Violent thugs? I am a 21 year old literature student and I am a protester .

I
danced to music on parliament square as people spray painted NO on the
grass, I shouted 'tory **** tory ****' with pride, I got pushed to the police
front line and charged by horses on two occasions (please see footage of
charges on 24th and 9th http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/nov/26/police-
student-protests-horses-charge, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11962905)I
am not ashamed.
If you want to look at thugs then look to the police.
 
I am a girl of 5 foot 2, I was pushed several times in the face, dragged on the
floor and laughed at by police when I told them I had asthma. This is why
people get angry, because people were being trapped and wanted to get
out. All afternoon we were told people were able to leave from various places
but this was just not true.
I asked a policeman were I could go to the toilet, he pointed at the floor by
his feet. Another shouted 'move bitch or i'll squash you with my horse'.
 
Eventually, when the protests had died down and people were desperate to
go home, a group of around 1000 protesters were finally escorted to
westminster bridge to exit, however this was a trick. What then happened
was we were held on the bridge for hours in the freezing cold. The crowd
remained calm, but after hours of freezing people began to chant 'let us out'
and then the crowd pushed forwards. Being small I was carried by the crowd
and ended up by the police line. I was tired and cold and hadn't eaten for 12
hours of had any water.  I screamed at the police not to hurt me
because i was being pushed but they still went for my face almost
pulling me to the floor. A man to my right put his arms over my face
screaming ' Leave her alone, she's a girl, she's not harming you' but
the police began to hit him several times on the head.
When we were finally let off the bridge it was one at a time through huge
crowds of jeering officers. We were told we were being photographed incase
we had damaged royal car. But how this could have happened whilst we were
kettled in parliament i don't know.  What I will say is that by this stage the
anarchists had fought their way out, and just lots of women and children
were left to freeze.
