Little has been heard from the officers themselves, largely because they have been ordered not to speak to the news media. But in separate interviews without the knowledge or consent of police officials, six current and former officers spoke of the frustration that they and many others on the force felt at bearing the brunt of the protesters’ anger, and at having their hands tied by a government policy that eschews confrontation, at least for now. With the exception of Steve Vickers, a former head of police criminal intelligence, they all spoke on the condition of anonymity. Among the specific complaints of the police: that protesters have been allowed to shout at them and poke them with the umbrellas that have become a symbol of their protest. Officers are also upset that protesters have been allowed to block roads with more than 1,000 barricades that belong to the police.
