The Crying Policeman

[badkuk]

Mga lumang style na yan: protesters provoke the police, then cry like babies when the police hit back.

Tao lang naman yung pulis. If anyone rushed you, threw rocks, etc., you would either a.) run away, or b.) stand your ground. The protesters took their chances, so they should deal with the consequences -- not whine like a babies.

Don't start none, won't be none. Violence begets violence. Maybe that was the plan all along.


Hindi naman po ako pulis or anything, but i get the impression our cops aren't that well-trained in riot control. Parang walang porma yung dispersal nila: me nanghahampas ng shield, some break the line to hit back, etc. Di ba dapat me coordination, ala Roman legion? And if they couldn't afford the equipment, at least man lang yung nasa harap bigyan ng body armor. Heck, even an ordinary jacket would have helped.


Another lumang style: people who talk tough and brainwash young idiots(who may or may not be Filipino citizens for that matter) and push them into the frontlines, while they sit back and talk some more about how they're the victims of the mess they started.

Wasn't there a 17-year old protester arrested? How is this different from training child soldiers to fight wars?


At least now we know the protesters are human. i guess brainwashing can only go so far.
