In a scenario similar to the police in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, the Greek police have now decided to protest. So who arrests the non-police protestors?
"The very people who have been charged with protecting the Greek parliament and politicians from furious crowds and who have even been criticised by Amnesty International for their heavy-handedness, the Greek police, have themselves now begun to protest EU-IMF austerity. On Monday, police from the Special Guards unit climbed Mount Lycabettus, the highest point in Athens, to hang a giant black banner underneath the hill’s famous Chapel of St. George saying 'Pay day, day of mourning'. Some 50 striking police officers protected the banner from police who remained in service and who had been sent to tear the banner down."
