This entire business has sickened me. Unfortunately it comes as no surprise, especially considering the location. So, are we now obliged to look at these uniformed thugs with adoring eyes just to avoid attack? I wish the cops could've been given a drug test. Some of these guys are absolute fascist thugs. And I say that coming from a family with a strong military and law enforcement background, as so many of the Irish do. Bad cops give the good ones so much negative press, and the bad ones cause a lot of the civil unrest in this country. Why didn't they just tell the kids to cool their jets and let it go at that? Makes me sick to my stomach.
