Police use CS spray on tax protesters

Some protesters on Oxford Street in central London needed hospital treatment after the police used CS spray. The demonstrators told that the police had been very heavy handed and disproportionate. Protesters said they have the right to protest when the government are making unnecessary cuts that will hit the poorest in the society the hardest. The staff of Boots were shocked when they saw the police in action against the protesters. When one of the protester was hit by the CS spray, his eyes were streaming and his face hurts really bad. Staff of Boots gave him a free eye wash treatment. The protester have been on a lot of demonstrations but have not seen anything like this before. A spokesman for the Metropolitan police confirmed CS spray had been used. He also said that he was unaware of the needed hospital treatment. The protesters claimed Boots was avoiding huge sums of money by being registered in Switzerland, where taxes are far lower. A Boots spokeswoman said it had registered in Switzerland because "in the longer term we believe it will better reflect the increasingly international nature of our wider group."


My reaction:
People should have the right to demonstrate without any interference of the police, but this time the police was too hard on people and even used a CS spray on the demonstrators. I think that if a demonstration is peaceful than there should be no police interference, maybe the police took over the bad influence from Egypt and the UK is next, we surely do not want that to happen, next thing we know is that this influence is taking over Europe and other parts of the world.
