Any activist serious about their role in attempting to change the system is bound to come into contact with the cops sometime in their journey. Often this will be a life changing event opening your eyes to the reality of the way cops see themselves and those that dare to question them and their actions.
As a citizen engaged in social and environmental activism since 1997 in Townsville and North Queensland I have had many such encounters.
