RCMP Kettling - to serve and protect (the 1%)

NO WAY OUT, is the definition of Kettling. G8 and G20 protesters get boxed in then get their heads boxed... and clubbed. This is what democracy looks like in a totalitarian regime. Hockey anyone? We don't need brown shirts, we already have blackshirts! Police really are supposed to serve and protect the citizenry. Now the problem appears on the face of it to be "political" but in reality, people are trying to democratically protest, its their right, and they are being arrested without cause, beaten, gased, tasered, and labeled as radicals. This should sound familiar: its a Hitlerian tactic from the little dictator himself. Image from: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2012/05/13/pol-rcmp-watchdog-report-g8-g20-toronto-2010.html
The question remains, how, in a democratic country, with free speech, and freedom of assembly are we to address the blackshirted, gas throwing, club weilding defenders of the 1%?
