Brutality in Hungary

In Hungary hundreds of thousands were attackedhttp by police going home after a anniversary celebration of the major opposition party Fidesz. Peaceful celebrants, pensioners, families or simple passers-by and tourists were beaten up indiscriminately. Policemen were equipped with ski masks, illegal cobra sticks, rubber bullets and did not have their compulsory identification badges. Populist prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsany, a member of the socialist Party admitted that police in some cases of direct instruction. 52-56% of voters in Hungary are represented by Fidesz. The police had an explanation for the attack. They said a small group of people coming from elsewhere was into the peaceful crowd. Wasn't it their job to seperate them?, to protect innocent people by hurting innocent people, i am not sure, but I do not feel they were right and took the problem into legal matters, because they was not sure of who they were helping/hurting. Police sometimes take control of things too abruptly.
