[workergirls]

IMF is a simply International Bank Robbery that works for buch of idiot elites and helps them to live in more luxuries...

[pete5668]

[blackmesa10]

@pete5668 Oh lol still laughing at are gas prices and the state of are country

[VD420herpes]

@samatention Self defence huh? not what I saw. Too many people being pushed and violently shoved into too small of an area, not enough room and the fucking cop FELL! You can hear people saying be careful and to help him up. The cops got scared.

[zebra334]

pepper spray at the end

[thedrunkpreacher]

They got what they deserve, move on.

[VD420herpes]

@thedrunkpreacher Are you talking about the protesters? Listen you selfish, ignorant little person, I'm positive you have NO IDEA the kind of things that IMF and World bank do, you should be happy there are still people strong enough to protest today! They were pushing too many people back to the sidewalk,there wasn't enough room and a cop fell, so they deserved to get pepper sprayed? Grow up and turn off your TV.

[VD420herpes]

@thedrunkpreacher If you're talking about the protesters, you need to turn off your TV, and show some respect to the only people who are willing to actually DO SOMETHING to keep our rights and freedoms alive. I'm sure you have no idea what the World Bank and IMF do (or you wouldn't have said that), so go do some research, see what your country is into....by the way there's too many people,not enough room, the cop fell and the other cops got scared.

[WhatCanIsay100]

This is bullshit the police are the bad people...

[ANGLEBOOT]

Thank you,

See people this is one of the spoiled brat I spoke of. From a baby till today this one is still stuck on the tit.

as long as mom and dad are willing to pay his way, he'll be willing ti live off them.

it's not you tax dollars, it's your parents taxs dollars. get out on you own than you can whine about were your tax dollars are being spent.

[PlasticJesus341]

haha I didn't mind really (probably because i didn't get hurt) but the reason there wasn't a large turnout? Well there are a number I can think of, but from my understanding the anti-war movement kind of enveloped the anti-imf world bank wto movement. We were happy to get the numbers we did and I think that this actually signals a revival of this movement, so be optimistic not pessimistic about this movement right now

[Deadcat323]

True. I myself was leaning towards being a socialist. But I'm starting to realize anarchists are given a bad name (like lots of good things that are against capitalism) and it is definitely beginning to touch my heart.

[ANGLEBOOT]

anarchists are no more than spoiled brats that don't like being told what to do, even by their own parents. Grew up laying in the floor kicking their feet because they were told to eat their green beans.

socialist are those same spoiled brats that are to damn lazy to work and that the world should pay their way through life.

[JamesDisasterPunx]

anarchists actually love their green beans.

[foundapeanut17]

Alright, I'm against both the IMF World Bank and police brutality as the next person, but that doesn't make it any less idiotic that these people started chanting "fuck the police." I mean, you harass most people and they'll lash out back--these people just happened to be wearing cop uniforms.

I'm not saying it was right--I'm just saying that it was a no brainer what kind of reactions that would draw, ie. no shit people got maced.

[Deadcat323]

Those were just words, chants they have heard hundreds of times. No excuse for violence at all. There's another video on here somewhere where it clearly shows that a cop fell down and they started macing where it wasn't needed.

[PlasticJesus341]

hehe i'm in there, in the blue shirt getting pushed onto that cop car at the beginning

[SilentSyren]

Ah-HA! See, when they said the cop got sprayed by the protestors? BULLSHIT. He was sprayed at 3:04 by the other officer behind him.

Morons.

And the one guy tripped, it's his own fault for starting this crap.

[HowBoutUhpssh]

The crowd was clearly getting out of control and not responding to the cops' requests that they back up. You can't claim to be innocent victims when you are wearing hoods and masks over your faces. I've been to protests; if you don't fuck with the cops so much they won't respond that way.

[ANGLEBOOT]

That's right. They dress like terrorist, they are to be treated as terrorist.

I say round them up and waterboard everyone of them.

[Deadcat323]

ignorant much?

judgemental much?

[DeadGeneration]

Seeing as the video starts off with the police pushing people how can you tell the crowd was out of control?

[jd3938]

your a very smart person...god speed

[zoomer33]

where was this?

[Racingfeet21]

at around 1:30... wow that cop probably can't pass his PT test... he needs to lose some weight
