Have I just become a soft liberal or am I right to be concerned at the heavy-handed tactics adopted by the Danish State Police against those protesting peaceably about lack of progress at the climate change conference?
Sure, there are some anarchist disruptors there – no doubt well known to the Danish secret police, but images broadcast across global TV and comments on blog sites from respectable Christian activists suggest Denmark has “lost the plot” and that the police force is engaged in repressive tactics more reminiscent of China or the “old” USSR than a modern EU member state of liberal ideals.
Shame on the Danish police force and government! If you were not prepared for peaceable activist protest why offer to host the event (which you seem to be doing very badly!)
