The problem with America, is that the people here have forgotten that the shit heads in DC work for us. Instead people have been conditioned to thinking there is nothing they can do. Occupy Wall-street was the closest this country has been to real protests in a very long time and overall it was non violent. Yet the US cops beat and arrested the people whom were protesting just for non violent civil disobedience.
Honestly I like my country, but real anti govt protests are long over due, more specifically anti police state/spying. It was a bit disappointing to see the govt crush OWS so easily. I was hoping it would spiral a bit out of control and be able to force the change that needs to happen. Simply put the citizens should not fear their govt, the govt should fear the people. That's the difference between the US and EU countries. In the EU the govt's are scared of the people, but that's not the case in the US..
It was quite ironic to see the US embassy speak out about the govt. cracking down on the protestors in Ukraine, when here in the US peaceful protesters were sprayed in the face with pepper spray then arrested.
