I don’t know how one cop can ensure a peaceful protest. I can see, however, how one cop might warn a person against danger.

Nothing wrong with that. But the cop threatened to arrest the Jewish guy if he didn’t leave the area. Warning is one thing. Threatening to arrest is quite another.

This whole mess is just another example of the West accommodating Islam. The sight of a Jewish guy might upset the Muslim protesters. So the Jewish guy has leave.

PJ is correct (post #24). The police are supposed to protect everyone’s rights. Here the cop tried to take the easy way out instead.

One cop goes back to the other cops and says to be vigilant. I hope they are deployed as a team and not individual standers-by.

Honestly, it reminds me of when I go to a sporting event (or watch on on TV) and see the security guards watching the field instead of watching the stands. Cops at a protest should be watching the protesters before watching the passers-by on the sidewalks.

The question is which group is more likely to act first, the Hamas sympathizers or the street-goers walking by?
