OCCUPY MELBOURNE: Riot police clash with protesters

[Ax07605]

Is that private property and if so they were told to leave it's not like you see these guys beating the protesters with Billy clubs and tear gassing them

[renegade48323]

We can't stop the elites all the while we protest in this sort of fashion. Unless we move our train of thought into a level on parr with theirs (the elites), then NOTHING wil get resolved.

Our only solution at the moment, is to -on mass - quit our jobs refuse to turn up to work, refuse to pay taxes, and boycott all media networks as a clear sign that we the people don't play corporate games anymore.

[Chevaposaurus]

"they were asked to move peacefully, or be forcefully removed"... So what's the problem? You've made you're point, now move on!

[magnum13th]

corporate greed isnt even an issue here in australia.

anyone who says it is, is ignorant and does not understand anything about economics or finance in a western society.

fucking hippies. doing nothing to actually help society, just wasting my taxpayers money that is funding the police, as well as the public space they are protesting on

[war3175]

i wish that the cops had kicked shit out of you all you useless pricks.

[microsoftbighard]

200,000 familes are homeless in Australia.

[microsoftbighard]

also 300,000 victorians lost their homes in the global financial crisis, and whats worse is, as some are saying that "it doesn't even effect Australia" so how can we claim Australia has it good as some comments claim.

[microsoftbighard]

Lol good point. Campaign on public property, not private property. public property, which is exactly what the Police had their last campaign on. Follow their example.. They stood in a large group organised and quietly on parliament house steps. Also for those who think these people need a job, the world wide system counts on unemployment, it requires about 4%. Also those who say its Australia not usa, Aus is listen in Washington securities.

[lackattackt54]

FUCKING CHAT CUNTS who dont even understand what their protesting about. They think they are in the same fucking boat as the people on ocupy wall street, but these gimps are on a whole other level and by saying this they are higher. Coperate greed is most common and obvious in america, australia is soo much better off than whats happening in America. PLus these protesters are shit. the American ones are there in full force, here there are like 50 peopel barely doing anything, fucking hipsters!

[kenny222]

I see what they're trying to do with this Occupy thing but let's be honest. They're all jobless, hipster douchebags. Look at how there dressed. This just makes them feel unique and individual and like they're fighting for something when no doubt their parents give them money to live. Get a job assholes.

[ThomasFrantik]

Why didn't you show the police hitting people at random n running in grabbing people n dragging them violently?

[Mrgto85]

Isn't that justin beiber at the end of the video? I swear to god it looks like him..

[Sensirebel]

democracy or demon cracy will not work the best option is to forget poly ticks (many bloodsucking creatures) and the government altogether. remember govern in latin translates to control, ment translates to mind so your mind is being controled with the help of fluoride in your water

[Pineconevolved]

The masses don't make the rules, they don't set the salaries, but they do selfishly look out for them selves, putting small businesses out of work for a cheaper fix, so don't blame the fat cats getting rich off your own ignorance. Start buying local, support your local shops and trades, it is basically what it all boils down to. Ps: all the protesters clothes were made by major companies imported from China.

[Lionheart1188]

@ElectricSexPants No one cares about your negative comment cunt

[Jabikz]

'Clashed' means police beat the shit out of them.

[Realrpg]

Fuck the police, treating their own brothers like trash.

[jennyrotaryexchange1]

if you were asked to leave then you gotta leave. the police attacked for a reason. if you want freedom of speech or to actually change something than do that, form a rally, get signatures, make a short film about the opinions of the public,. but fucking camping on public property, just talking and sitting on their arses is not going to change anything.

[smelmore]

@jennyrotaryexchange1 public property dick head

[DVSGOD010]

stop your pissing and moaning you lazy stoned bums and get of your dumb arses and change things properly instead of just protesting and rioting, fuck sake do you see people in poorest india rioting? NO why! cos they clearly know that it will do FUCK ALL, the only way to change a system is from within. all you dickheads protesting i hope you all get aressted and raped its the least you idiots deserve for not using the brains you were supposed to be born with

[popcan4u]

@DVSGOD010 The Arab Spring is proof that change does not come from within. Your assertion of ppl protesting as being lazy bums in just uninformed and ignorant. Ppl in India did protest against corruption earlier this year. Look up the Anna Hazare movement. Why don't you get off your lazy ass and do a bit of research and analysis before you type this bullshit. Educate yourself on past revolutions while you're at it.

[MacbethMusic]

@popcan4u Well said!

[DVSGOD010]

@popcan4u yes the Arab spring was great if your cool with many people dying, oh and i thought the protests were about screwed economic system and corrupt banks? not about causing anarchy! DUMB-ASS!!!

[popcan4u]

@DVSGOD010 Yes, ppl died in the Arab Spring but it still disproves your notion that change can be brought within. How exactly are these protests causing anarchy? And they ARE protesting a screwed economic system, among other things. You are still the dumbass because you clearly don't know how to have a coherent argument

[smelmore]

@DVSGOD010 yeah what he said

[allads]

@DVSGOD010

Your a moron, this was a protest and not a riot.

[MacbethMusic]

@DVSGOD010 so how do we change the system Mr Smarty pants?

[AnotherNutJob]

Banks own the police.

[AtTheDriveBy]

'we've done no harm to anyone'...the place probably smells so..you have bro.

[Rand0mManic]

Riot police lol very fitting name for them.

Where ever they are they cause a riot.

Now all we need is to be armed by Nato and a few hundred air strikes on Jewliar Butlards national army of despots so we can drag her carcass through the streets.

All zionist sockpuppets, war crazies are posting crap all over the net making us look like psychopathic nut cases. They are not Australians by any means and need to be taken out on the social media war front.

They want the other world to hate us...

[HangProgressives]

Only good communist is a DEAD communist ...Kill'em all Melborne

[Rand0mManic]

@HangProgressives

A police state = Communism. Totally the opposite to what is going on here,

Community paid police with exessive authoritarian powers in order to control people. The very thing you hate you have become. Man you are a total joke and a traitor to sovereign Australians.

A trator you are and a trator you will always be.

[megamaniac76]

Good job Austrailia, if you give these people an inch they will take a mile.

[6988kid]

LOL! Go Aussie Cops!

[planetcave]

The best way to fight the oligarchs is to stop serving them i.e. stop working for them, stop consuming from them and acquire productive assets the way they did. Don't occupy, but abandon and crash the value of their over-inflated assets which are based on nothing but artificially stimulated demand. Start reading all the legislation that you can get your hands on and exploit all the loopholes the way they do. Produce and consume locally, and stop the flood of mass immigration. Fight fire with...

[bozotzo]

Look at the cops enforcing the interests of the 1%. Nothing more useless than a cop.

[GwoodBloodz]

too small need more occupy  Australia ?

[guitariist]

The police are sworn to serve and protect... WHO ARE THEY PROTECTING?!? WHO ARE THEY SERVING?!?!

[Majic490]

That's ok the police just need to get serviced at their local police police protected brothel to vent all their rage- I heard a few were closed down recently so all they had was coke, speed and heroin to get their rocks off. Next time you go out on the town just look for the blue flashing security strobe lights near the clubs this will indicate that the police will be able to service you in prostitutes, drugs and local underworld connections....all will be ok.

[mac198327]

Lmao protester think they were treated bad by police wat wankers go to a third world country and try your shit and see wat happens then you bunch of dum fucks.

[thomaserossi]

I see lots of Rich, Spoiled, White people.

Typical Liberal Fascists.

[footballplayer3210]

I think they should let the Police Officers start shooting the degenerate scum.

[uzimodem]

hope the cops crack leftist vermin skulls. throw em jail where they belong.

[uzimodem]

@RussMaxable I have no idea why you think I would enjoy "BANK RUNS." I do not. I support the stablization of the economic system. you must have me confused with a leftist asshole, of which I am surely not.

[phillisthebarbarian]

scum politicians... YOU WILL LOSE... We are not your GOIME! We are not your cattle... You may have the bombs and cops and guns, but there are billions of us... We will prevail thru peace and non-violent means... even though you fight with clubs, mace and muscle...

[zzz7628]

Sorry to tell you folks, but peacful protesting is going to achieve absolutely nothing. The rich bankers dont care if you want to to camp out in front of their offices, they can just use the back doors instead....

[bozotzo]

@zzz7628 Early days

[smelmore]

@zzz7628 more to interest the ppl who dont look for answers this will acheive attention  fuck their back door

[racer9x]

Good to see the police enforce the trespass order effectively and efficient, with the minimum amount of force needed.

[lumpfish99]

fucking pigs....the same everywhere....corporate protectors dare to call themselves peace officers.
