Mattheman makes most people feel clever every single day.

That's what I thought. It was pretty pointless.

No, it just made me feel smug.

"No quarter for idiots." That's my motto.

Looked, and sounded, to me that they'd lost their alarm blipper and were headed back to the station to get the spare.

Footage of the police briefing has been leaked to BTV.

I am shocked to say the least.

Click.

Oh noes, the police are using safer / non lethal means to disperse crowds and perform their duty!

RSS gives us all the most awes.. oh wait it's mantheman.

Most people in this country are stupid but think/feel they are clever. Its typical of this country to put the clever people down. Hence iam stupid yet manage to live in one of the most affluent areas in london. :eek:

Just because you live in a certain area, don't mean you're clever.
Not everyone living in Cambridge understands the Newtonian concept of mavity, much like not everyone in your 'affluent area' understand the concept of bread maths.

A sonic cannon is no different to a water cannon. Not sure what the problem is.

why is there a need to disperse a peaceful protest ????/

Because given how previous "peaceful" G20 protests have started, it was probably a good idea to prevent trouble.

*Moangroan* · 26 Sep 2009 at 21:16

No you dont use it when its peaceful on the basis it ''MAY'' get non-peacefull later on....thats stupid.

How many G20 protests have been peaceful? Any? Nope.

Taking the heat out of the fire using a completely non violent dispersal method like water / sonic cannons is perfectly sensible. Especially when dealing with the great unwashed as in most G20 protests

*Moangroan* · 26 Sep 2009 at 21:21

It may be at the G20 now. But If you ever have anything to protest about anything in the future and you are with your child/girlfriend or mother and they water canon you and your family would you still have the same opinion if you were peacefully protesting ???

these weren't sonic cannons, it was a loud siren :/

This is like accusing a ambulance of being a mobile weapons platform.
