  • you guys don't realize yet that with the fall of ussr there's nothing to prevent US to become next totalitarian state. without external enemy this is just a matter of time before they invent internal ones and get all the power. oh irony

  • No more peaceful protest (period)

  • some of the protesters need to realize they need to bring atleast a can of bear mace or a huge smoke bomb to throw backat em. honestly if when they were all getting their masks ready for the tear gas someone through one of my homemade smoke bombs theyd be on the ground confused as fuck just like us.

  • God, that gear is amazing. They look intimidating just as they should in a situation like this. They showed dominance.

  • The police and the Army should've opened up on them with machine guns, mortars, flamethrowers, cyanide gas, tanks and Apache attack choppers.

  • AP = collaborators / propaganda machine / part of the problem / pro-tyranny

  • Whats this rally about sorry ive not been following im from the UK..?

  • The corporations love when liberals and right wingers are at each others throats. It makes it so easy to steal your money and rule over you as you fight over the few crumbs they throw your way.

  • Liberal idiots. HaHaHa!

  • Officers have every wright to use night sticks, riot shields, and gas. This isn't police brutality.

  • @markis338 Then Citizens should have the same right. 5/19/13 Expect Us

  • I like how these people chant "Our streets"...the streets belong to the taxpayers! not a bunch of whiny, naive, unemployed students and tired old hippys who haven't contributed one red cent to this country.

  • The cops think we are cockroaches!!. Those fucking pigs abuse their powers whenever they get a chance. There is nothing anyone can do about it cuz unless you have a video camera on you (most people dont), its your word against the cops.

  • @TheXzxi You act like you are doing nothing wrong. That's the funny part. I watched it happen, and it's amazing to see how a video gets edited to show a cop knocking over a protester with his bike, but fails to show the same protester just seconds before throwing the guard rail at the cop.

    Amazing how it's never the protesters eh?

  • @Phantompumpkin7

    I did not see the second part.

  • @TheXzxi Not to mention, many states have been abusing their wiretapping laws to make video-taping cops (even in public, and even if you let them know you're recording them) a felony.

  • What a bunch of miscreants, no job to go to so just go to a rally your not invited to.

  • FTC FUCK THE COPS

  • kill the fukkin black bloc !!!!!!

  • A.C.A.B.

  • A.L.A.B.

    All lefts are bastards

  • Look at these people. They are insane.

  • fucking pigs, they'll get theres one day, each at a time. believe in karma! hehe

  • haha i wanna be a cameraman it looks fun

  • They should have obtained a permit to demonstrate and they would have been alright. If you listen to the Police they will not harm/ arrest you. If you do not, then you get what you see here, incidentally, they would not have used force unless SOMETHING happened to get thier attention.... think about that before you make a opinion. Also, they are only after publicity......why were so many cameras there? who advised the Press to be there in such numbers? no doubt it is edited too.

  • I was there with a permit on day four where police made 300+ arrests, and unleashed tear gas, pepper spray, and concussion grenades into a peaceful protest.

  • @gohan1231234 lol peaceful protest.. that is an oxymoron -- a peaceful protest is called a petition

  • @gohan1231234 we believe u...

  • @gohan1231234 The cops should've used machine guns and flamethrowers on the commies.

  • @gohan1231234 Then I guess you should have not been there....

  • "If you listen to the Police they will not harm/ arrest you." Sure! Keep on believing that!

  • Fucking fag ARE AMERICANS THAT FOR THIS clashed with the police is not a real event. IF A REAL RALLY these policemen were already around his neck

    Cowards GRINGA ¡¡

    TO LEARN, SEE THE VIDEO OF MEXICO AND OAXACA ATENCO PLEASE MIREN to learn

  • they hate war but love 50 million abortions

  • if you want to know what is real resistance to invite to view. riot in Atenco and Oaxaca, Mexico. where people are repressed, but wait until the end

    These videos will be very useful if you want to combat wing forces.

    Americans are not cowards

    Pancho Villa said: "I prefer to die standing than to live kneeling"

  • r u against abortion?

    what if the fetus is deformed or the woman was raped?

  • @tpvalley Dude to sum it up they pretty much stir the baby up and kill it i just find that wrong i mean find it in yourself to see that i know you have a point but a life is a life man.

  • @blackmesa10

    actually most abortions here r just 2 tablets, also the body naturally aborts fetuses when deformed usually but sometimes that goes wrong and the baby is carried.

    It is natures way to avoid suffering, in nature the full term deformed babies would just starve to death or be eaten so abortion is better surely?

    the baby is not concious, it is in a sleep like comatosed state.

    remember thalidamide?

    that didnt deform babies it prevented the body misscarrying deformed fetuses.

  • @blackmesa10

    cont.

    so horribly deformed people were born.

    if u believe in god etc then u believe in the after life so preventing misery is benificial to all and that soul will just be born elsewhere.

    u could say any operation is against god but god made us who we r.

  • You are an idiot and a sheep to believe that.

  • dam comunists

  • Dam uneducated ignoramus!!

  • i hate protesters ! go to hell if i see you my gun is out and your dead heheh

  • likewise if we see you with your gun out you're smoked too t(^v^)

  • by the cops right ? i hate cops to and i would kill them to

  • wow so confused, so u hate protesters, and as one who sides with protesters, mrpenguin, would put rounds on target to anyone who would pull a gun on them, smoke you

  • umm ok ????? well i hate both but cops more !

  • if thats a challenge you will lose

  • let me see you vs me with ak47 ? you lose lol

  • i bet you've never even fired a real weapon.

  • yes i have you jackass at my cuz house and this is old why reply to me ? get a life man

  • yeah i do need a life, but your so BAMF cause you've fired an ak47. OMG I JUST REALIZED YOUR THE COOLEST PESRON EVER!!

  • ya i am you smart ass motherfucker and if you want i can go and get it and come to your home you pussy !

  • hmm, threats to my life on the computer. just goes to show how naive and immature you are. please keep talking.

  • no you should just the fuck up i got stuff to do and thats the end of this so good day you fucking kid ! now shut up have a nice life good by

  • but its me with the ak47 heheh

  • Yea I got a couple of AK's. lol

  • to anyone reading this, the reason the police were there was to make sure things were in control, make sure no one was breaking the law, make sure incoming dignitaries were safe, make sure a full scale riot was started, and make sure no one got killed

    that is there purpose in general

  • A lot of this was obviously edited out, and the full picture cannot be seen from one perspective.

    Police cannot organize in such numbers and use such ordnance without a lot of reason and then a lot more authorization.

    If I were there and protesting, I'd have just listened to everything the officers said and moved on.

    If the officers had violated my rights in some way, I'd take it to court.

  • For being fucking war resisters, you guys sure do don't seem afraid to start a street war of your own.

    Love the stupid ass blond - Hey, bitch, 'tis be called Tear Gas. It leaves residue on the skin, and causes the eyes to tear up. Know what happens when the agent comes into contact with liquid?

    mmm, it's great.

    Too bad I wasn't there to just watch. I swear you're all very lucky the police are as restraining as they are. Were up to me, I'd see a beating party commence.

    Yup.

  • we're not interested in a war between states, but a war between classes. "make war, not capital"

  • this is the result of not having radicals. people are too scared to attack and step up to the cops unlike the vietnam days. protests will only be effective if real harsh action is taken

  • wow orangekayak did you just get out of prison??? Next time you are in danger call a crackhead

  • Crackhead probably has more virtue.

  • Which makes them worse!

  • haha stupid protesters

  • I doubt the people protesting in this video have contributed anything positive to the world anyway. Keep them in jail because nobody cares about them.

  • you people are parasites

    Parasite: something that resembles a biological parasite in dependence on something else for existence or support without making a useful or adequate return

  • You can be arrested just for not listening to the police, even if you're with the press. Key here is don't be stupid and start a riot, and if one starts, get out of there and follow the direction of Law Enforcement.

  • Be like us.. or else

  • lak'ech! Looks more like clips from gaza

  • I'm not a big fan of riot police. I was at Fenway park when the police shot and killed a college girl back in 2004. I was only a few feet away.

  • Fuck those protesters!! I bet you most of them don't have jobs.

  • fuck you bitch, go suck dick chennys dick

    stupid american, we need a russian president here, putin is the greatest ever

  • "Respond"? What a fucking load. The police WERE the violence, ALL the video footage shows this. They fired grenades at kids, for fuck's sake.

  • Tear gas? It's called concussive grenades, watch the footage. I've seen all the footage, and you're full of shit. Of-course it WILL happen, that's because you live in a socialist police state where the 'Constitution' is long dead and you have no rights as individuals.

  • And you seem confused, so I'll state it clearly: the police attacked peaceful protests. There's at least a couple of hours of footage on YT that demonstrate this. They attacked whole streets full of peaceful protesters with tear gas and grenades and rubber bullets. Nobody has to decide to do anything but resist, and that is apparently sufficient excuse for attacks illegal detention. It's uninformed individuals like you, with no respect for your own liberties, who will bring fascism to America.

  • Maybe if all the families were DRESSED IN SWIMSUITS, People would see that the ROBOARMY AND THEIR MILITARY WEAPONS LOOK REALLY DAMN SILLY.. wouldnt they?

    Now you know how the people of IRAQ feel.

    Only they were killed to death.

    DEATH IS FOREVER.

    +:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:

  • FUCK THE SYSTEM AND FUCK ELEPHANTS

  • Looks like your democracy is really healthy... oh God.... good luck America.

  • It is healthy! It is because of our consititution that these people are allowed to do stupid things like this. It is because of liberal protesters that the police have to come out and maintian security. It is idiots like this that attack delegate and who don't want freedom of speech but want our world dominated by one ideal, LIBERALISM. Liberalism takes away freedom to choose. Through forced socialism, political correctnes and affirmative action. If you don't live here don't bitch. You fool

  • AMEN brother

  • Hey shithead, just the fact that we actually have a sizable amount of people in our country means that we're going to have some demonstrations like this. No democracy has ever

  • what a fucking description on this video huh. check out who owns the associated press

  • For an "Anti-Capitalist March" I see a lot of expensive video equipment, ell phones, laptops.

    Fight The Rich? You clowns are rich!

  • Every american is rich, we are top %3 in the world.

  • Sorry, but that's absurd. America may be one of the richest nations on the planet, but the distribution of that wealth is also one of the most uneven. As of 2001, the top 1% of households in the US own 33% of all privately held wealth. People die on the streets every day in rich countries.

  • Compared to a lot of countries the USA is rich, but we don't stand for corruption, we work hard and we don't do stupid things to stay in perpetual poverty.

    The rest of the world, if they want to have a similar standard of living should examine what they are doing wrong and fix it.

  • Americans like to think the country stands for justice and freedom and all those high principles, but the engine that runs the nation is big business. The very fact that you CANNOT run for a high-profile political position unless you have millions to fund your campaign means that until some kind of massive overhaul the country will continue to be run by people who have it in their best interests to keep the wheels of capitalism turning, no matter what or who they crush.

  • We do stand for freedom and justice and when you have the right leaders like Thatcher and Blair, so does the UK.

    Tell me how your anarchist buds would make petrol available at virtually every corner 24/7 that everyone enjoys?

    Sorry, big business isn't necessarily bad. How many people to provide jobs for? Who do you help by virtue of working?

    Capitalism is freedom. Free to do the work you like. I'm free to buy great things as a result and no be hostage to central planning.

  • So those leaders represent freedom and justice because they bring you lots of petrol? Where exactly does the justice part come in?

    You aren't free to do the work you like or buy what you like unless you have the money, which a lot of people don't have.

  • jortylbro ,

    "So those leaders represent freedom and justice because they bring you lots of petrol?"

    Go back and read it again, you're absolutely wrong.

    "Where exactly does the justice part come in?"

    You definition of justice isn't justice, it's communism.

    "You aren't free to do the work you like or buy what you like unless you have the money, which a lot of people don't have."

    BS, I work, I earn money, I contribute to charity causes.

    Communism isn't freedon at all.

  • "Go back and read it again, you're absolutely wrong."

    I know that's not what you said, but you implied it in the first two sentences.

    "BS, I work, I earn money, I contribute to charity causes."

    What the hell does that have to do with what I just said? There are a lot of people who work and yet don't have money.

  • "There are a lot of people who work and yet don't have money."

    That's too stupid to answer.

  • Obviously I don't mean that literally you fucking idiot!

  • Don't blame others for your inability to communicate clearly. And wash your mouth out with soap.

  • It was pretty clear what I meant. I use the word 'fuck' when I'm frustrated with people.

  • You were not clear in your statement. That's why the other person didn't understand.

    And every time you say "fuck" it is your confession that you have run out of ideas.

  • What do you mean the other person? You were the one who said what I said was too stupid to answer.

    Actually, I just used fuck to emphasize my frustration. I wasn't trying to come up with any ideas, I was just responding to you. Jesus...

  • You seriously think Thatcher was good for my country? You're a fool. She never stood for freedom or justice. She stood for capitalism, privatisation, fucking outsourcing the jobs of working class Britons.

    Did I say big business was OMGSUPEREVIL? No. I was actually implying that it's amoral. Businesses don't give a crap about providing jobs, as evidenced by the way they'll cut thousands of jobs if it saves them cash.

  • telynmurali,

    What a fool you are. Anarchists don't create jobs. Companies do.

    You're a parasite on society. In the calculus of Karma, you're a net negative, you don't earn the Oxygen you consume.

    You and your "system" will never provide anything for anyone except violenct.

  • American politics has no policies, it's all about these ideas, these dreams, that never get implemented because you fail to outline how. Freedom and justice? You want to stand for justice? Start by giving the Guantanamo Bay prisoners the trials they have a right to. The UK's spinelessness in the face of foreign influence is bad enough; America's civil crimes are just disgusting.

  • GITMO prisoners have no right to a trial. They are not signatories to Geneva and are major violaters of it. You stupisd cow.

    They can be kept until hostilities end and it's not our fault they got captured in what will be a long war.

  • wow. you are so mistaken

  • Are you really that daft? You think it was an "anti-capitalism" march? It was a protest to the war and the fascist activities of the bush administration and possibly soon to be mcbush and failin administration.

  • I thought you were marching because Dad never came around anymore to play catch or take you to the zoo...

  • and mommy was turning tricks on the corner...

  • Right, and I have two gay dads, I eat aborted babies, and hate America.

    /sarcasm

  • no. its not your street. its my street and my city. now get the fuck out.

  • its OUR street, OUR city, OUR constitution. We will exercise our rights.

  • prof that some people knew what was to come but, the other people didn't listen: watch?v=G0NRMNlSuig

  • HAHAHAHAHA Fuckin idiots.

  • get a job. Hippies.

  • The majority of people at protests or active members of society who happen to disagree and exercise their right of free speach.

  • The 60's are over, get a job.

  • hell ya...gas them fuckers....i need to get a suit like that

  • Good Job.

  • this just shows EVERYONE, that America and its citizens are sick of the Republicans!

  • Not just the rebulicans you well meaning idiot.

  • no, it just shows that far left extremists don't like anyone who has moral values

  • rosco stfu!....u say that hiding behind ur computer.

  • these are not protesters - they are criminals

  • Agreed. These people are just being fools. If they wanted to do something PEACEFULLY, then they should work on that. Otherwise they should stop acting like a bunch of babies when, after told to disperse, oh noes!!! tear gas stings my eyes!! Idiots...

  • protesting wrongs of elected criminals is always right, peaceful until unlawfully provoked just another civil liberty violation

  • Stand up!

    Stand up!

    Stand up and fight!

    Nothing is inevitable here!

    We're Americans, and we never give up!

    We never quit!

    We never hide from history. We make history!

    -JOHN S. MCCAIN LAST NIGHT WHILE PROTESTERS WERE BEING HOSED DOWN, GASSED, AND MACED RIGHT UNDER HIS NOSE. SPEAK OUT. SPREAD THE WORD. GOOGLE 19 YR OLD ELLIOT HUGHES' TORTURE IN ST. PAUL PRISON. MCCAIN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS. YES, HE WOULD STOP IT. REMEMBER, HE WENT THROUGH MUCH WORSE IN VIETNAM FOR OVER 5 YEARS.

  • kum-bye-yawn you filthy liberal pieces of shit ! .... but after the tear gas hits I guess its Kum-Bye-WHaaaaaaaaaaaaaa sob,sob,sob

    LMFAO

  • Are all protesters fat and ugly? Every video I look at that's all I see. They are lucky they live in America, if they did that in China they would be killed or in jail for yrs. Liberal FUCKS

  • Now that the WWII generation has left the stage this is what we are left with. A nation condemned to repeat the mistakes of the past.

  • God bless the Saint Paul Police Department for doing such a good job in maintaining order. They handled the situation as professional as they could be handled under the circumstances. Maybe next time these Libs try pulling a stunt like this again they will remember that the saint Paul Police Department doesn't F*&$ around.

  • the soldiers in Iraq are NOT the ones fighting for YOUR freedom. It's the protestor in the streets, taking tear gas, pepper spray, and sometimes worse, standing up to tyranny RIGHT HERE IN THE USA!!! You people need to wake the hell up. I was there at the protest march on monday and I was at the Ron Paul rally. I know for a FACT that most of those people are GOOD AMERICANS! The kind that founded this country. The kind that will die for what is truly RIGHT!

  • geezers need excitement

  • These people marching in the streets in protest of our failing government are American heroes, all of them. God, I wish I could've been there to march together with them! Shame on all of you here who hate the very people marching for your own rights as Americans! SHAME ON YOU!!! Long live the power of the people!!!

  • yeah they're all fucking idiots like you

  • Yes, attacking delegates, flattening tires and destroying public property should be allowed. Idiot. Ya know what I think, if half of them actually had jobs they might not have been there protesting to begin with.

  • They aren't protesters they are vandals criminals...there is a huge difference between peaceful protesters and delinquents.

  • How many of them are vandals and criminals? Do you have proof? A couple of AP photos. Good research!

  • crazy. Im about to go up and take a look at these people.

  • I can't believe...AMERICA has turned into this!

    ......It's all like a bad dream.....That I can't wake up from.....

  • I know...the leftist vermin attacking in mobs....

  • If Obama gets elected, this type of behavior will become normal. Only difference being, you as the civilian will not have the right to protest or march, you'll be under Marxist rule and stripped of your Constitutional rights.

  • Cops moving the trash of society.

  • haha hell yeah

  • HAHAHA 1:54 is classic

  • I know, I love it. I work in Law Enforcement and I have been pepper sprayed and the works, it hurts like hell, and I enjoy every minute of seeing these people burning up from it. If they would pull there heads from there asses and do what the police tell them to begin with, it wouldn't happen. You have the right to protest, yes, but while protesting you also have the responsibility to not destroy property or assault people.

  • how do i apply for riot patrol anyone know?

  • For all those people out there making fun of the protesters...its for that exact reason why we need a democratic president....maybe then will you understand the weight that every life holds in this society.....white, black, purple, woman, protester, or conservative...

  • Here is the problem.....none of the protesters don't even know who is running for president LMAO

  • St. Paul is very proud of the $10,000,000 liability waiver they singed with the RNC for false arrests, police brutality, illegal search and seizure, and Constitutional Rights lawsuits resulting from police and secret service actions in their city.

    What if settlements EXCEEDED $10 million and your city was be accountable?

    When the Republicans lose, they will not remember you, St. Paul -- you and your cops are puppets.

    When your city is broke after all these suits, blame yourselves.

  • Let's make it a point to examin your post exactly one year from now......you and you bunch have zero effect on ANYTHING!!!!

    AND nobody cares about you......I bet you are a spoiled little brat and you never listen to your mommy!!!!

  • They aren't protesters, they are shit-stirrers and attention whores. They are just gonna scare the older generation to get up and vote for a republican president.
