Define "police state".

Also, "all" Western countries? At the same time?

I'm asking for a definition so we don't have to argue over what it means to have a "police state".

ok, here is a simple premise...

Peaceful protest, should it be met with what is called "Robust" policing. Read the link story about one of the War Vet boys "peacefully" protesting. When did we loose the right to be heard, it's in the Constitution... it's our right.... why is it being met with State force? That is not Democracy!!!

Sorry, I find it a bit hard to sympathize with 9/11-whackjobs. It does sound like they were being very harshly treated, indeed.

You don't need to sympathize or agree with to see the need for them to not be abused by a police state. There is a tendency to defend movements that we at least partially understand and approve of, and to dismiss others as whack-jobs.

I didn't say people I disagree with should be "abused by a police state". People called the police because they were being harrassed by 9/11 whackjobs. The police responded by asking them to go away. I don't see any "police state" here.

Yes, you took the bait and went for the easier story for yourself to cope with.

Maybe you could answer the War Vet story now please.

Even if people are whack jobs, it matters not and should have a right to be heard and protest peacefully.

You are in Finland, right?



Is this normal policing from there and why is it that they have such high (independantly) reported violations of human rights?

Here's a thought. What kind of people join the police force?

So would you or would you not then expect abuses to arise from time to time, in any police force, in any country around the world? Would that make every country in the world a "police state"?

I have no idea what "normal policing" here is like - I don't get into trouble with the police. The YouTube video doesn't cite any figures.
