Nov 23, 2008 - you have higher taxes than millionaries, you can't protest, you must support war otherwise you're called a terrorist & you don't have a public healthcare. Greetings from a former soviet bloc!

Nov 23, 2008 - vid,since you're not an american citizen,your information is second hand or hearsay.this was an instance of attempted mob rule. if these protesters were really protesting they wouldn't have to cover their faces.what do you think would have happened if the mob had been allowed to run around unchecked?

Nov 23, 2008 - life lesson to all who read the following:Trained men in full battle-rattle versusunorganised college kids with no brainsequalsa lot of painp.s. a camera does not create some magical force field that will save you.

Nov 23, 2008 - The cops look like they are going to be droped of in a warzone after they stop the protest.

Nov 23, 2008 - at least these anarchists know wat theyre talking bout, i hate it when some teens just break windows and say "yay anarchy" when they dont know wat theyre talking bout
sergey444 Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - seriously i'm not for the protestors or anything, but I do see a dramatic change in the police response to "civil unrest." Before it seemed like the boss said, "be careful not to be the agressor" Now its, do whatever u can, besides killing them to get them off the streets.the police behavior is a lot more forcefull and agressive, than it was even a couple years ago.
BurtonSnowFlow Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - I know who ever disagree are just selfish police save lifes everyday.
stevennelson88 Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - why dont people shoot these fucking pigs? i was there. fuck them. FIGHT BACK!
KJPDude Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - this is the bright future your children have to look forward to. FUCK THE POLICE STATE.
hfl2005 Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - Oh and the behavior of the protester hasnt escalated? Face it these people WANT this from the police otherwise they couldnt yell FASCISM FASCISM
hfl2005 Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - Because you are in the minority and mentally deranged
hfl2005 Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - Actually fuck youThese people were out there asking for it If I could I would be out there beating down a protester myself
Drub808 Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - Are you serious?It's easy to see that that protest would have been nonviolent if the police hadn't gotten involved.What was the point of stopping it with batons and bullets?oh i forget! groups of people with the same ideas saying things out loud is dangerous! who knows? some kid might get a sign of hope from seeing the people expressing their views. God forbid a speculative youth.. yup. so our America remains the same: let's propagate hatred towards differences and call it freedom
thejuryissleepless Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - this is why i couldnt show up to the anti-capitalista movement. i knew most of my brothers and sisters would be arrested, that the pigs would fight the socialists and anarchists, because it's so easy to justify for them, the media, the government etc. "keep the peace" i would have been right there with you all -- if i hadnt been leaving for india 6 days later. I raged it up no the streets after the IVAW show though. THis video just proves:THEY ARE AFRAID OF US!!!Thanks for this footage!
thejuryissleepless Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - FUCK YEA MAN! Well said
fireflake4 Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - The cops name that said "get back" and started that squirmish, is Scott 05-001. Unneccessary for him to do that!
