Oakland Police Shoot, Protesters Flee at protest

[firewarrior343]

Ok kiddies, heres the deal, The first amendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." The police have no right to stop them unless they pose a threat to themselves or others. I saw nothing that would warrent such an action by the police.

[Giff911]

Thats right, troops are overseas fighting for your right to sit there and bitch about the fact that they're over there. Get over yourself, and big woop, tear gas and rubber bullets, too bad they can't use live rounds for this stupid goofy ass shit! :)

[SvenNetpimp]

Giff911 - exactly how does killing Iraqis protect our right to protest here in America ?? Christ, you're brainwashed

[34driver]

No Giff, these people are actually with the terrorists. They love Bin Laden, they think he's a hero. They hate our soldiers, and call the taliban freedom fighters. They are traitors, and should be treated as such.

[double5son10]

Fuck your mother in the ass you Nazi

[bentkarma83]

lol tedz u are so right shyt u think theyd care if sum1 gets hurt so naive we need to march in order to say something tht is infecting our lives but police dunt let u say shyt ther is no freedom of speech its just brutality for so called laws of the U.S..

[bsfl1]

tear gas

[teds444]

Welcome to Hitler's Germany!

Er, sorry, Welcome to Bush's USA.

The land of free speech.

(Typical American overkill!)

[spaceliner62]

let's fuck with the cops and see what they do to us

[Alternatevil]

Hmm. So they just shot like that? Was anyone hurt?

[Spleenage]

read the description dumbass

[LoChUk]

wahhaha.. yeahhhhh nigga , they r now suffering all round the world.. each American will die like a PIG!!!

[canadianroot]

warcrime911...you nailed it on the head!

[skatecky3]

you stupid hippies deserved it it shows you wouldn't survive a war much less police shooting tear gas and rubber bullets at you if the us is invaded by an opposing army then you would proble be killed instantly because you would be protesting the invasion and end up getting shoot.

[SvenNetpimp]

So you think anti-war protesters should move into more extreme forms of resistance?

[Jamesray77]

fuck the police, throw a stick of dynamite on their ass next time people!

[WindOfLiberty]

The usa police is crazy, the protesters aren't very agressive and they shoot on them! for what!!!do u think is normal?

[SWmodel29]

trow nukes on america

[SvenNetpimp]

New York Times - March 20, 2006

OAKLAND, California - A clash between the police and antiwar protesters here nearly three years ago will cost the City of Oakland more than $2 million, including dozens of payouts to people injured when officers fired wooden dowels, bean bags and rubber pellets.

The Oakland City Council is scheduled Tuesday to approve the final payments related to the incident, which was the most violent of many protests nationwide in the early weeks of the Iraq war.

[realitychecks]

wow. Well I guess since they see people as money then when they hurt people they can just pay them money to shut up and not actually be responsible for their actions. I can assure you nobody lost their job of protecting citizens even though they harmed them while on the job. Thanks for the post sven didnt know which one this was. Man I see all these videos and wonder what else they do that dont get seen.

[DornBear]

What was the resolution of this?

What was the response of the police department?

Was there a lawsuit? or Were there any disciplinary actions taken?

Unbelieveable that they would fire at a peaceful crowd - and follow them.

Does anyone have more info?

[realitychecks]

"We the people, and we want peace" Bang take that you peace lovin hippies bang bang bang. ah haha my god complex and adrenaline recepters are really getting a workout today. Hmmm I think Ill shoot that woman in the face, yeah the defenseless one crouching behing her "FEAR TOTALITARIANISM" sign. Bang got her right between her peace loving eyes hahahaha, im sure all my fellow heartless bastards will get a real kick out of this later.

[realitychecks]

You see if they shoot you at a peaceful protest they assume it will make less and less people protest, and for a while it might, but eventually everyone will have enough and no amount of rubber bullets will stop it. Police are very important in society, now they need to start acting like it.

[realitychecks]

SING A SONG OF PEACE AND GET SHOT! AMERICA america what have they done to you. Ill never leave you or concede to give up the white and blue. The red was shed from men long dead to keep everyone here free. Not to entertain by causing pain to a woman on her knees. I ask you now to change somehow, and hear my lonely plee, America is beautiful, if only it were still free.

[Existo21]

You say black people played no part in their liberation but you do not want to tell us what led the white people to change their ''law''. I say it was the black people PROTESTING against the US authoritarianism and getting murdered that led some of the white people to vote and elect new government. What do you think led to the white people to vote and elect a new government?

[Existo21]

What makes your argument so profoundly stupid is that it's not provable. If you want to say that out of nowhere white people woke up one day and collectively decided to free black people, of course that's already proven to be bullshit since it was the white man that kept the black man in chains for hundreds of years! It wasn't until the black man started PROTESTING that the whitey considered changing his ''law''. So stop blowing smoke up my ass.

[WemfRaver2003]

Existo, do you even understand these big words you are using? Are you saying it was the blacks that took over the country and made whitey vote them rights? Whitey had nothing to do with this right? Please read a history book. Existo, just because you are racist doesn't mean you are right. Yes protesting CAN make a difference, so can petitions and electing new officials into your democracy.

[Existo21]

I am glad you understand that no democracy can exist without the right to protest because the other ''history expert'' here doesn't seem to get it...

[WemfRaver2003]

Actually you are the one who cant seem to get it. I did not agree with you wholeheartedly. Blacks protesting were NOT the only ones that changed the laws. I may be wrong, but I thought blacks weren't allowed to protest back then? Also, democracy CAN exist without protest. A perfect democracy wouldn't need protests, they would do the will of the people without it.

[WemfRaver2003]

Also, not ever "whitey" hated blacks to begin with. You think the blacks protested until they had were given underground railway?

[Existo21]

AGAIN: demo cracy means: ''the people/the many''-''rule''. Protest is the only way that the powerless majority that is outside the fundraising machine can be heard by the people who hold very powerful institutions in both government and business alike. Without the right to protest no functioning democracy exists because the many/the demos (Demo) cannot rule (Kratia). It is right in the fuckin word: ''Demo-cracy.''

[WemfRaver2003]

Ah you are talking about modern day corrupted democracy though. That is not truely a democracy, just the illusion of it. California is the closest that I can think of, a Repub controlling a Dem state. Why? Because he is willing to act on the will of the people. Protests are not needed when government actually listens to it's people.

[Existo21]

I will have to agree with you on the corruption part. Yes it is a very dysfunctional system. A baseball fan in California thought the 3 strikes law was a good idea. And he won too cause with enough money ANYBODY can pass any sort of law no matter how wrong it is. It is all PR and Arnold has a very strong one. He acts on the will of the people 'cause the people here do not tolerate the bullshit Bush wins elections on.

[trooper0096]

The US is not a democracy apparently you didn't listen in grade school , The US is a republic, a representative republic to be exact. Citizens elect people to represent them in legislative bodies. All of these so called "police brutality videos" could easily be labeled "mob of idiots blocks streets interfering with interstate commerce, police make them leave"

[WemfRaver2003]

Apparently not, well can you help me out and explain the difference? Also then, why does the US, and the rest of the world for that matter, talk always about spreading demorcracy?

[realitychecks]

The US is none of the above. It is actually more like the mob. The one with the most money/power gets elected, then they do for theirs and those who pay them well, period. Congress can be bought, Police are bought, its all a bad joke that you are a part of. One day all will answer for their actions against man.

These police brutality videos are labeled correctly, if you werent so brutal yourself you could see that. "officer"

[realitychecks]

I agree fully dont let the children on here get you into arguements, just let the smart people know and everyone else can piss off. hehe. Lastly did you know that the word GRESS in latin means OLDEST, and CON of course is to trick. Put that together and you get CONGRESS- The oldest trick in the book.

[SvenNetpimp]

I've heard another version of that joke realitychecks:

we all know that pro and con are opposites.. so then congress is the opposite of progress?

[realitychecks]

hehe yeah I made that joke up on the spot. Gress doesnt mean anything lol. I like that one about progress too hehe. It is a sad day for us when the people in charge are clearly corrupt to the point of it being common knowledge. I guess the jokes on us.

[Existo21]

This is an example of why protests sometimes are the only way the powerless people can be heard by the powerful.

Slavery (and by slavery I mean the period of time where black people had no rights) did not end by voting because black people did not have the right to vote back in those days. It was the protest of people who were fed up with the institutional racism of the US that established the right to vote for black people.

So shut up before you embarrass yourself!

[cdtx2008]

Stupid hippy doushebags, looks like OPD doesnt feel like wasting anymore time dealing with you clowns! We the people my ass! you pussies don't represent shit except your own extremist fringe bullshit! Stay out of West Oakland

[Existo21]

The argument that supports your conclusion is relying upon its own proposition essentially begging the premises to prove itself. Your argument is circular and wrong and none of your cheap ad-hominem attacks can deduce the truth! The anti-discrimination legislation was not given to the people as a ''gift'' by the government but came as a result of endless popular struggle. Check yourself!

[ritch18]

boring

[Existo21]

No it is not subjective. There are universally accepted absolutes that establish people should not be discriminated by the color of their skin. With your ''subjectivity'' you have to respect my opinion and my perspective but with my objectivity I don't have to respect yours. I can just dismiss it as wrong. End of discussion.

[Existo21]

Labour protests in '38 lead to an 8 hour work-day. Thanks to those wonderful people, now if you work more than that YOU will get paid the overtime YOU DESERVE!

Later civil rights protests in the 60s resulted in anti-discrimination legislation! Is that recent enough for you? Cause the more you keep blowing smoke up my ass the more I am going to make you look like an idiot...

[Ahippi]

The simple Truth is, the American public is a deliberately dumbed-down population, who, by their actions, indicate they do not deserve to live in freedom. They are "easy pickins" for the intimidators of a growing Police State.

[Existo21]

Demo-cracy means: ''the people/the many''-''rule''. Protest is the only way that the powerless majority can be heard by the people who hold very powerful institutions in both government and business alike. Without the right to protest no functioning democracy exists because the many/the demos (Demo) cannot rule (Kratia). You see it is right in the word: ''Demo-cracy.'' If you want an example of protest that had a TREMENDOUS impact on the world today go all they way back to the French Revolution.

[Existo21]

My proof: Protests are an absolutely essential democratic component 'cause when a government remains untroubled by the views of its citizens authoritarianism sets in! Unless we keep reminding them that they are there to serve us the citizens then unfortunately the big powerful institutions will take over and will start ruling the roost irrespective of our wishes! Since we both value democracy it is easy to see that we both value the right to protest since we can't have democracy with out it!

[Existo21]

You said most protests are worthless. Prove it.

[realbiggun500]

dumbass hippies i hope they all got dropped

[toothbeaver]

Fuck them it's Oakland, let those monkeys take some lead

[psychoflippy]

Oh well. At least there are lots of funny protester videos that I CAN watch!

[eatadick1]

Protesting is fine. Blocking traffic when people are trying to get to work is not. Those people deserved every rubber bullet that hit them.

[atomicpuppet]

ha! thats so awesome! i wish I could fire some rubber bullets at some modern day hippies.

[Acumensch]

OH PLEASE. WHAT? 25 people need to be shot at by 40 cops? And for what?

Fuck these nazis.

[psychoflippy]

Heh. I love it when protesters get shot at with rubber bullets. Very, very funny when they act all shocked about it!

[GreatKingKudos]

Yeah, cause police shooting people with rubber bullets for protesting a war is funny. You make me sick.

[psychoflippy]

You're damn right it's funny! LOOK AT THEM RUN! THEY'RE LIKE LITTLE BUGS!! HAHAHAHAHAHA! FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY, BITCH!

[fyrefly07]

Indeed. If you want to see shooting, protestors, and funny, watch this flippy:

watch?v=VPDvZa8Nib4

Funny right?

[psychoflippy]

And what the hell is that supposed to mean to me? A bunch of random letters and numbers is supposed to be funny? I don't get it.

[fyrefly07]

Look at your current URL.  Paste that up there.

[psychoflippy]

Does this hilarious video have a name that I can search for?

[GreatKingKudos]

You don't even know how to do something that simple. Wow. That shows me why you think getting shot is funny.

[WemfRaver2003]

King you do realized you used computer/internet language to someone who obviously has no idea how to use a computer right? Just because you don't know how to communicate with others, doesn't mean others are stupid. Simple to you maybe, but if I gave you directions in polish you should easily get it... simple right?

[Ahippi]

The simple Truth is, the American public is a deliberately dumbed-down population, who, by their actions, indicate they do not deserve to live in freedom. They are "easy pickins" for the intimidators of a growing Police State.

[Ahippi]

not communist this is more like Nazi germany.

[BlacklitFloater]

Shooting at people's just going to make them not like war even more because they're giving them a small taste of it.

[OriginalGuest]

So much E-thuggin' going on here at YouTube.

*shakes head*

Do you guys really think it makes you look cool?

[zthepimp]

you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours

[bigdaddyquey]

don't worry we're not that far becoming a communist country after years of denial.

[ResearchX]

Say hello to the Rise of the 4th Reich across America. Wake up people!

[spikeyhairazn]

yes FUCK OPD! that's why u bitch ass pigs got poped at in the deep east! hahaha fucking pigs, yal got no right to shoot at them, they were peaceful protesters, they only shot at them bcus of the fact that it was against the WAR! FUCK THE WAR AND FUCK OPD! im gona throw rocks and bottles at u hahahaha

[navtel]

fascist pig dogs.. imagine they feel justified in doing this.. if they had permission to fire real bullets they probably would do so..

[jetsetjoey]

Say hello to the Police State. This is as bad as Russia was before the collapse of the Iron Curtain!

Wake up America... before it's too late!!!

[ihateslhs]

fuck opd

[superhyphy900]

Fuck the Oakland Police and them crooked ass ridaz cops!!!

[usarmycaptainamerica]

Dot- I am not going to let you define the terms of what I said by miscontstuing my words. NO soldier that I know or have met in the 3 years of active duty service I have and 7 months in the reserves ever said they want to loose the war in Iraq, or they want to leave before we achieve victory.

I will follow up in a email to you as Its too long to post here.

[roda2007]

wat is victory killing a billion iraqi civillians thats victory for u but the soldiers should be doin there jobs to make peace not kill,rape, or beat tem

[sastath]

Well i dont see why so many cops were there it looked like only 20 protesters who cares. And you do have the right to assemble, but without danger or threat to the public, like those huge protest which have to go through proper channels(permits,etc). In this case i dont see brutality, but i do see a waste of taxpayer dollars spent on dealing with a few dozen people with nothing better to do.

[SvenNetpimp]

The anti-war protests are a protest against Bush's policy. They are not protests against the soldiers who are pawns in a huge organization that will put them in jail if they don't obey orders. At this point most of the soldiers don't agree with the policy either.

[usarmycaptainamerica]

Sven-- I am a soldier and yours saying that most soldiers dont agree with the war is a load of crap.

Soldiers want the liberal politicians who are invested in defeat to get the hell out of the way and support the mission so we can win the war and go home in a timely fashion.

[SvenNetpimp]

U.S. Troops in Iraq: 72% Say End War in 2006 * Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll shows just one in five troops want to heed Bush call to stay "as long as they are needed"

[usarmycaptainamerica]

Sven-- Anyone in that poll say they want to leave Iraq in defeat?? I just finished active duty after 3 years of service, I know 1st hand about what soldiers think because I am one, and I have worked with many many many others, no soldier I ever met wants to leave Iraq in defeat, or before the job is done...

[SvenNetpimp]

Time to face facts: basically the two remaining choices are

1) leave in defeat 2) leave in a bodybag

It's not the soldiers fault that Bush lied and the war is hopeless

[CherryStadt]

You can try to reason with these people, but they want us to leave because they don't know and don't care....look what we did to the Afghans in the 80's by abandoning them...these "peace" activists don't understand international relations. Try reasoning with David Duke....you just can't with these types of people.

[usarmycaptainamerica]

Cherry-- Where their is life there is hope. There are 3 types of people in the world, wolves which are the bad guys, the shepards which are people of our mindset, and the rest are just sheeple that get hearded up to safety by us, or led to the slaughter by the wolves of the world.

[statiklingon]

Why does everyone think they are a shepherd?

[usarmycaptainamerica]

Stat-- Not everyone does, you know what you are in your heart, if youre evil or a sheeple deal with it.

[Bobbyhill7519]

you dont need a fucking permit

[SvenNetpimp]

exactly, the 1st amendment says Americans have the right to peaceful assembly and to petition for redress of grievances

[3mate1]

Protesting in Oakland will NEVER get our troops out of Iraq. This is all the venting frustration, and has more to do with the individual protester's egos than anything else.

[SvenNetpimp]

why not? protests and general strikes persuaded the british to leave India

[dkstoney]

Our troops being sent by Satan, Inc. to illegally invade Iraq have nothing to do with our right to protest. Most of those protestors are out there to get our troops out of harm's way. Don't forget: not ties to WTC and no WMDs.

[pradelphotos]

Its called tear gas people, its a major part of ANTI protests and SWAT (for clearing rooms. They where most likely clearing the way for what ever the reason.

i have to say TEAR GAS SUCKS ASS i have to get it in the face in a high does in as part of training...

[satinelilkitten]

I'm not a hippy with no job nor do i beleive that our armed forces belong in Iraq. These kind of scenes though are disturbing to watch. Isn't anyone allowed to have an opinion anymore or does it have to be all your greeat Presidents way. By the way i could never hate a soldier who is just serving his orders and his country.

[f7ix]

AMERICA A FREE COUNTRY !

YEAH RIGHT!

[mostdimentionless]

when people protest against an illegal war, they're not expected to be fired on even with gas rounds from the police force of a democratic country. If you don't like them, fine. You can't shoot people or gas them because you don't like them.

[chuckheinch]

that's the problem with losers like you. you are so concerned with your personal rights that you don't consider what is good for the masses. with freedom you have to give up certain liberties for the safety of everyone. individualism is the downfall of this once great country. plus they were given a lawful order to disperse. since when is breaking the law a civil liberty?

[wig3]

This is just the beginning, you'll see over the coming years, your rights will be taken away from you. The police will become the peoples enemy.

[thefirstaerojack]

The police need to remember just this one thing--

We the people have many more guns than they do!!!

Oh and people please remember rifles are MUCH more powerful than a handgun and most rifle shots will penetrate a cops vest!!! HEHEHE

[JaxieBoy]

Ironic.

The police are supposed to protect and serve.

@acecool79: Exactly.

Even more ironic, I used to support the Iraq War.

Not so much anymore.

[mrogrieg]

Almost three years after the bloody police riot at the Port of Oakland that left nine ILWU longshore workers & dozens of anti-war demonstrators injured and scores of protesters and one ILWU business agent arrested, the City of Oakland finally settled the lawsuits against the police. The settlement included not only monetary damages for the injuries and constitutional rights trampled, but new, more restrictive policies on the Oakland Police Department's use of force in protest situations.

[phoenixamaranth]

I didn't see a riot or an outburst of violence I simply saw police taking the right to protest peacefully away from citizens.

[sageb1]

Anti-war protestors == threat to the State.

The cops r just protecting the right of the rich to be allowed not to watch anti-war protestors not ruin their morning.

Kewl: if anti-war protestors had retaliated then it'd be a riot. and FYI those non-lethal use of force can be dangerous up close.

[kewl0069]

its the peoples fault for not fighting back it takes blood shed to stop blood shed. If the protesters fought back the cops would have ran away and cried mommy. Just wait our country is seeing more of this stuff every day we grow more resistant and we will fight for our constitution. Civil War is coming I can see it coming. What side will you all fight on? Sit at home and watch CNN? or grab a gun and fight? America was founded on treason next it will be founded on terrorist.

[KoreyAusTex]

You have to fight the corrupt police state, the only rights you have are the ones you fight tooth and nail for. You have to let the cops know they work for us!

[Vote4urRIGHTS]

Stand up for the constitution or else you will perish by their hands...Vote democrat and do not tolerate and Voting Fraud from the GOP come NOVEMBER 7

[Coalbunny]

No, their liability is when they do not uphold the constitutional rights of the sitizens they swore to protect. Now they are commiting outright acts of violence against people for voicing their opinions? Those cops were shooting people that weren't being unruly or violent or destructive. They were shooting at everyone. What's next? Shooting people with rubber bullets at the voting centers if they don't vote for the right person?

[Coalbunny]

This is because the liberal pansies destroyed the 2nd amendment....

[dREDiMovement]

No, asshole, it's because the department's liability insurance goes up everytime they kill someone or are sued. Thus, the 'less than lethal' projectiles. It's a case of dollars and cents, stoopid ameriKKKan!

[B1ackmagic]

Average American.

[ftbarr]

oink oink

[robertredbeard]

Nobody needs a permit. That is an illegal law.

The constitution says nothing about a permit.

[bigbadlove777]

sometimes i just think the police want to kill every1 that is not a police!

[shawn37015]

just imagine where our wonderful country will be in ten years with our constitution being squandered like this more and more everyday,we have no rights until we are arrested and put through the motions of this wonderful justice system that prevails to only the police who supposably uphold it!!!if you aint got money friends, dont get in any trouble!!!

[MrHairyNutz]

dilbertgeg is more then right he speaks the truth

[dilbertgeg]

Yeah police should shoot Christians and 2nd Amendment supporters too. More Wacos. [sarcasm] They took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Violating that oath is more than lawbreaking, close to treason.

[globalzerorecords]

we should not allow police to do this to our own people

[brehoney]

freedom of speech... duh???

[raynevandunem]

I hear alot about how bad Oakland is, such as how the education sucks rocks (I had an acquaintance who came from there to college in Atlanta; he told me about it), the police are both corrupt and politically-motivated, and the crime is off-the-charts.

Guess they're right.

Funny, since they're also known for having been the birthplace of the Black Panthers, and for that story about how the police had infiltrated the anti-war protester crowd so as to get someone arrested.

[CharlesHubert]

People do have the right to peaceably assemble, but no where does it say that they can block traffic without a permit and destroy private or public property. I doubt I am a fascist or a republican for not supporting your same political ideals. I also doubt that people who have different views from your own will be lead to a "well deserved slaughter".

[charlesbesso]

If individuals of the group are guilty of a crime then they should be arrested for said crimes, however this does not mean you deny the rest the right of peaceful assembly as well as their freedom of speech.

[scphares]

American's today are such pussies compared to american's back when the country was formed.

[TimColivet]

America needs to practice democracy a little closer to home.

[droppedmidget]

hmm i love the way america silences protests against its government, you go straight to the violent option. there is no crowd resistance here or violent actions from the crowd. the police used violent force to break up a peaceful protest, kinda smacks of a police state dont it?

[RighteousRepublican]

Well... it worked, right?

[horgurce]

Dude dont drink the bong water...and cut back on the tofu..your credibility is totally shot..peacefull protest has rules once you escalate the police will take charge...as of yet to see misconduct by law enforcement on any these.

[charlesbesso]

Because you're blind, opposing your unalienable right to peacefully protest is ILLEGAL

[horgurce]

peacefull? i agree 100%.have at it knock yourself out. but once you create a PUBLIC hazard due to desrtuction of property,assault...etc. what about the peoples right to drive to work? to walk on the sidewalk? not have their property damaged/destroyed?whos job is it to protect those folks..the police.

[SvenNetpimp]

there was no destruction of property or assault by the protesters in the video or in news reports

you're full of crap, mr.

[qazwas2001]

No wonder it's been so easy to take rights away from you Americans. Most of you are completely ignorant of their value.

[shollow4]

We are not ignorant. We just know that violence is not a good way to exercise them.

[qazwas2001]

Obviously you are ignorant. Where is the violence on the part of the protesters in this video? It isn't the actions of the police in this video that disturbs me, it is the utterly idiotic comments some of you have made.

[pfo335]

they werent shooting real bullets, they were either shooting tear gas or bean bullets not at them but close to them.

[statiklingon]

Oakland Police "shoot", eh? How can anyone trust anything else you say now? Next time try to sell this story to people who don't have access to information.

[redblackdevil]

jtt1337 got it wrong, first off the airhorns were honks of support from the union dockworkers and second of all check out this picture of the wooden bullets the cops shot that day, the protestors did not just imagine these things they were seriously injured by them.

[munichlovely]

if you were getting your sorry ass shot, i bet you'd be running and soiling your panties.

[emsed1]

Everyone has the right to peaceably assemble. You cannot shut down public roadways and incite rioting.

It's like the freedom of speech example of shouting FIRE in a crowded theater. That is not protected behavior.

[biffbyford]

Hold the frickin' camera still when you're in a riot damnit!

[acecool79]

Ignorant people who are for the distruction of democracy and justice do not impress me. The police were wrong and this video shows the sort of violence that they have inflicted. Good for the protesters.

[Kamenrider69]

RIGHT, SERVICE THEM RIGHT...SOME SAID RIOT! THAT EVEN WORSE....SO WHY R THEY PROTEST IN THE FIRST PLACE...

[qazwas2001]

Since they are holding "NO WAR" signs, I'll go out on a limb and say they are protesting the war. But what they are protesting about is not as important as is their Constitutional right to peaceful assembly. And if you don't know why that is important, you're just and idiot.

[ImNotAnIdiot]

Ahhaa dumb bitches. Even after they were owned by the police, they kept chanting.. " Uh, we dont um, we the, um people.. AHIIIIII!!!!! "
