The anti-government protests in Thailand are against corruption. This is the same trend we are seeing in Ukraine and will erupt in Europe, Japan, and then eventually the USA after 2016. The economy has to turn down before you get protests.
The downside of these types of protests is when the police benefit from the corruption. Then as you can see in this photograph, far too often to see the hatred in their eyes driven by self-interest – they like the corruption the way it is.
