how can that be funny?

Cops need to know, generally in the west, to facilitate peaceful protest and to minimise disruption to the rest of society.

So a big fuck off to the froggie entitled students.

Nothing funny about that. It just shows the students want to live in a society wiht no laws where they can et what they want through violence and intimidation.

The students’ sense of entitlement to go where they like on public roads is simply staggering!

The hypocrisy of the left, eh? 😆

Well, they are *marching* on the roads rather than driving on them as god intended.

Yawn!
The ‘Fuck Da Police’ attitude- how very original.
Reminds me of that Tiki Taane idiot repeatedly trying to sell himself as New Zealand’s own ruthless ‘Gangsta Rapper’.. all the while selling out by doing super cheesey TV ads that your grandma loves while watching Coro Street…
What a Twat.

Interesting… suddenly “the public” is defined as a subset of the population which excludes those who wish to protest. I’ve read estimates of 150,000 protesters and some even higher. In any case a very large number of people who suddenly find themselves not part of “the public” according to kowtow.

Once you take part in an organised protest,be it lawful or unlawful, in a public place you are no longer a member of the public ,you are a protester.

Ha ha ha. Quite funny. Now, if I were the cops, my response would be advise them to keep to the planned route, or expect arrests

I laughed. Good to see students with a sense of humour. Protesting students often become far too intense.

I laughed also. Students are perfectly entitled to protest.

Students are perfectly entitled to protest.

Sadly, increasingly, the reponse to that statement is “No, they are not.”

I contrast coverage of today’s protests in Auckland, and the eagerness of the police to provoke confrontations, with my experiences in 1971/2. We used to do Friday night sitdowns at the Queen St/Wellesley St intersection three or four times a year, and attracted little police attention – their efforts were mainly directed towards rerouting traffic.

And in Canada, in response to the student protests against massive fees increases (not as massive as in Britain, just before the riots) the right wing government responded with enacting draconian restrictions on protest activity, so restrictive that lawyers took to the streets to protest the new laws.

I hope the police take a leaf out of the Wisconsin police’s tactics during their recent protests and join the protestors!

I was a post grad in Montreal for a year. No student will walk that far. Too many bars.
