Throwing stones at the police

when I was a kid we used to throw stones and bottles and stuff at the police when they drove past.

I live in northern Ireland so there were political reasons for it although we were too young to understand. all we knew was that the police were the enemy.

does this ever happen in your area and where are you from?

    It's like the old saying goes, if you put a bottle rocket in a cage with a cat you won't have ripe pudding on Christmas day, if you know what I mean.

    I used to flip everyone off and yell rude things just to establish that no one should be able to do anything back to me, ((I just move to the states) people said I'd get shot.
    Once Drunk I tried grabbing a cops gun.., in Denver. Luckily the cop just told my friends to take me away

    No. I hope the police throw stones at you. You know...when you're tied to a post in the street.

      hat's not very nice. they were in armoured land rovers and they used to beat the shit out of people all the time and sometimes kill people. most of them saw irish people as animals.

    This was unfortunately true during the early history of Northern Ireland up to the late 1980s were majority of the force was filled by Loyalists who abused their powers detaining and discriminating against the Nationalist community.

    The police force was disbanded and a new secular police force that consisted members of both communities but there is still a general distrust of the force.

    Saying this, both communities have been responsible for horrible acts on one again. I don't get the continuous hatred of a person because of their religious affiliation. This is fucking Europe, not some Banana Republic backwater.
