Spaniards protest, police brutality. (Graphic)

I believe that peaceful protests are in order to maintain harmony and peace. However, in a real, national revolution, even the police stand up to the government that pays them.

True, but in a society where people completely demonize and attack the person simply talking about the subject it does not happen. It as if all the strength and independance has gone out of human beings, there is no, you say what? Ok I don't believe it but I'm going to look into it anyways and find out myself. Instead you get, "I'm going to insult you, because what you say confuses and infuriates me and I do not wish to look into it at all."

My small victories are in the conversations we have, although you may hate me, insult me, insanely attempt to tell me what I am. As long as you are thinking about it, I'm fine with it. I only ask you be vigilant about the gov. power as George Washington himself told us to be. (and that's to everyone on AF)

I am, friend. I am vigilant about the current government. As a matter of fact, I place no real trust in governments at all. I place my trust in my nation and my country. Governments come and go. One day you take up a gun, knife or rake, one day, you take up a sign that shows your displeasure. I certainly see very small success in clashing with the police. I see the police no different as I see myself. He is a member of the same nation as I am.
