Democracy & attack dogs don't mix.
I wonder if anyone has noticed that everywhere you look these days armed individuals are showing up whenever peaceful citizens gather to protest basic rights in their society.
No free society can tolerate the threat of violence to quell free speech rights. But if you go out to speak about wage inequality, the local government has riot police in helmets and horses and cameras and dogs to greet you. The message is to try and instill fear in the protesters.
Shouldn't the government be afraid of us?
