i know it's not quite as bad over here but we've definitely had some very similar oppressive police tactics being used to prevent any protesting whatsoever. currently i am struggling to fully understand the mentality shown here. i feel we should be above this by now. |

sadly, the media never seems to cover these incidents properly. its a really astounding smack in the face. that cop probably even thinks hes doing the right thing aswell. |

to be the devil's advocate: freedom of speech is one thing, having a huge sign with the word "bush" on it with the s in the form of a swastika, is another. if you want to invite aggression, by all means use those signs, or some other extremities. you're free to do so. but don't start crying when you actually get some form of aggression. |

of course this banner is insulting, but police starting violence in demonstrations is not an isolated incident. |

cop on a bike in shorts takes it personally. this is about as interesting as a bar brawl. |

I don't think it's that simple. I think there's enough evidence in the vid to suggest that the police planned on inciting aggression so that they'd be able to stop the protest with no questions asked. It's becoming a common practice. |

Thought provoking video- thanks for posting. It is more than just a "pub brawl"- it wasn't just a civilian that turned the whole thing violent, it was a cop. He should have been witholinding the law and obviously it was within the law for those guys to protest. goDel, I sorta agree with you, but since a cop started violence for no reason, I think your argument falls flat. |

I think you mean 'upholding the law', not withholding LOL. And the narrator on the vid says there was a cop in plain clothes mingling with the protest crowd, so obviously it was pre-planned to start a disturbance to give the cops an excuse to shut the protest down. The plainclothes cop was probably hiding in the crowd to try and listen to what the protesters plans were, and feed that back to the cops |
