    Olympic protesters have shut down one of the busiest roads in Tokyo, in Harajuku. Police are clearing the road for them and yelling into megaphones asking passersby to make way for protesterspic.twitter.com/xkSVNY7Cdj

        I admire the athletes but the the people who host the games are subjected to them.

        Police assisting the public in their protest. Land of the Free. UK and USA would have been cracking skulls by this point.

        I believe this is all a big misunderstanding. Ryan Lochte did not make the USA team. 😆

        They had a permit. As you can see the police were in front. They were just asking that they stay on the side of the road. That’s all. No street was shut down. Only one area was shut down so the Olympic vehicles could get by.

        Exactly this. Japan require permits to protest and don’t “shut down” roads to do it. The video even shows traffic flowing in both directions.

        No. You need a permit from the police to protest.
