A conspiracy or the harsh truth ?

Found it interesting; America's riot police seem to use unnecessory force, and South Africa's riot police seem to just stand and watch as people bash through shop windows and peoples cars..wonder which one is better..

Well, if you are a rioter then I guess you would want to be able to go on your rampage of destruction and lawlessness unchecked. If you are a shop owner or owner of one of those cars then you would probably want to see the Police beat the living crap out of the rioters and then have them hung from the nearest lampost. I don't see that our Police are all that bad-you should see what they do to rioters in other places such as immigrant loving Mexico.

Yeah, I agree it isn't too bad.. Just the pepper-spray on the people who were just giving their opinion,that can't really be a riot (can it?).. Just comparing to about 2 weeks ago, here, when striking works went through the town with poles bashing random cars and smashing random shop windows and stealing,now that is a time to use force,but the police just stood around and watched them for 2 hours before intersecting.. They even attacked two reporters so that they were hospitalised. Just cause they want an 11% wage increase.

I think if people would just treat others as they would like to be treated, the world would be much better. People need to stop and think before they take action on anything.

A lot of people don't use their brains much anymore, what a waste. They don't think of the consequences of what they are doing or what they want to do.
