[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 424900, member: 33"] This is good and protestors shouldn't allow the police nor the government to intimidate them. I've been on pro-Palestinian protests in London recently and the police presence and tactics have been totally disproportionate to the risk of things getting out of hand. They were peace marches and the crowds were always well behaved and good humoured. However, here in the UK, the previous Conservative government brought in laws to severely restrict our right to protest and the police have the right to stop or control protests as they feel is appropriate. At a recent march MPs Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell were arrested and detained. Ultimately the police decided not to take any further action. John McDonnell later said[I] "If marching in a peaceful protest has now become even considered potentially to be a crime in our country we have entered a truly worrying political moment". [/I]He is right. In the USA, your constitution protects your right to protest so people should value and exercise that right and not let the strong police presence intimidate or deter them. [/QUOTE]
