Let us not forget for one moment that both the Government and the police have been involved in high-profile cases of ‘criminality and greed’ with the expenses scandal as well as bribery and corruption.
Neither have any right to criticise anyone of the same crimes!
Other high-profile cases of police brutality, and even murder, have led to a common belief that they planned the killing of a well-known member of the ‘underclass’ in order to cause riots. The police then stood by, knowing that the Government would cave in to their demands as usual.
The proof is in the question: why do police outnumber protesters by 10 to one in any other street gathering, except in the recent rioting?
