I don't give a shit with whatever excuse they come up. When everyone else is wearing HAZMAT suits, that last person should be wearing one too, no exceptions.
Those public health people in the US are such useless idiots. Unless I miss something, all soldiers are usually tasked to wear their NBC suits regardless of anything should they enter a contaminated zone, no? From what I can recall, those NBC suits are as difficult to handle as HAZMAT suits can be. Basically, it's all or nothing... bunch of fools. |

Got official word that an American photojournalist was arrested by HKPF PTU officers. Paula Bronstein has some mild PTSD over being arrested.

She was arrested while covering the latest Mong Kok protests, which gets pretty ugly and crazy at night for these past two days- though it's quite calm in daylight. Wall Street Journal says she got arrested for getting on a car to avoid being pepper-sprayed. Though it's good that she has experience in Afghanistan so here it should be like a cake walk for her comparatively. |

That would be likely - I think the police force (the people on the ground at least) is kind of in a position where they don't really know what to do except to control the crowd and hitting people with their batons, so it's likely that they made a mistake here again. I heard from the internet that the police hit a voluntary medical worker with a baton - while the worker was tending to an injured police officer! The police seems to have no coherent strategy or way to deal with protesters (they are still in the awkward position where they fear if they are considered to be using excessive force again, protester numbers are going to swell again and it'll be deja vu.), so I guess it's pretty confusing and frustrating for the police officers who are at the protest zones.

It started to get down to Minority Report route if people are punished for the potential of their crime. Not what they committed

Laws are meant to punish criminal ACTS. However, it is religion that started demanding people not to THINK in particular ways. Mixing the two leads to laws that punish thoughts, leading to enslavement of the human brain. See North Korea, for an example of a current government that polices thoughts.
