Thanks of this. I appreciate your support of the idea of protest. One of the people I work with reported on the actions of the police on the weekend. Have you been to the occupation and watched what the police and various other forces have been doing? It is clear by your thoughts that you know what is right and wrong.

I don't really see how your observations pertain to my comments.

You mentioned the protests. Was curious if you knew personally what was happening. If you knew how the police were conducting themselves.

I have only been by one incident when police were actively engaged in policing and they have - in comparison with N.Am. standards - been very restrained. But if one blocks a road and one yells oink oink don't expect the police to invite you to a sunday tea.

Just a clarification - this story "facing global conflict" is not talking about the campus protests, but about a motion at UBC Senate. To assume that this speaks to any of the protests takes license with my words beyond their intention and meaning.
