Uhm... Not sure if... They are for PROTECTION. They PROTECT the people. If the police would do nothing, no protection would be needed.

And I'm not saying that the protestors are totally non-violent. No, they respond to violence with violence, and there's violence on both sides. The less violence, the better. But if the police starts to shoot, I'm all for throwing molotovs back.

That's all I have to say on this matter.

I support Euromaidan.

Police is not profitable to show aggression. They only protected. For this, and scolded Yanukovych that he rag.

And who will be instead of him? Is Ukraine has a real political leader today who can cure the situation? The answer is NO!!!
Yes, Yanukovich is really bad. But he is the only one who can stop this anarchy and lawlessness.

Protesters first used Molotov cocktails, and firearms. It is foolish to deny.

You've shown video "Action protesters February 18". Is it a trick ?
Stones and fire bottles are not weapon.
