#2They probably pose in front of mirrors anyway. I know I would if I had such awesome gear.

#3Agreed with the points about making the officers consider their actions, but also: it's also very hard to strike at one's own image.

#4That is a beautiful idea and sentiment. Well done Ukranian protesters.

#5I like the idea, there's a lot of thought provocation in it. Having said that, I don't like how the article belittles the riot police force. Aren't the older generation (grandma) at least partly responsible for the state in which their kids (riot police) are in? It's not like these 'thugs' were created in a vacuum and that these 'grandma's' are helpless. They were young, and they made decisions...more likely to have more effect on what the current state is than the men in uniform ironically.

A moment's thought, had you paused to engage in same, would've led you to realize that Ukrainian grandmothers today were, in youth, governed by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, whose regime was never particularly noted for the extent of the freedom of conscience and action it extended to its subjects.

#9> You can imagine what was going through their minds as they saw themselves in their ridiculous garb and dehumanized condition.

Somewhat related, I'm curious about the veracity of a "news item" for which the second Google result is a blog [1] whose header includes a lengthy quote from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and which appears largely to have been promulgated by a charming [2] fellow who goes by the handle "Red Pill Philosophy", and seems mostly to concern himself with blaming society for his romantic and sexual failure.

Exactly.
I'm grateful that I don't get downvoted for the comment btw.
But sorry, this lacks any news or intellectual value whatsoever.
Now if a study would emerge that mirrors as a reflective tool are a proven deterrent of riot police, this would incite some nice debates about the human psyche.
I don't want to listen to some guy with dirty undies hanging on his bedpost talking about the "evil black riot police" and how they get schooled with grandma's with mirrors.
The hippies used to do this with flowers in the 60's. That is a long time ago. Is it true that riot police is getting more violent or aggressive in nature? Or could it be that those helmets and shields are there to protect them from cranial bleeding.
