And another thing, when the cop was shouting at her, "GET OUT OF HERE!" she asked him, "Where are we supposed to go?" Not only did he not give her a response, he didn't even give her a chance to go. He just knocked her down and dragged her off on the concrete. You going to tell me that that's not assault? In what universe?

@Mattprole I do not believe in the abolition of government.

The basic principle of the American Revolution and the US Constitution was the taking of power from the government and giving it to the people. 100 years of socialism have reversed this principle.

Here, you see it reversed. People cannot even protest before the ruling class.

@ronpaul2008rocks Judging by your name I take it you imagine a very particular solution to this problem (libertarianism, i.e., the abolition of Government power in most spheres of life). Many people who are not convinced of the philosophical integrity of libertarianism, feel that the Government, as it exists today, should be represented directly by the public it is supposed to represent. Dissolving Government completely would, I think, be a mistake. It's a tool - here being misused.

Here's the super-socialist state that Democracy Now has been promoting for many years.

Oh, yea! It's a great idea to centralize a lot of power in the federal government!

Oh, no! All that super centralized power has been taken over by special interests and is now being used against us!

Who could have predicted this?

Oh, just anybody who has studied history. (Not history as taught by TV or in public schools, but the real history mostly only available today in books.)

@gigololounging Having worked with the police in several roles for years, there is no doubt in my mind that it is the power trip.

Danish press got a hold of danish polices radio communication from protests during the climate conference and they were talking a gang going towards another gang. I think its the same with all police.

democracy is a mockery of freedom...it is nothing more than the tyranny of the majority over individuals
