May Day 2007 Los Angeles MacArthur Park

[noisyrag2]

Notice this person cut out the beginning of the video. I wonder why? It couldn't be because it showed the true reason why that dude ended up on the ground.

[DEDA96]

run yu little good for nothing desert parasites, run...nobody wants you here except for slave labor...that is how pathetic your race is...and yet your proud?/ of what?? to look just like the color of shit in your eyes, hair  and whole body??

[kiminiaitakute]

@DEDA96: Run, you racist piece of trash who can't even properly communicate on the Internet. Run back to Europe so that you can get ass raped by their justice system there. Actually, swim...and pray to your jealous and vengeful Christian God that He will protect you as you make your harsh trek across the Atlantic. You are a curse and an eyesore to our society, you who was born from the incest of your parents.

[DEDA96]

@kiminiaitakute LOL haha 

[DEDA96]

@kiminiaitakute lo U mad At the truth ??  please go be exploited like God in heaven intended you to be :)) My German shepard has more sense. I am staying here just like millions of other gringo :))) nothing you can do

[ServeTruth2u]

kill sub human garbage now!

[neckarsulme]

Wow, what a bunch of tough guys!!!

[rik90033]

that was not a kid it was a small guatemalteco.......

[mrp92a]

that kid was not beaten. he got whacked twice with a baton, no harm done.

[allislogic]

well, to comment on the very last comment...this is a clip we caught because REMEMBER we were being beat down and chased. there are other videos that also show what happened before this clip was taken. it was even on the news. the brother was sitting down when all this went down and as he tried to get up my clip is what followed.

[Timsierramist]

I couldn't tell whether he was trying to stand up against them again or was just facing the threat. People shouldn't jump to conclusions on this video shot.  He could of been playing Mr. Tough (you can't hurt me, i'm 19) stance or was just genuinely scared and maybe asking them not to hit him.

[allislogic]

or he got up because he wasn't getting beat down and wanted to leave since the orders he was getting were to leave.

[Timsierramist]

I'm not arguing that possibility either..

[Timsierramist]

As a strong supporter of law enforcement, I can't really see any justification for them beating on this kid.

Of course, we didn't see the whole video and there could be several possibilities.

As a Conservative,I "lightly" agree with these strong conservative comments below, but not to the crazy far right extent that they go. They give us regular conservative Americans a bad name.

[PrickBaxter]

I wish they would have kicked her teeth in, handcuffed her, and deported her! She has zero rights to be here, express her anarchist opinions, or have her future babies cared for. These people thank god when their welfare checks come in, and then spit on your flag and country. Show some Viking spirit and smash their skulls in with a spiked club. All you liberal pussies are going to be the first ones they rob and kill when government handouts run out. Watch and see.

[resist626]

sowe cant express any opinions in the land of the free? home of the slave indigenous holocaust?..fuck i took this vid some time ago fawk all you xenophobic fucks yall just sucking lou dobbs dick and money embezzeling jim gilchrist implementation of borders has been a tactic not of security for ones nationalist identity but ones nationalist insecurity

look at your skin and rededucate yourselves on you history

would you rather keep on this ignorant discussion of race and nationalismand borders?

[naboba]

we have rules in this country.

thats why your country is controlled by the drug cartels and kill any of you that challenge them. you are lucky to be here... respect it or leave.

[gallomia]

the us needs water cannons like europe. They should set up internships with the polizie

[ukiahcat]

When cops tell you to leave you better damn well leave. If you refuse a cops order then you will be punished for breaking the law. If these mexicans couldn't understand their commands in ENGLISH then leave this country if you can't understand ENGLISH

[ukiahcat]

Police did a good job at getting rid of all these terrorists that cross the border ILLEGALLY. Dont you freaks get it? These people are here ILLEGALLY i don't care if people come here LEGALLY but ILLEGALS broke the law stepping foot on American soil. People who don't see that law being broken are racist and support drug cartels that bring crime into this country. Plus this land didn't belong to Mexicans it belonged to the Native Americans and yes I am a Native American.

[resist626]

wat tribe are you from?

[frankga1234]

This is like Martin Luther King riots at DC!

[ceomeye]

GOD BLESS IMMIGRANTS. FUCK AMERICA!!

[ceomeye]

now that kid will hate cops and will never let his generation to be racist babylon cops.

[bobotea1234]

OWNED!

[mattereich]

First of all im a cop and we dont want to hurt people for no reason cuz its wrong and it puts our life at risk. Seriously we would love to have peace on our streets . Thats why we do our job cuz it stops chaos and brings in peace. There was a possible danger that day for the cops with all those people. There were a bunch of young men causing problems for the cops thats why it started so thenk your friends for making the police so violent!

[2rich2gold]

bet you feel special.get a real job.i defend this country shed blood for this country.put foot to ass for this country.jus to see police officers trying to be soldiers.fucking coward would abuse citizen instead of killng bin laden.fucking coward put your sheild on and kill for our country.i make in a year what you make in years.with a touch of key.but i go if our country call for killin,ccoward.go to iraq-afganastan be a real man.and stop suckin on your moms titty,bitch!be a man!XFROGMAN UHEARD!

[ceomeye]

cops are cowards. Like it was said, they want to feel like they are heroes and soldiers, their assholes with no real hero or solider experience. Not only are these racist cops assholes, they are scared shitless and would have no backbone to fight in IRAQ or elsewhere. They would probably be the first to be shot in combat because their spirit is evil and distorted in Babylon america. I BET THOSE COPS WANTED TO KILL SOMEBODY, THEY ARE BLOODTHIRSTY GOONS WITH NO RESPECT FOR LIFE OR THIER WIFE.

[HalfCash213187]

@ceomeye Thats dumb you know how many cops have been to iraq and afghanistan? quite a few i was over there with them I seen a lot of cops that deployed with me do some brave things. Homeboy wants to stand up against a ilne of cops in riot gear what does he think is gunna happen? a handshake? And just FYI that foo is no kid that is what grown ass guatemalan man looks like. Some cops are pricks but im pretty sure they dont wake up wanting to blast the first lame that talks shit.

[bigbfoot1]

what department are you from

[autogun290]

From what I heard, the crowd began throwing rocks at the police. Thus making it an unlawful assembly. Thus giving the police the right to disperse the crowd. Those who do not comply with the orders to disperse, will have to face the consequences.

[martincruz1988]

people would be screaming bloody murder if this was done in Beverley hills to white ppl

[zenbrenzz]

It's a known fact that the police plant their own cops at protest rallies posing as violent protesters so they can practice their favorite game of abusing civilians.

[gomez0555]

Stupid Beaners

[PunkLooees]

fuck every single mother fucker one of you latino haters...,cuz without Latinos. America aight shit.Period.Get that in ur head....

[AmnestyEqualAnarchy]

and that's why mexico is a world leading country? LOL

[Socalplyr213]

it's making progress son look

who is one of the worlds richest men???

[zenbrenzz]

punk, wait til the US is nuked by Iran and watch these racists running for the Mexican border..and hope they get the same welcome they have extended to hispanics..

[tittyfestival]

search freedom day riot. thats why they beat these tards.

[bhoogren]

The demonstrators had a hard core pre-plan group who actually ran toward the police when normal people dispersed.

The hard cores deliberately would lay down in front of the Police then some were foolish enough to get up and face the police or move toward them so they were put down as that is an attack move no normal person would do.

As you watch these videos look at how the hard core folks set the cops up. Same voices, same drums, same tactics, same camera operator. It was a setup.

[allislogic]

it's a shame that many people still claim racism is no longer among us...however, just watching many of you bigots here only reinforces the reality that not only is it still here, but that you truly believe in your hearts that you are right.

[lees20022]

Who's rascist?? Illegal or legal is about where your born.Not what you are. The USA is not a dumping ground for failings of any country.

[sockupteajay]

i guess you don't know your own history and how the U.S. destroys other countries, which is why people from all over the world end up here. they're called puppet democracies...and if any government doesn't like what the u.s. is telling them to do...then they're called dictators and the u.s. immediately wants to bring in "democracy." doesn't all this just sound so familiar? if it doesn't, then you're just stupid.

[AmnestyEqualAnarchy]

oh yeah these illegal aliens never hold up any signs or yell "Death to the white man" or "GTo home European" do they. Mecha and laraza are just as racist and hate filled as any white power or kkk.

[Cain2able86]

listen to yourself you racist bastards we where all immigrants at some point hell th Irish and Italians where considered the scum of the earth at some point as well as the dutch but hey you fucks just start with your racist rant where is your heart? your is your soul they our humans not property not weapons to be called illegal how can a human be called illegal wtf man?

[AmnestyEqualAnarchy]

those were all LEGAL examples you put forth. "how can a perosn be called illegal?" When they come here or stay without the permission of us. Pretty simple dumbass.

[hoffa88]

all the rascist on this page can kiss america,s fat ass.

[allislogic]

my bad...he's 19.

[lees20022]

illegals have NO RIGHT to protest!!!! that right only belongs to citezens

[molotov01no]

lees20022=you don't know nothing,you are illegal too,so shut up fuck up...!

[molotov01no]

lees20022=you illegal too, don't think like that,whatever you said about mexican people like me!all you comments put it in you ass,europeans are illegals too! yankis are the really ameircans, now this "americans" (fake)like you! is a fucking goverment system.....!

[lees20022]

I was born in Mass...and certainly AM NOT MEXICAN.

100% Grade A United States Born And Raised.

Leave OUR Country...You have not rights here.

[Strummerkid]

Your country of origin, England, is alot further away than their country of origin.

I didnt realise that USA had a grade A. Is that the minority of people who aren't obese in that category? haha, fat cunts.

Get over your country, you stole it anyway. Your border is a sham, your president is an international joke and your country is despised by most of the world - though you probably wouldnt notice being that you're so self obsessed.

[sockupteajay]

your not a citizen so quit lying

[golgo211]

i believe the LAW can kick your @ss if you chose to confront them with violence.... this is exactly what happen out there on may 1st... you throw bottles at cops.. they got the right to shoot ya back with rubber bullets even when they warn you pro illegals alot of time to disperse... next time listen.. and get a permit from the city to protest there..that area was off limits.. and yet ya pro illegals still keep marching in like you have a permit to protest there...

[gaylecothrannn]

**** God Bless America. Let us pray for the city of Los Angeles and the U.S. citizens who have to deal with all the illegal immigrants trying to ruin there home & city. Lastly, I pray for a President who will aggressively deport every last one of YOU law breakers....and dont make no mistake about it, illegally entering our country is AGAINST THE LAW.

[Yankeefresh]

What going to happen to your everyday life, IT WILL COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.. THEY DO THE BULLSHIT WORK NOONE ELSE WANT TO DO..WHAT KIND OF MAIDS DO THE PEOPLE OF CONGRESS OR THE STARS HAVE? ITS ALL A FUCKING JOKE, I COULD ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THE EARLIER AMERICAN INDIANS AND MEXICANS THAT ORIGINATEED FROM THESE COUNTRY WHEN THROUGH???

[Strummerkid]

Send all the whites back to England!

Fucking no good double standard cunts.

[UnklRudi]

He wasn't a man. He was a boy. It was on the news. These assholes ahve just given the LAPD another black eye.. And this one is going to be around for a long time. They fk'd up big time.

[absurdplanet]

These people are protesting because the country they broke into is responding and daring to question their right to be here--nevertheless--they do not respect the rule of law. They demand citizenship when if they waited in line like legal immigrants they might achieve this goal. We are a nation of laws and respect for the law and acceptance of the responsibilities of being a citizen still mean something to Americans. No Amnesty, Build the Wall, Deport all Illegals!

[UnklRudi]

You're right. This is a nation of laws. And the cops that broke those laws are going to pay the price. There are rules for crowd dispersal. They were not observed. The whole world can see that... except for maybe you. And America will ever "deport all illegals" (sheesh) because our entire economy depends on cheap labor. Get real.

[Strummerkid]

These people were getting low pay in their own countries, producing things for ungrateful cunts like you.

Decided that working in such conditions for a privileged bunch of unthankful motherfuckers above the border was not how they wanted to spend their lives.

They came and were GIVEN jobs, they weren't stolen. Now they're still getting worse conditions than you, yet you complain like a toddler. Grow the fuck up. Wake up to what really happens in this world, you simplistic cunt.

[sappho420]

He's confused "supraspd"! The pigs attacked without warning or provocation, YOU WOULD KNOW IF YOU WERE THERE! PIG!!!!!!

[supraspd]

He stands up, and doesn't turn to run like anyone else would have. He stands and faces them in defiance, with confidence. He's an adolescence who just learned a lesson. Welcome to American, learn english and do what the police say. If they look like they're threatening you, GET THE FUCK OUT, DON"T STAND AND ACT LIKE YOU"RE THE SHIT, YOU"LL LOSE

[Strummerkid]

Yeah thats the attitude, do as your told, never question a thing, get a job work till you die, have a couple of kids along the way and see your whole life dissapear in a blue, welcome to America.

Fuck that, fight for what you believe in wether its what the pigs believe or not. Don't take any shit, always stand your ground. When some cunt who thinks he's above you comes to you, at least try to challenge his dellusions.

Man has no right to rule over man.

[spadesponce]

how are you going to knock a child down wait for him to get up and beat him down agian thats just digusting
