“public order training” eh? Classic Newspeak. George Orwell would be turning in his grave.

BTW for those who are confused, a “riot” is where people go apeshit, randomly smash stuff (not targeted direct action but just random), and violently attack anyone who happens to be around. “Civil disobedience” is the tactic advocated by Ghandi, where a crowd of people attempt to prevent injustice taking place, even if this includes nonviolently breaking the law.

On February 4th New Zealand Police trained in all things riotous will descend upon us at Sky City. We will be aware of the provocateurs placed in our non aggressive protest by police, and eject them. We will OCCUPY Sky City. Bring a pillow.

In reply to Ben. Mr Common sense.. trotters analysis is 100 per cent correct, in any society it is the few awakened sages that lead the rest of society who live in the land of the nod, induced sleep inflicted by the establishment msm, it is always the sages who lead these folk into change and or awakening.. the best way to discredit the sages is to have disorder brought about by agent provocateurs laced in with the sages, John Lennon once said 'the establishment prefer a riot as they know how to deal with violence they have been using it for thousands of years, the only thing they don't know about is non violence and humour',,

In reply to Heather Tanguay.

If the TPPA is so good for NZ why was it done in secret and why has it not been debated in Parliament.

In reply to WILD KATIPO. The location is both symbolic and a provocation in itself. Instead of Parliament Buildings where something like this should be signed, it's being done in the city of business at a casino (what better emblem of blood sucking capitalism than that).

If there is riot, I won’t be at all surprised it will come from the political end, through indirect connection of government placing troublemakers amongst the protesters. Look at what happened when the French police infiltrated the demonstrators with civvy dressed members of their police at the Paris talks.

In reply to Jollo. Absolutely. A sit in isn't a riot.
