However, unfortunately I don't think it'll be too long before someone, somewhere, ramps this up a level and a policeman or policewoman is very seriously injured or killed.
If / when that happens I hope he's at ease with his apparent misplaced admiration for the more militant / violent protest(s)ers that would be only too happy to visit upon the constabulary the sort of violence (and worse) he appears to miss / recall with great fondness from the 80's.
We live in an age where there are more illegally armed individuals roaming the streets than ever before. Sometimes one has to be careful for what one wishes for.

And yet the most iconic photo of the rioting students in the 60s involved a boot to the head of one hapless policeman...
It's the rage that is the dangerous element in all this.It's been a long time since students have protested in such numbers.They have been pretty apathetic on the whole for the last 20 years and now they are stirred up and some elements, as they always do, will push matters to stupid lengths.
Let's hope that no one gets seriously injured or even killed because of stupidity.
