Yuri commented:

". ..in Russia one is forbidden from any protest, mr putin will lock him up straight away"

Really?

So why weren't all those people immediately arrested who assembled last December and February and this month at Bolotnaya Square, Sakharov St., Pushkin Sqare and at Poklonnaya Hill, Moscow.

One is free to protest in Russia. What one is not free to do is to protest wherever one pleases.

The same holds true for most countries.

Thank you RT for reporting things that the controlled and evil Amerikan press will not report.  Agent provacateuring is very common with cops these days and the stupid Amerikan public does not see it.  Our police are criminal to the core:  http://www.duiblog.c om/2011/11/20/dui-ta sk-force-cop-admits- falsifying-breath-te st-readings/
It's ironic - to me at least - that the Russian press is more trust worthy than the Amerikan press.

This is nothing new and should in fact be expected. The police have undercover agents in the crowds sometimes even throwing things at the uniformed police to "get the ball rolling" so that others will follow suit and throw things too, then they arrest them.

Again, this should be expected and is not new.

“Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.”

Identify and neutralize them.... Get them on tape... get people to realize the authorities are the ones starting conflicts... the same way they use false flag attacks or suspicions of possession of WMD's to start a war... the only they can get police to act violent is to provoke the violence themselves... this is not going to work anymore... we got our eyes on you!

There are monsters working for the police in this country, believe me. I have been abused by them as have a number of friends. My ex was sexually assaulted, and her clothes torn off in front of thousands of people when we were arrested leaving the summer solstice celebration at Stonehenge 2009. The official reason they gave for the arrest "looking straight through the police rather than at them". She was too scared to complain officially, no video appeared on youtube even though it was filmed on mobile phones by onlookers. I was falsely given a CR for possesion of cocaine, no joke. I am going through the police complaints process now (still need to send the form off!) There is social inbreeding within institutions, such as the police and the jobcentre plus. I think a lot of these policemen were not loved as children and as a result have no understanding/empath y and become abusive themselves. This is not new but people are fighting back more atm, OCCUPY for instance.

You see alot of this at nationalist demonstrations too.  Especially throughout Eastern Europe.

Absolutly fantastic ! Having destroyed the economy with the stupidity of wars they now destroying the social fibres of this desolate island ! Arrests, sentencing anybodies opposing total submission,spying by every conceivable means, false accusing anyone remotely connected with one middle country or other, and glorifying obedience to the crown ! It's almost incredible that such a level of imbecillity could exist in our age ! Poor, poor people.

Interesting how 'NoShockDoc' is willing to talk to RT behind a fake name, but I assume has not made a formal complaint to the Met Police

It would be good if these sorts of situations which can be verified were to be published by any media which can bring them to wider public awareness.

Well, there was never freedom and democracy in the west, when people starts to challenge the government that's when their true nature comes out...who the hell are they to lecture the rest of the world about democracy, freedom when they can sustain their own democracy...I'm certain China must be laughing....

This doesn't surprise me at all. I would actually be more surprised if this wasn't happening given the history and track record of governments using this tactic in the past to stage fake coups, cause civil unrest to have the non-conforming leaders to be overthrown.  People are starting to see the true nature of the depths institutions and governments will go to gain compliance from the masses.
