This news broadcast is frightening. It proves one thing well: democracy is becoming little more than a byword toted by the biggest guns in our world as a method to deliver agendas. As the protest was legal and concerning a serious issue that Britain no less face than anywhere else, I am shocked. There is no case for an armed government unit to brute their way into the assembly of anyone who legally assembles. Even when defined as illegal, it often makes no sense.
