A scuffle broke out between police and protesters, and the policemen surged forward, kicking and pushing the scattering demonstrators. One of the protest's leaders explained that the police had previously exercised restraint when dealing with them. "We carry out our protests in a peaceful manner," he said. "We never have anarchy." Then he added, for portentous effect: "Not yet." The demonstrations are indeed growing more aggressive: on Feb. 19, villagers blockaded a main road in the Sidoarjo area to protest...
