This of course is exactly the sort of thing that could backfire spectacularly and cause a second round to the revolution.
'Many members of die-hard soccer fans who were among the protesters vowed to storm the ministry.
"Either they (police) will die or we will die," said Islam, a member of the Ultras, said. "We are willing to die for the blood of martyrs." '
LOL.
I don't really see what's funny about that comment, beyond that it showcases this event has created renewed oppositional vigour.
The entire of the Egyptian protest movement is a joke. Will they ever be done protesting? First they wanted Mubarak gone. He left. Now they want 'the Generals' to hand over power. Will they really be satisfied if the Generals step down? No. Police brutality will still happen. The security forces will still abuse power. Their problems are systemic, and what's needed is not more protests, or the resignation of this person, or that person, but someone who can work inside the system to really transform it. However, police brutality happens in every country-- including the USA. I mean, even the Salafists are better than de facto anarchists. At least the Salafists participate in elections. The de facto anarchists first said they wanted democracy, but now they won't participate in it. If it doesn't involve them scapegoating the Interior Ministry for their unhappiness, they aren't interested.
