First, I would consider my safety and what they could do to me! No sense sticking your neck out too far, for people that absolutely would not do the same! We see too much of this anymore!

problem here is how much 150% trust the system has in itself and in its agents, NY shooting of Sean Bell, rings a bell?
Quote from BBC news
"New York's mayor said he is "deeply disturbed" by the shooting of an unarmed black man by police but said he would support the city's police chief."
and they were just acquitted of all charges, when an innocent/unarmed man was killed in his wedding night by paranoid police!
evidence was compelling enough for me to say F them popos, but what did the system do? well u see what they did!Whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship, the people can always B brought 2 the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All U have 2 do is tell them they R being attacked & denounce the pacifists 4 lack of patriotism & exposing the country 2 danger. It works the same way in any country.

Jingoism is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as \"extreme patriotism in the form of aggressive foreign policy\".
