Protesting

So my father and his fellow workers weren't the only ones who went on strike. I heard about several other strikes, unlike the one my father took part in, the other strikes got a bit out of hand. Many strikes ended up with violence. I'm not sure if the ones striking were the ones who caused the violence or if it was the police not wanting the strike to go on any longer so they decided to put matters into their own hands. Either way I feel that the violence was too much. Those who were on strike did nothing wrong so for it to go that far was a bit drastic.
