Don't warry about the Police and the military. They are entirely supportive for this protest. Everyone who is able must come and protest against this facist regime.

Arrest The protestors. Water cannons don't work but pepper spray very effective to disperse unruly illegal protestors.

If anyone disturb the peaceful atmosphere, the police should take tough actions. The government should take the bulls by their horns.
