As noted at Excited-Delirium, protesters at the G20 summit in London will face police armed with tasers.
While I've never understood how large puppet parades and haphazard street performances help further the progressive causes of reducing poverty, restoring civil liberties, and stopping corporations from influencing government, people should have the right to engage in whatever lawful political expression they see fit. That means not having to experience being shot with a taser for pissing of a cop (Nothing pisses off a cop like people exercising their rights to assemble and express opinion.).
