I bow to your superior knowledge.
Not sure though that is in any way relevant.
My point was and is still that it's inexcusable to attack police officers, vehicles or stations at all.
And do you have any evidence that the police attacked peaceful demonstrators?
Even the independent can't find evidence of police throwing fireworks or bricks at crowds.
But it's ok for "protesters "
No, it's not. It's moved on.
I have no problem with PEACEFUL demonstrations but recently it seems ok to be violent.
Do you really think it's to attack police officers?
(Ridiculous!)
If the police decide is quite key though. You don't know what they will allow at this time.
But it seems to be acceptable to set fire to police vans and throw bricks at them.
