G20 demonstrations

The Police just needed to justify spending X million pounds of the tax payers money that day so they insighted some violent scenes thinking people will see it and think ohhhh I am sooo glad I pay my taxes look at all those brave police.

I don't agree with this, I think its human nature to want to be in control. And the police are a perfect case in point. Combine that fact with the power complex and the occasional thought of being above the law and you've got the police's response pegged.

Think of the famous Stanford psych exp with students and electric shocks.
