Protests in Sydney today

ah, brings me back to the 1980'sin London and the Poll tax riots, well not really.

Pathethic stuff, Bunch of Greenie students who are protesting against Halliburton, [INSERT whatever here] are absolutely railroaded by mounted police, what an absolute joke, I think it says alot about your poli's when you have 30-40 protesters being coralled by 16/20 mounted and about 30-40 foot and associated police.

I understand the police have a job to do, but their application and deployment in this case stinks to high heaven.

Don't blow smoke here, it was disgracefully heavy handed and totally inflamed the situation.

It will be a shock if we ever get professional demonstrators who are organised here in Sydney, then the Police and the Government will be out of their depth, and thats a fact.

If they make a complete mess of such a small crowd, then how would they cope with 10 times the number.

pathethic stuff, I await with delight how Faux and Murdoch are going to spin it tonight.
