free speech?

repetitive chanting is acceptable... speaking at length about issues is not.

understandable, I can't really speak for the brits because I am not acquainted with their laws.

here in America, in a 'friendly' protest all it takes is for 'someone' to make a formal complaint on the protester else if you are not bugging anybody then everybody is happy. there will always be a nut job who screws it up for everyone else.

a Police officer has the same rights as a citizen but has more authority than a citizen according to the higher judicial system. a Police officer has the same right to form his/her own complaint just as any other citizen.

if you scream into a police officers ear he/she can arrest you for disturbing his/her peace if it continues.

good video though, are you a Brit?

would you say a megaphone improperly used is sort of screaming in peoples ears, namely the police's ears? sort of disturbing the peace of the police you might say.

see, most people don't see police as citizens because they are on the job but a police officer has the same laws as a citizen but with greater authority. namely they can shoot you if threaten with bodily harm. having a mentally ill person in the police force is another story. this varies from state to state.

it may be different in different areas, I say this because I live in a small town and everyone likes our Police services namely because we in my little town knows every bodies character. I know everybody here and get along with them on a daily basis including our fine officers.

the big cities or towns might not be the same because officers start to become numb about the people they meet.

in my little town, if we don't like you then you would be railroaded out of town and that includes police officers, Lawyers, Judges.

life is life, you just choose the wrong town to live in.

I am friends with everybody here in this town. we have no real crime rate so to speak, sometimes our local news paper has to make things up in order to make life worth reading!

my little town looks after its own, if you need assistance our little town supplies food, money and support outside the welfare system until you can adjust yourself, we are a community that cares for one another and nobody here goes without so long as you are a part of the community.

my little town has a population of 325, maybe you need a change of living. big cities are bad MOJO. in my little town there have only been 4 known murders in +100 years.
