00:00Criminals in uniform, they're walking everywhere.

00:03Just because they do not have the articulate jargon, language to express it

00:08doesn't mean they don't know what's going on.

00:10They took his life and they didn't even want to go to his family

00:12and locked themselves in the police station.

00:13They shut it and they can't even tell the family.

00:15The function of police is to control the have-nots in a society

00:19and they do that very well.

00:20You get stopped, you get stopped, you get stopped.

00:22It's death by a hundred attempts.

00:23They're here to authorise what you can and cannot do

00:26and that's all they're about.

00:28For me, there was humanity in that

00:29and there was love in the response of the people when they got to the police car.

00:31Our whole position in this planet is based on immorality.

00:38Those people you give nothing to believe in

00:41aren't blind to the example that you've set.

00:43All that warmongering and beaving.

00:45Many of the young people who were, you know,

00:48sort of arrested during the presidential election

00:50have come into adulthood with war as a norm.

00:54This is criminality, pure and simple

00:57and it has to be confronted and defeated.

01:00How many of you voted for the illegal war in Iraq?

01:03You know, how many of you voted for us to bring humanitarian bombs to Libya?

01:07Freedom, you know, that's probably the most powerful,

01:10most precious thing someone could take from someone.

01:12Freedom.

01:13Deep down, people know that prisons are an awful and wrong place.

01:18Usually they impeach and they attack each other

01:21but that day they exploded at the things that they feel oppressed by.

01:25The political structure we live within this country

01:27is what you could consider an authoritarian regime.

01:30Next time when we're going to riot, rush the bankers, take back from them,

01:33go into Comet and what and just smash up the television, take down the media.

01:38The person who's got nothing to lose is probably

01:40the most dangerous person in the world

01:42and you don't need 10 of them, you just need one.

01:45I want to hear your story, Fahimullah.

01:47You were wrongly convicted of rioting.

01:49You spent six weeks in jail.

01:51When the people came out in the streets,

01:53they showed that they were fully engaged with politics.

01:56I think you can't link the riots to that.

01:58Most of the riots you've been in.

01:59We are fed up of hearing elite white men speaking up for the people.

02:06It's like a fire, it starts, it sparkles and then it just blows, you know.
