Well, the police are handling it rather properly, I have to say.

Even though the protesters are in the EXTREME minority, the media always pays them the most attention. If the police were more heavy handed, you best believe it would be twisted and turned in the media.

On loop. 24 hours a day.

The protesters are making themselves look like fools. First they piss off the Chinese community, then they piss off the veterans, now they are acting like hooligans.

Any support they hoped to gain from Joe Public has gone out the window through their tactics.

When the stories are the protesters pepper spraying, or putting vinegar in the eyes of the police, and NOT the other way around, that is positive for the normal person.
