^^ i have read some of the claims by journalists of mis-handling by the police. I am always interested to see if they are a "free-lance" journalist, who quite often have an agenda and are looking to spark a response.

The story of the Guardian journalist is troubling, but I stand by my opinion that police have a difficult time responding to to these out of control demonstrations- making a decision at a moments notice on who is part of the violent crowd and who isn't would be difficult...

I may be wrong, but riot police typically treat out of control demonstrators as a collective group, and do not even attempt to distinguish who is being violent and who isnt.
