Being a cop/riot police agent in a country like that must be the suckiest thing ever. They are in the same shit as everyone else, probably agree with them for the most part, but risk losing their job (and everything that entails) if they do not act against the people they agree with. I wish they would just en masse join the protesters, now that would send a strong signal (wouldn't actually change much though, sadly).


Ohhhhh yes it would-once people begin to wake up after being fucked for centuries, they tend start renaissancing around making sure the bullshit happens differently next time!

Lets suppose for a second that what you suggest is true, Choggie. Who would you suggest to be the least suckiest out of the three numerically feasible contenders? I think even by your logic you may have to agree Obama is the best candidate.
