policing force, watching people chant and march
against the G8, they leave their home unprotected from real terrorists.

Police trash guy's bikelock and act like dicks

2:40 7.5MB Quicktime video.

Note the particularly dick-headed look on this cop's face throughout the incident.

March Goes West I spent the day on the streets of Edinburgh, where I witnessed democracy and the right to peaceful protest in its full glory.
