#1 the problem here is that police allow counter-protesters to organise at the same time and place

which is inciting violence

they go on purpose to shut down the first group of protesters with a violent street fight, openly advertising this is what they are about - shutting them down

this is anti-free speech. they should let the first group have their whinge, then oganise their counter rally for the next day.

But they do not - because they get rewarded

the media reward them by giving them a platform for their views.

If instead they reported them as anti-free-speech counter-protesters and blocked them from getting any message in the paper, and printed only views from the first group

and if the police refused to give permission for counter rallies at the same place/time and arrested any troublemakers

then we would have a lot more respect for freedom of speech and the whole culture of PEACEFUL protest could be brought back. everyone would have a chance to have their say

#4 IMO, "nti-racism protesters" sounds better.
