If you are going to protest about something.

You should know about this below which is totally wrong.
Not sure why we have a police commissioner, he's backing it.
We need someone to protect us from the police commissioner.

postscript: Perhaps I should qualify further. If you protest or are a pain in the butt about something it may involve a community council, a county council, a police force, a political party whatever.

Discrediting individuals who make a stand or whistle blowers is  the way to go.

I know one person who lives in this village who got stopped 4 times in two weeks for breathyliser checks. His crime? Appearing before an enquiry criticising N Wales Police.

Mobile phones and computers are the perfect gift for those in power that abuse power.
