Yes, here in the UK we hear similar boasts. I actually like to see such protests, I enjoy watching the police getting ripped into them. You tend to find the mouthpieces who stand in front of the cameras making idle boasts and threats aren't as big when a policeman with a baton is standing in front of him on a one to one.

The media should be banned from covering such events and the police should use full force, take no prisoners guys.
