| Message | May I ask why? If a demonstration starts turning into a riot should it be allowed turn into a riot, or should it be ended before it developes to that level? |

| Message | -Two words: "believe" "potential" Exactly, and if the police dont "believe" that there is "potential" for trouble then it will carry on. I'd rather be safe then sorry. If someone slipped in with a bomb and the police got information, then why should they be powerless to stop it |

| Message | They could say "Someone has a bomb, everyone who doesn't want to die in a fiery explosion may want to leave." And attempt to apprehend the person with the bomb |

| Message | -They could say "Someone has a bomb, everyone who doesn't want to die in a fiery explosion may want to leave." And attempt to apprehend the person with the bomb- If you announced to the crowd that someone had a bomb, will they all leave peacefully? Of course not. It'd be chaos. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
