I think the people who are serious about peaceful protest should work out a place with the police and supply a manifest of everyone who is serious about doing it properly. That way you can separate the idiots who just want to smash things. It makes the job easier on the police as they any protesters not in the predetermined area are out for blood and quickly isolate and pick them up.

Lead story on the BBC refers to an event which occurred at last year's G20 in London:

No charges over G20 man's death

A police officer who was filmed pushing a man to the ground during the G20 protests will not face charges over his death...

Ian Tomlinson, 47, died after being caught up in the clashes on 1 April 2009 in the City of London.

Mr Tomlinson, a newspaper seller who was not involved in the protests, was walking home when he was caught up in the demonstration.

The video footage showed him being apparently struck by a baton and then pushed to the ground.

He was seen moving away after the incident but was found collapsed 100 metres away in Cornhill.

Mr Starmer also said that Mr Tomlinson was bitten by a police dog shortly before the clash.

Setting out the details of the decision, Mr Starmer said: "After a thorough and careful review of the evidence, the CPS (the Crown Prosecution Service) has decided that there is no realistic prospect of a conviction against the police officer in question for any offence arising from the matter investigated and that no charges should be brought against him.

Good Post - I planted trees for five summers and I got to spend a great deal of time with people like this Kelly Pflug. They all had big ideas on how to save the world, but none of them involved having year round jobs.
