Powerful Protest
Not sure if what he did was a clever act of self promotion or a spontaneous action.
I consider this kind of protest more powerful than any kind of violence.
The video above reminded me of the so-called Tank Man.
When I posted the video made on June 5th, 1989 I prefered to call him Peaceman.
Going back to watch the embedded video again I had to learn that thanks to a certain nonprofit organisation, a so-called WGBH Educational Foundation it is not to be seen anymore.
Obviously making money is more worthwhile than educating.

| See the joy in this brave civil policeman's face? |

| And here another police hero defending democracy against a "Terror-Lady in Red" |
Okay, that's Turkey. Of course, such things could not happen in the most wonderful of all democracies in this universe and those yet to discover, could they?

| Oops. Isn't that Lt John Pike defending the USA against a whole bunch of terrorists? |
I get the feeling as if only recently there was a man saying: "When I see a policeman with a club beating a man on the ground, I don't have to ask whose side I'm on."
Now, Lt. Pike and his brave Turkish comrades – they all definitely being beacons of intelligence – will teach this George Orwell, once they have caught him, I bet.
