trick question, they have never been signed off.
