Greek police march in protest ahead of PM's keynote speech
"Members of Greece's police force and other emergency services took to the streets of the country's second city to demand better pay and conditions from the government.
Even as the Greek prime minister was arriving in Thessaloniki for perhaps the most important speech of his career police officers, fire fighters and members of the coast guard demonstrated in the streets.
The city is bracing itself for a wave of marches and protests that are expected to accompany Costas Karamanlis's keynote speech during the annual international Thessaloniki trade fair after recently announced snap elections for the 4th October."
Apparently, the police think that their contributions to Greek society have gone unrewarded. Don't ask me I'm biased.
