A new police service?

Anyone see the BBC news last night? It showed hundreds of school children from the schoolchildren against war group protesting outside the US Embassy in Belfast. It showed them climbing over and tearing down the barriers, boys and girls to get at the US Building. You could see the real anger in their eyes against the war. Then you seen dozens of huge riot police going at them with their batons drawn. These schoolchildren made their voices heard and I hope the trade union people who are rallying today with the schoolchildren take a lesson from them and make sure their voices are heard also.
