Police at RNC Launch Tear Gas at Protesters

[MrBunsX]

man that was some fun times lol,

[steers83bravo]

What's funny is people act like this is the most horrible thing in the world

they should be thankful that they live in a country that doesn't mow down everyone who protests

these people are being told to disperse because they were getting unruly and going towards areas they aren't supposed to go

How is this shocking?

This is a country that considers the material comfort of it's top 10% more important than the lives of civilians.

This is something I'd expect from the North American capitalist empire.

In any other country the North Americans, their capitalist friends, and whoever they buy off would be shooting at civilians with bullets.

Just like they did in Cuba, in the Philippines, in Santa Marta, in Grenada, in Panama, and everywhere a poor man's life is passed over for a Cadillac.

Wherever republicans go, authoritarianism follows.

[schneids357]

this is sick and wrong, the people here were doing nothing wrong, nor were they violating any laws. its a discrace to our constitution when riot police do things like this. its just sad

[ClubCrKz]

I love the screams of pain and horror.

Music to my bleeding ears.

Seriously, people - It's fucking Tear Gas. How is that not expected, and of all places at the RNC? "No shit" is what you should be saying to your selves.

How about this, come prepared next time - Bring a damp cloth! Better yet, don't be the dumb ass and call foul play when your little screaming party gets shot up full of gas and pepper spray.

Fucking pansies.

This is so funny. I like it when protesters get what they deserve. Go America!!!

[Chero444]

I agree! Go North Korea!

[catharsis89]

Yeah!  Fucking protesters! We should totally repeal the First Amendment!

[curbsidewhiskey]

Ok let's take a minute here and look at what you just said. You basically said that we should take OUR own RIGHT to speak freely, practice religion, and so forth. You don't happen to have Down Syndrome do you? Or are you just really fuckin stupid?

[NskFDBK]

He's stupid and enjoys his own freedom to work as a slave, that's OK with many people %)) Unfortunately... =/

[catharsis89]

It's called sarcasm, you ignorant fucker.

[thecosmiccomedy]

where's the video of the police spraying people point blank in the face with pepper spray after they already shot off the tear gas. obviously nobody was trying to stay after the tear gas. and "unscheduled" isn't really true. unannounced is more accurate. the permit went up until 7pm and anti-flag was only scheduled until 6:15. it was scheduled, the city was just afraid of it and violated the first amendment by not letting them play.

Oh my look it's like in Russia... free world my ass =)

Republican party = Nazi gastapos

[CopRUsingProvocateur]

cop have repeatedly staged attacks with cops dressed as protesters to allow police to use the terror tactics of marshal law for decades the have used undercover cops to incite violence against property and persons to have a photo op to justify violence ,the gov is despicable people ,the wind is coming from the north so the cops tell people to head north while they shoot tear gas upwind with no escape wake the fuck up

[freedomcorp]

Looks like 4th of July on my street!!

Where are all the threatening protesters???

[mattfreaknparker]

we got the fuck out of there. tear gas burns like hell. by the way, most of those protestors were there because the riot police wouldnt let rage play on the capital steps in an unscheduled event. the worst thing they could have ever done is pissed off 200 rage against the machine fans. i am going tonight in minneapolis though where, no doubt, they will speak against the fucking pigs for firing tear gas at a PEACEFUL protest including children, people in wheelchairs, and the elderly.
