I'm sorry - but this just screams ignorance. It makes perfect sense for the police to be present, especially after a demonstration taking place the day before. Was it overbearing with the numbers that showed up? Sure, but if a police force believes that a protest may take place they WILL show up. Speaking of protests, nice of you to be hypocritical in your own motives. You accuse the police of stereotyping and being prejudice, but yet your own demonstrators showed the same compassion. Officers were present at the demonstration tasked with observation. Officers whom supported your stance and your rights to do so. Same officers whom you guys blatantly harassed, even while you irrevocably seemed oblivious and whole heartedly unconcerned at the fact that laws were being broken by the protesters. Instead of immediately being presumptuous on an officer being present, maybe it would do your cause some good to understand that an officer has a job to uphold, regardless of their views on the matter. Grow the fuck up. Be more civil in your approach in your matters. That woman at 3:30, the sheer audacity of her sarcastic arrogance towards a civil servant, will be the downfall of your cause. "Ohh, so you missed out on cracking skulls!" Honestly, if I was a civil servant, I would have gotten out of the vehicle and taking a fucking riot stick across her face. Why? I don't have time for such immature bullshit as what that woman was showing. Don't break the laws, follow the due process of things, and maybe, just maybe you won't shoot yourselves in the foot when it comes to gaining support. Especially support from within the body that you're fighting against.

The above comment is ridiculous, and it's sad that I've heard so many similar comments. "Honestly, if I was a civil servant, I would have gotten out of the vehicle and taking a fucking riot stick across her face." Scary. Clearly the writer of this is in favor of the worst kind of government excesses. People like this are completely in support whenever totalitarian states appear, all over the world - and that's what allows totalitarian governments to exist. Governments will always tend in this direction unless they are continuously, ceaselessly, relentlessly challenged by people like the people in this video. As Supreme Court Justice Learned Hand said, "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it…"
