No, they are too busy ducking random gunfire.

Because of a protest.

No because their neighbors are busy shooting each other and/or them.

Besides, robocop can take care of Detroit.

Detroit goes to show that America is better at riots as well.

Its based on a very generous estimate of how many people protested.

You're right. All that nonsense in 2009 was just a kerfluffle with no stolen election. Opposition candidates have been imprisoned, tortured, and killed for...kicks?

So you know that there was a stolen election? You have vote totals to prove this? Reliable ones?

Remember, simply because you don't don't like a particular government does not indicate that they are the only group with an incentive to lie about something. Its just as likely that Mousavi and others are guilty of misrepresenting the truth.

Similarly, the fact that opposition leaders may have been encouraging their followers to riot is more than sufficient reason for them to be jailed, and in many places is sufficient for their execution.

You're very clearly confusing what you want to be true, with what you know is true.
