"We settled on the bra protest. We thought it would be most appropriate for what had happened. It’s not like we were saying we don’t respect ourselves. We were disgusted by what had been done."

"I was seriously offended that a police force that is supposed to protect us had assaulted a woman in front of everyone."

"I felt down as a citizen of this country to know that our police force, which is obligated to protect us, could abuse a woman in full view. I was silent for a while as I tried to internalise what I had just seen. The next day i knew for sure that we would have to do something. We couldn't let this pass."
