[420mtg]

@drewtobin Thank you for posting this ! You seem like a unbiased bystander that happened to live by the incident,,and you even seem to think this was a unacceptable situation as well.. Much Love

[americaHUMVEES]

No doubt cops cross lines sometimes, but do you really expect perfection in a city with 8 million people living in it?

[420mtg]

@americaHUMVEES Perfection is no excuse for excessive force,,please keep that in mind

[bucktown99]

BUCKTOWN 4 LIFE - FUCK THE POLICE

[Budgetbomber]

BUCKTOOOWN!!! PEACE FOR LOS ANGELES!!!

[LATQueens]

Thumbs up if this reminds you of that scene from "Do The Right Thing" where Radio Raheem was fighting with the police.

[Dragracer187]

fuck the cops, shoot them all in the head.

[EWILKES280]

I have seen and experienced my fair share of scum/bag cop mistreatment, false arrest, broken bones at age 17 etc... they even had sex with my now ex wife. They ruined my life. I am 51 and would like to see the people finally start giving back to the cops what they have always given us (PAIN) and much of it! They deserve our Hate!!!

[rawnotion22]

Beware the Beast in the blue crysler

[mavz82]

at 00;56 rock from healtha skeltha is gettin tossed around by faggot cops

[Robbio887]

We should start shooting cops in the head, Thats why Im never going to give up my gun. It take 4 second to kill 2 cops posted in there squad car 2 shoots to the head on each one of them fuck the police. In none of those video I saw black cops or latin cops only white cops be on that racism

[PJACK79]

SMDH

[PJACK79]

It's easy to tell who the cops are on these threads. If you were there and saw NOTHING wrong with what the NYPD did then u wear a uniform. Be serious and take a close look at the video.

[whizkeytangofoxtrot]

@pereiradpg : I have worked in bars with crowds of drunken idiots. There are better ways of dealing with them than this.

[pereiradpg]

people love to dump on the cops, but they never put themselves in their shoes and wonder what it's like to have to deal with unruly crowds full of idiots who are drinking.

[playmaker243]

fuck you prancingdog my cousin got massed in the face so like everyone says fuck the police

[prancingdog]

@playmaker243: Oh poor baby...Did your cousin threaten a cop, refuse to disperse, or was it just because he's a minority? How could I be so crass in thinking your cousin needed to be maced?

Tisk tisk...Those evil cops just want to ruin black people's good times.

HAHAHA Thanks for making my day better by complaining about your cousin getting maced. LOL!

[premo78]

lol Bucktown by Smiff-N-Wessun,

Peace to Tek and Steele from the Buddha blest Budapest :)

[n4sone]

anybody knows what's the track used in this video ? thx!

[prancingdog]

FUCK THE RIOTERS!

You are lying when you say "there was no violence", and "it was a peaceful event". The original officers that were on the scene were making a simple arrest of one individual, and some idiots decided to throw bottles at them, hitting one cop, and cutting his head. They called for backup because the crowd was getting belligerent, and refusing to back away from the lawful arrest. Once the bottle was thrown, the area became a riot, and everyone had to leave. The cops did great!

[EtchedSketch]

@prancingdog fucking dumb shit the guy they were there to arrest had left 10 minutes before they got there... there was no riot whatsoever, just pussies waving their badges and beating women

[prancingdog]

@EtchedSketch: I was there, and saw the guy getting arrested. I saw the cops get hit by flying bottles. I saw several RIOTERS cover their faces (like real "pussies"). I heard numerous "pussies" make threats against the cops from afar. I saw the cops beat the shit out of anyone who dared raise their hands against them.

In short, I was there, and I saw what went down. IN FACT...The several videos showing what happened ALL show the cops dealing with "pussy" rioters very effectively. You fail.

[604kushfields]

IM SORRY NEW YORK BUT VANCOUVER HAD THE GREATEST RIOT OF 2011

[Yesjoo]

F.U.C.K T.H.E  P.O.L.I.C.E

[riftalope]

There you GO! Record, Report and Repeat! More Video of what really went down. I'm calling NPR out on you, NYPD.

[WJZ13]

Perfect song for this video... this is a damn shame... can't really expect anything other than this from COPS... this IS their job to fuck you up and over smgdh

[jrm1750]

Its real simple for you uneducated morons. Listen to the Police and there would be no problems. Unfortunatley the place was overcrowded, tere was a fight inside and the place needed to be closed for everyones safety. So save the ignorant cop-hating rhetoric and get a life. As for "true Hip Hop" sad.......get a job and a real life.

[riftalope]

@jrm1750 Why the mace? Is that going to make things safer? I've seen a concert shut down the right way TWICE. You don't hassle people. The lights come up and a FIREMAN (marshal) talks to whomever has the center mic. Then the band leaves the stage and there's no RUSH. There's also no gaggle of police cars clogging traffic.The first time this happened the manager agreed to send out only the 40 people without seats (refund) and it only delayed things half an hour. Maybe Funk gets a break. IDK.

[carbonphiber]

@jrm1750 hahaha what a joke you are. i love how you went to every video on this issue and made a smarmy comment praising the pigs and degrading the hiphop fans and artists. clearly you live alone in a shitty apartment with your pet cat and have NO friends. snap out of it, just because you're a miserable bag of shit with a sorry ass life, doesn't mean anybody wants to hear your worthless and baseless opinion.

[spinradiofm]

ALL OF YOU need to look at another video of this whole thing. Some UK woman covered it and she got interviews from Beatminerz and Steele (Of Tek & Steele). It WAS a real hip-hop event with NO issues inside and yes, the fight outside and long since been a thing of the past. The news is covering it but they are not showing the whole thing. If you REALLY want to do something about it don't just post comments here. I can tell you first hand Spin Radio FM is going to pursue Justice! Peace.

[420mtg]

@spinradiofm I know this is old news... But SpinradioFM has got my subscription ... KeepItMovin

[wisdom360]

If the people supposedly have any responsibility for this, why in the video do we see a bunch of people just standing around while the cops are running around beating the shit out of people? I don't see anyone going after any cops.

[Bloodsport1]

@wisdom360 because we have been condition to accept whatever happen to us man.

[WaneEnt]

Good Shit TheBatMan

[MrHellothere14]

LONG LIVE PEACE AND ORDER!

[nvlptl]

song? also, fuck the pigs

[IMHipHopNY77]

@nvlptl That's their first single "Bucktwon" from 1995...

[jubei208]

It was not a riot. Let's not spread lies.

[beeblack2]

i was there they was acting like they wanted to fuck up a very good vibe, FUCK POLICE,if this was a lady gaga or drake bs concert they wouldnt act like that, THEY TRYING TO SHUT DOWN true hip hop

[spinradiofm]

@beeblack2 Actually they didn't care about the "true hip-hop" aspect of it. It was about police in NYC creating an atmosphere of chaos. It would have been WORSE if it was DRAKE or whoever. It was about young black youth doing their thing; that isn't welcome on the LES anymore.

[beeblack2]

@spinradiofm you right i can dig that fam, the police was dead wrong

[vandalnyc]

there were no riots, aside from nypd goin' ufc on ROCK and LOUIE. damn this release party was 100% positive vibe til NYPD came out. this is how shit goes down in 3rd world countries. wtf is happenin in manhattan

[vandalnyc]

all i see is pigs!!!!!

[CLIPPERMANLAUGHS]

send any footage you have to ali.headbangamuzik@gmail. Use wetransfer,com

[FIASCO1977]

youhave to understand that most cameras did not pop out until a certain point - no one - vid shows the entire scene. thats impossible. especially not from a (cell phone?) camera from above. it took about 30 minutes to clear the scene - why? becasue most of us out there are friends family and to walk away to watch ur people get beat? thats a hard thing to do my friend.

[FIASCO1977]

i was there. this wasnt a riot. however it wasa lot more than clearing the street. several people were beat down by batons by groups of police. pepper spray was sprayed INTO the club at the event (whic hwas peaceful) because there was a fight outside (the people who were fighting were long since gone before the squad got there) ther ewere several instances of severe brutality. its hard to see from an aerial view -not to mention that this video is 2 minutes long. doesnt show everything

[shamsta19]

NO ONE SHOULDVE BEEN PUSHED BY TE POLICE IN THE FIRST PLACE!! THATS THE POINT, THIS WAS NOT A GATHERING OF THUGS IT WAS A HIP HOP VENUE!!! POLICE GOT OUTTA HAND AND I HOPE, I PRAY SOMEONE PAYS FOR THIS.. LAWSUITS PLZ!! SO GLAD PPL WERE FILMING THIS BULLSHIT

[JuiceJapan]

True instances of police brutality and murder are Oscar Grant, Johnny Gammich, and many, many others. It is a serious issue.  But for people who act like idiots in society and do not pay attention to social issues, crime and politics....they are part of the problem too just like bad police. My opinion.

[Iramos1990]

@JuiceJapan So because they weren't beaten to death it's ok? fuck out of here

[JuiceJapan]

It is also a slick way to promote an album release. I am against real police brutality, but from what i see here I see mainly an over-hyped video. The police needed to clear the street (of that residential area) and they certainly do not know who is holding a weapon and who is not. Unless you were there, you don't know what activities were occuring before the video started. Alot of people today act so hardcore and thuggish and as soon as they get shoved by police, they cry brutality.

[vandalnyc]

@JuiceJapan you have no idea what you're talking about. kinda sad that you said that. i was there. no one was being thuggish except for the NYPD. you fool.

[pusssogood]

@JuiceJapan Yo I love u right now!!! U just said it n both your replies! U hit the nail on the head... People that already hate cops mixed with alcohol mixed with drugs mixed with ignorance... mix with haughtiness and pettiness mix with the pumped up adrenaline of tweaking cops.. u got yourself a recipe of disaster... and mad broke thirsty motherfuckers screaming lawsuit... fiending to sue... I can't wait till all the facts r presented... and they test people's alcohol level and everything else!

[OG2ism]

@JuiceJapan I was there and it was a peaceful event. There was a plethora of hip-hop artists and loyal supporters and there was not one incident of violence. Fortunately for me, I left a few minutes prior to all hell breaking loose. But to state that the abuse was a necessary police action is ridiculous. Using your rational the police should have the right to push and shove people as they see fit, because anyone can be carrying a weapon. Just hope it never happens to you and yours.

[citizenzombie]

This wasn't a riot; This was a peaceful gathering, turned violent, by the NYPD.
