    we better be quite or else we're gunna be first in line for the 'SPP new american military draft' that will stretch from mexico to canada. With all the profiling going on now, liberals first.
    - this is based off a nightmare i had last night.

    Liberty is not wealth.
    we don't want war, but we still want more?

    Yeah, they raised the draft age from 36 to 42 as well. I guess they're preparing for something potentially very huge.

    total lunatics! ...they should all be beaten, and locked away for their endless crimes towards humanity.

    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Roland, Do you think police should be allowed to do any undercover work? If yes, are there areas that you feel should be out of bounds for them to do this work in?

    i believe they should do anything, aslong as no predetermined mindset exists to obsruct justice and walk in the way of freedom for the citizens of my country. Otherwize, they make themselves and thier jobs enemies to the citizens they get paid to protect.

    undermining the constitution guidelines (what few tattered pieces are left of it) and people rights to free speech for starters.

    How does doing undercover work infringe on someone's right to free speach?

    Did you miss the video? It wasn't exactly passive undercover. The term provocateur ring any bells?

    It doesn't. The allegation is that this was not straight forward undercover work, you know this. If they were just collecting information, this wouldn't be as big a deal (it would still be unnecessary harassment IMO, as the protesters were cordoned off and probably being filmed anyway).

    Even if it is proven that they were trying to incite violence, it doesn't necessarily effect free speech directly. But indirectly, it would build the case for further protest restrictions, and give the public the perception that the people protesting the SPP are extremist radicals.

    It really makes me wonder about the violence at past WTO protests. It is dirty, political policing, and there should be a massive independant investigation into this. It strikes at the very heart of democracy.
