If you are going to express your displeasure with the 20, and you are in a place where they ask you to move. Why not just move? Make your point, wave that sign like a mofo, but dont cry helpless when the same people who are hired to enforce a freedom you sleep warm and tight with at night, take action on orders given by the same officials you elected into office.
You cannot have the cake, and complain when it makes you fat.
The separation of powers is there to protect the individual from one of the three arms over running the other.
What pisses me off is the cameraman's assumption that the 'army' of police are there to enforce some atagonitstic agenda. If you have any idea what the 20's last few meetings have been like, you would understand why there needed to be controls to make sure it didn't get biblical.
I do not mean to pass judgment on a situation that occurred in a country of your own, and I understand how you would be almost instantly cautious.
But to the bloke filming the footage: I wanna smack you in the face with the same freedom and privilege that afforded you that apartment, the nice camera, the whinging bitch shocked at the brutality of a police force trying to do it's job, and the fact that if it really was shocking - some malitia would have smacked you in the face with a cactus and stole your blood diamonds... you teet-suckling, ungrateful bitch.
For fucks sake, someone has to keep order, and if thats as brutal as it gets. Try your hand filming a bread swap in the Ghaza strip instead of filming this shit. It's the hunger in his voice wanting something to be controversial that is ridiculous.
There has to be a line drawn somewhere. And if there was ever a place where that line would be drawn safely, it's Canada.
Plus: I love maple syrup :)
