Name: Gail Owens on Nov 14, 2008Comments: Democracy depends on people speaking out and being allowed to speak, in print and in public. For eons this is the only thing that has brought necessary change to humankind. That is the only way social progress and equality have been constructed, in the U.S. and in other countries. The most dangerous group of people, in dictatorships or democracies, have been police, whose ignorance of history produces abusers--men, mostly, who have a macho mindset and take pleasure in expressing "might makes right." Civilian protesters are not proto-criminals. They are people whose public actions in a group are necessary to make clear what majorities want. They are acting on behalf of change when change is being squelched. Rights of citizens to mass protests should be a concept that needs to be fully understood by governments on every level in the U.S. Police who take pleasure, as they most certainly do, in "accidently" hurting, hounding and threatening civilians should be taken off the force. They need to take a more stand-back stance instead of deliberately creating flash points that inevitably have ugly outcomes, for police and protesters alike.Flag
