    Another stupid fool like you. Why don't you organise the next protest match and test the police by assaulting them since you are the brave one?
    Common sense is not common indeed.

    Attafuah should know better,is he saying that demonstrators should disregard rules and regulations?If you flout the laws of the land you have to be punished and that is exactly what the police did.

    Some of our educated men would have been better without school. Please ask your party to investigate why the demonstrator veered off the agreed route. You are not the only sensible person in Ghana
