While I am fully supportive of the protesters' ultimate goals in general, I have disagreement with their tactics; I also notice that there are people who see things only from one perspective: e.g. fully support the police (and never suggest the police may have done something wrong sometimes..) and anything against the law must be wrong (based on what they say; they never say things from another perspective). There are people who are multi-perspective and there are people who choose to see and complain things only from one perspective.  I much prefer and recommend the multi-perspective stance in problem-solving and investigation personally, and there is a also strong theoretical basis for pluralism and creative holism.
