Bersih 3.0

Compared to Bersih 2.0, i wasn't really into this Bersih 3.0. Again, things didn't turn out as peaceful as Amiga first proposed - Sit and Protest Peacefully. From the medias, usually videos uploaded by the Bersih supporters and the Police reporters, that was a serious car accident which apparently knocked down a few people until one is dead. This caused panic and the violence begin. What i seen from the videos, and from many comments on social networks, many actually against the polices and thought they are just the same bunch of "bad guy" who did the "bad things" to people. They believed polices were there mainly to spray tear gas on them. Of cause, we don't know what happen actually. But i want to point out few things here:

1. What is this rally mainly for? If for the request of cleaner election, why there is violence? Why there are people look like they were there to cause the chaos, rather than to protest peacefully?

2. Why must be Dataran Merdeka? If you are mean to have a place to gather people to ask for authority attention, there is other option where the permit is allowed.

3. Why must always against the Police? I know they are very corrupted, but our people still need police to safeguard us, not all the police are the same. Are they merely against them, just because of the bias or against to the current government?

Bersih 3.0 is successful in many places, but surely not in KL. Because of their ignorance to authority's permit at first, the Bersih 3.0 is fail before it ever started this morning.
