Not sure about you, but I'll take workers reminding everyone who is in charge and how democracy works over cops constantly shooting the innocent - people, dogs, whatever, and generally carrying on like thugs.

For a people that keep reminding the oligarchy who is charge they sure seem to have the same wealth gap as all the other liberal nations
