WHEN THE POLICE JOIN THE DEMONSTRATIONS!!!!


         As the Greek political class go about enforcing more drastic "austerity cuts" at the dictate of the IMF, (International Mankind Fuckers) and the financial Mafia they have made it clear that the police will not be exempt from the wage cuts and slashing of bonuses and pensions. This has of course rattled the obedient servants of the state who have been mounting demonstrations of their own. How does a government force people to accept drastic cuts to their living standards when the police start to say that demonstrations and labour disputes do not come under our public duty? Greece is fast approaching that situation. Governments govern by consent or govern by force, if that consent is withdrawn and that force is no longer available, what then? A European Spring?
      Police officers were the first to react with demonstrations in Athens after the government said that their wages and bonuses would not be exempt from the budget measures being demanded by creditors in return for another cash injection. The Greek language blogosphere was alive with angry responses from police related blogs angry that pre-election promises had not been kept and promising a series of protests over the decision.
       The $64,000 question is how such cuts, if they are passed will be enforced without the support of the police. With resentment against yet more austerity rising after a summer lull, police officers are being used ever more frequently to end protests and labour disputes. If they decide that this is not their public function, as one police leader intimated last night during an interview on MEGA TV then what other means of persuasion does the government have? Even the feared quasi - military MAT riot units cannot be everywhere.
