"If the best they can do is to be a smartarse to a policeman God help us all. "

Funny, I was thinking the same thing about people who comment on 2 year old Youtube videos with sweeping generalisations.

So were you there to protest the APEC summit or merely to get on your high horse and annoy the cops?

[SBDProductions]

I was there with a camera, and filmed a member of the public excercising her right to ask a person in authourity a question or two.

Sorry, do you have a point or are you chiming in 14 months later with such witty insight that you clearly worked so hard on?

Most of these students are studying arts and sociology degrees (i.e: worthless). It gives them a false sense intellectual superiority.

Baton to the face!

all you people are fucking wankers, these people are standing up for our rights while you bitch and complain

[lomdom2008]

i question why people act as if the mere presence of police is hinging on their rights, the police are there to ensure order is maintained and the protestors are there simply to voice an argument but in doing so much realise that they are already causing a scene by doing so. give the police a break, they are just doing their jobs and have better things to do than control a smart ass mob with a message. thats my 2 cents anyway

@Whitetiger141 On the ball mate, they lack the understanding that occassionally....secrecy is required to maintain national security

Transperancy is not synonymous with honesty!

[oooooPANooooo]

@Whitetiger141 And you think a law degree makes you superior?Laws are passed by politicians and we all know how honest those bastards are!!

[oooooPANooooo]

If I am being harassed and abused by the biggest Gang in Australia, I will need something to identify you with..DO THE JOB YOUR BEING PAID FOR AND WEAR YOUR ID...THE LAW REQUIRES IT!!

@SBDProductions she wasn't "asking question or two" she was being challenging. Look at her whole demeanor and attitude. It's completely inappropriate. Who cares about the name tag anyway? Apparently you're both a pain in the arse. You should take this off youtube; it's been here long enough.

[Jonodabomb]

yeah the nsw police officer isnt wearing her name tag, get over it she is doing her job, name tag doesnt really do much, its just a name tag.

Wait I just realised that you were speaking with NSW Police Officer by looking at the arm shield, so why write AFP?
