Czuch: The thing though that has come to light is that if the police had been more professional about the protests (as the whole police activity during the G20 protests is being looked into) .. there would have been less arrests. I'm not saying there would have been no arrests, but some of the troubles seem to be (according to the reports and the gist of what the IPCC are saying) would have been avoided, hence less arrests.

And Czuch... guns are a rarity in this country, this is not the USA.

And that you approve of police brutality rather goes against your call for less government.. looks like you are a closet more government person. And by the looks of it, you like the idea of dictatorships aka BIG BROTHER.

But one thing you don't consider, is the need for the police to be respected by Joe Public.. without Joe Public's support a lot of crimes in the UK would never be solved. And the death of Mr Tomlinson as well as all the other reported crimes by the police during the protests have eroded the trust that is essential for the police to work efficiently.
