@Lange007 Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.
I hate to take sides without knowing the whole story, but I feel for the police. As a protester you can't throw your hands in the air and play innocent, then still push forward with your body, and I saw this a lot of of them. The police are clearly asking you (and pushing you) to back up and you put your hands up yet still push back with your body.... They are egging it on... It has to be scary being a cop and knowing you're so outnumbered...
all the police are doing here is fueling the fire. It is quite obvious the crowd can take the police at any given moment and for that matter the police should show respect to the protestors that are protecting there children's future.
Thats a scary video, they look out #. I would be thinking what if the crowd started retaliating back? I dont understand why the police dont realize this for their own safety? The only solution is peace, why doesn't everyone understand this? I would quit my job and either join the peace or go home to my family.
I wanted to be a police officer but not now, its suicide. The police are trying to solve something, but it actually looks like their stirring it up and making it worse.
@GoComando2 they will bite if they get attacked, just like everyone else. them fucking cops stop paedo's, rapists, murderers and rioters who damage property and cost the taxpayers a shit ton
Ego causes good men to stand and take bad actions. We need to put our egos aside and talk like humans. We all have children and want the best for them and their futures. That is why we cannot behave like this.

The society we live in seem more confused than knowing, The Police are just like anyone else that gets consumed by the Chaos..... Suits or not, Human Nature seems to be full of violence, whether the aggression is shown through a Loud Voice of with Physical Abuse.... The Best Recation in a Protest Is NO reaction... A Peacful Protest needs no Voices, Just Silence.... To Be There without saying a world or sending out any messeage...
You people make me sick crying because the police got violent with you, they only got violent because you chose to not listen to direct commands to move back.
they should have shouted "this is a place of peace". if you dont want a riot, dont say the word riot!!! say what you want, not what you dont want. come on people
@Raapzaad what are they protesting... the police left all the real protesters alone, I see no picket signs in the vid.. all these people want to do is cause shit, the real protesters are protesting what some of the leaders have done who are coming here. Again I ask what are these people in this video protesting... Protesting for freedom to protest..... lol......
@Baseshocks Actually, it was the opposite. Most of the people arrested were far away from the vandals, and the police were ignoring them. You don't wonder why the police left their cruisers for so long while people smashed and burnt them? They were blocks away arrested people like Nobody in the area designated for protests.
@MrMobyprick they were ordered to pull back. The next day regular folk were pissed so they fought back. P.S when you have 10 or so people rioting and 100 or so cheering them on police do not react unless they have equal or higher numbers in fear of their own lives. One cop on the ground arresting someone its easy for someone else to swing a bat at that cops head, he/she would sometimes need 10-20 other officers protecting them while they make the arrest. continued.
@Baseshocks No, you misunderstood what I was saying. The police were arresting protesters, who weren't breaking the law, blocks away from where the people were rioting. For no reason.
They let the vandals riot, it might have something to do with the RCMP planning it.
Search on Google for 'RCMP infiltrate' and you'll find a story on the CBC site that verifies that they planned and participated in the riot. I'd post the link but apparently I can't.
@MrMobyprick you can not blame the street cops for that too, they are ordered and positioned by the higher ups, the police chief and his staff. Its like moving a military unit, you do not want to send 25 cops to an area where they can get encircled, you must move other units too.
The police might be more inclined to believe the "This is not a riot" sentiments if the people would stop yelling "FORWARD!!" while trying to run over them over. Just saying..
@digitalmyth333 by your logic if i'm a public enemy then you're a whiny subversive who has problems with authority. you need to realize that police at large gatherings such as protests have laws to uphold and order to maintain. They have boundaries for where people can and can't be. Occupy wall street, for example. NYPD is keeping people out of the street as per law, making them go on the sidewalk. and that's somehow a violation of free speech or a form of brutality? People need to grow up.

Guys, it's absolutely clear from this vid that this was a peaceful demonstration that was nearly provoked into a riot BY the cops. A person below said the police were just "pushing back." Well, the tape reveals something TOTALLY different, now doesn't? The TAPE shows the protectors standing peacefully clear of the police, and then said POLICE started to advance and try to push the protesters down the road.
also from what I see is peaceful protester could wear some padding and either rugby soft helmet or bicycle hemets and foot ball shin guards and groin cups as protection against club and stick stricks
fire the first volley of cocktails at this point to stop their attack.i believe in what mlk was saying but at some point you have to turn into malcom x just to survive.
Just because your chanting "this is not a riot" doesn't mean it isnt a riot.... I'm no weather man though. If you push the police line back don't start complaining when they charge.
I've said this on other videos and I'll say it again - the police are shit at crowd control. Time and again, I see cops using overhand strikes to the head, blading with shields and generally poor or illegal tactics. Also, the command element lacks any sort of cohesive control, kettling or pushing crowds into dead ends, which results in injuries to officers and the public. I'd like to point out that any officer without any visible ID is up to no good and should be diciplined.
I'd like to say a big hello to the constables present in this comment section defending the actions of the police. Cuntstables, rather. I work in crowd control and if I did the kind of shit a lot of these police officers do I'd be in jail. But then I wouldn't be privy to the old system of my actions being 'investigated fully' before I'm 'cleared of any wrongdoing,' like the police do. They can straight up kill a man and get away with it these days. Welcome to the future. We were all warned
@warriorofwrestling I work in crowd control and if I did the kind of shit a lot of these police officers do I'd be in jail"
True -- but the odd thing is that if I was a police officer I would do exactly the same thing..( ie beat the shit out of protestors) so it would be highly hypocrital for me to complain
all i see is a bunch of idiots yelling this is not a riot while the police try to get them behind a certain perimeter and disperse them. if they complied no one would have been injured - also, they yell it's not a riot but you can see them kicking and hitting the cops.. irony?
they can say this is not a riot all they want it doesn't mean anything why are they shoving the police what did they think would happen if they felt they had the upper hand?
Watch the video closely. There are people of all age ranges here, old and young. Middle aged men and women who are upset with their government officials and the corruption, of which, they must feel helpless against solving. Many of you think this is humorous, I did at first .. but when you look at the protesters faces and see that they aren't just a bunch of crazy college kids. There are 50 year old women being bashed by police shields - something is wrong with the government. Very wrong.
@MrAKFrost your right man. soon as we question anything in this country, they dont like it. they want us to be nice and quiet, hence the flouride in our water......... a seditive, to keep us calm and abiding.
@kyle9524 I think you mean gunpowder age, as during the medieval ages there were no guns, and rioters would not be shot with arrows, but simply beheaded or hung or beaten.
had to repost people wake up and learn something before its too late I agree we all may need the police at some point in our lives. But lets not forget what the police are here to do. They are public servants and if some of the public wish to protest peacfully to try to bring about positive change in this world then they should be protected not batterd. Im a free human being and as long as im not hurting anyone then i should be free to go about my business unhindered.
A bunch of smirking, college douche bags who were never told "no" by mommy and daddy and so now they have to be hit with batons before they will obey the police.
hmmm, lets think about this logically, there are lots of police in full riot gear with battons drawn moving towards you making it quite clear they want you to move away. Do you A. move towards them to get battoned or do you B. Do as your told and move away?
@acidturkey is that really a serious question? Honestly, thats one of the stupidist questions i've ever heard. Like it or not we all need the police at some point in our lives.
@beninnotts I agree we all may need the police at some point in our lives. But lets not forget what the police are here to do.

"""Police attack crowd chanting "This is not a riot" at G20 Summit """ SO??? what does that mean??? Im gone try that running in a bank and scream this is not a robbery and take the money anyways and when they catch me I say, Hey i told em it was not a robbery roflamo
@kingfreeland wtf is up with you idiots? do you even know what a riot is? this was a peaceful protest. They chant its not a riot because the police have orders from the elite to treat them this way.
if ian never had any experience with the police how would he know they may attack him,its quite funny watching passer bys sometimes when stuff like this is happening because they cant believe it,the american guy that filmed it was traumatised enough to make sure is video got out there to give ian a chance of justice.
No he was trying to get home ,he walked up to the police line and asked if he could get past to go home(he tried 3 or 4 different ways to get home but was turned back every time).the last time he asked they said no and he was walking away from the police with his back towards them and a cop attacked him from behind with his truncheon and killed him.thankfully the police don't carry guns here but even if they did the only excuse to use a gun is in self defence.
yes in hind sight he should gone a different way but that does not give the cops the right to kill him.,likewise if i go on a demo it doesn't give the cops the right to kill me,like the people that the Israelis murdered,they did not want to die tom hurdall was shot in the head for trying to lead some children to safety,that will teach him to try and help Palestinians and it sends a message out to the rest of the world too
policy is the thing.previous(in britain) protests wanted to be peaceful as well but the government did not what people to exercise their democratic rights and so showed them violence, and as many cops have said if you dont want to get hurt ,if you dont want your children to be hurt then stay at home.
This is the protest where they killed a passive passer by who got caught up in the crowd trying to get home.
some of the close up footage was more savage,but the video is important b
No you right wing bastards need a good kicking! Why dont you right wing scum come along and try to fight us anarchists and anti-capitalists next time there is an anti-capitalist demonstration in London!
I see no police brutality in this video. I see large groups of rioters that are swarming around the riot police. A group of those officers were even pinned against a wall by the rioters. Are you people really that idiotic. They push their shields out as a form of self defense, and they are trained to keep a barrier between themselves and the rioters because there have been many officers killed by rioters.
If the police werent there who do you think would be getting hurt? Protestors tasing and beating other protestors? Protestors attacking other protestors with dogs and tear gas?...That wasnt a riot so why are there riot police spoiling for a fight at the slightest hint of a paint can or a bottle thrown (at them again if they werent there?)
Face it Riot police belong at riots not political protests. Hope you're never in a minority group or have a brain and express an opinion not spoon fed to you.
Police are requried at all large gatherings because people act like idiots when they get into groups. People like you believe that they are getting their point across by causing damage to property and screaming at the top of your lungs, but you only hurt your cause. I do have a brain, and I probably use mine more frequently than you use yours. If you had been using your brain, you would've known that you need a permit. You would've also known that you shouldn't attack riot police.
our taxes go towards paying the interest the bank of england charges the government to pay things like schools, police, roads and so on. the sooner people wake up to this con the better.
You clearly know nothing about totalitarianism. This is an example of rioters getting out of hand, refusing to obey the law, and swarming riot police. Did you not notice that the rioters were advancing on the officers? Did you not notice that they had several officers pinned against a wall? Do you even know the training that riot officers go through? Do you know how many officers have been killed because of rioters? Educate yourself before posting mindless garbage.
fact - protesters wanted to protest in bishopsgate and to eventually congregate outside the bank of england which they did. Just because they then got bored and wanted to move elsewhere isnt the police's problem. Other people should be allowed to get on with their day - I wasnt - I work in the city ( i have been made redundant and am just finishing my last few days) and therefore have more reason to protest than most of these idiots and you fuckers stopped me from going to an interview - thanks.
That is exactly why protesters are required to fill out permits and have law enforcement at the gathering. Unfortunately, most of the protestors don't want to remain peaceful or stationary, so they get loud, angry, and agressive. Ironically they seem to always attempt to make the police officers out to be the 'bad guy' when they are simply doing their jobs.
I'm sorry when did the polices job of protecting citizens become beating the crap out of people on behalf of the government?
Oh boohoo theres a bit of paint on my precious bank send in the police, who do you think they're REALLY protecting? people or property? wonder whether they would call this force reasonable if their mothers were protesting...
I can't tell if you are serious or not. I find it fascinating that you get upset when the police interfere and attempt to preven people from breaking the law. The police are there to uphold the law. Those protestors are breaking the law just by being there, and then they further break the law by causing property damage, disobeying officers, and in some cases attacking the officers.
So by your logic collective punishment should rule for the actions of a few? Sweeping statements about a group of people who are all there for different reasons are flawed.
People get far more loud and destructive on a night out. Do we announce a nationwide curfew to prevent that as well? Or would that cause uproar by infringing the rights of the people here claiming that no-one should express an opinion different to the government?
Don't put words in my mouth. You obviously don't even understand what logic is, seeing as how you fail to use it continually. This isn't about punishing groups. It is about an attempt to avoid damage and injury. You have to prevent people from breaking the law. I'm sure you would not approve of someone "tagging" your home and breaking your windows. You also have a habit of using logical fallacies. Those causing destruction on "nights out" are generally punished for doing so.
Protests aren't against the law. The initial fault lies with the police for cracking down both legally by infringing the Human right to freedom of expression and Morally by starting a fight in a heavyhanded way when a simple push forward would have cleared the path without weighing into a bunch of anaemic students with batons and shields.
Porportionate state sanctioned violence is legal under the law, this was disporportionate legally and morally
I never said that protests were against the law. I said that you are required to have a permit. The police aren't at fault. They were doing their job, and those being pushed should have listened to the officers. It is not difficult to receive a permit to protest, but apparently everyone on here wants to act as though it is the most difficult thing in the world. You also fail to realize that morals are relative. Each person has a different set morals.
You dont see any conflict of interest in the fact that to protest you have to register a permit to protest with the very people who have declared london a "no-protest zone" because of "terrorism risks"? Permits to protest were denied for a perfectly legitimate protest on "terrorism" grounds when there have been thousands of protests before without terrorism, its not like terrorism was invented in 2001 so why the big change? if everyones allowed their own moral why the big deal with protesting?
"Unfortunately, most of the protestors don't want to remain peaceful or stationary,"
Dont be a justifying idiot look at the evidence on this website that 99% of protestors aren't violent until the police start attacking. Even if that wasn't some tosh justifying universal beatings for being "loud" it would be out of porportion. And frankly defending yourself from illegal use of force and preventing it being used on others is all citizens (including the police's) job according to Robert Peel.
Perhaps you should actually observe some protests or video footage of protests. You can perform studies to show anything you wish, so that doesn't support your arguement. More often than not, I have seen protesters become violent, the police attempt to respond, and then you have ignorant fools amongst those that initially became violent attacking the police because they don't know what's going on. Usually the police don't attack without a reason.
So what the tea party protestors in america are all inherently violent because they were protesting and thus a police crackdown was justified "just in case" they kicked off?
Curious what the "sub-human protestors" crowd would have said to that.
You continually put words into my mouth. I have never called protestors "sub-human." Also, officers are required at any protest incase a riot breaks out. You can never tell what will happen when people gather in large numbers. Unfortunately, people like you don't really understand why you are required to have law enforcement present, or why you must receive a permit.
No i don't, please do explain why at a peaceful protest with a load of people sitting in tents expressing a dissatisfaction with government policy need 1,000 police to come crashing in with riot equipment? Why DO they need a permit to protest? Thats like asking for permission to complain from the people you are complaining too. if the government was to ban cars you wouldn't want to ask permission from the government who will probably go "no you can't protest...terrorism and stuff you know?"
I don't think you've been listening to a single thing that I've said. You keep running in circles. I've already explained why they need permits. As for your last statement, you are simply being foolish. Stop using logical fallacies, and stop wasting both of our time.
You act as though it is the most difficult thing in the world to get a permit to protest. They are very easy to get, and it takes little time and effort. You also seem to not realize that people were required to receive permits for protesting long before 2001. Protesting is a big deal because people have been unable to behave themselves in the past. For some reason people usually act like animals when they form large groups. They act as if the law doesn't matter.
I love how you talk high and then make sweeping statements of protestors totally ignoring the point of a protest which is to raise awareness and not to cause damage. Oh and Ad Hominem attacks
Ignoring the "well you'd rather" fallacy. I'd rather my home was tagged than a X amount of people were injured for a crime they might or might not have commited in the future. Police protect people not property well at least they used to.
Nights out arent policed by collective beatings in short form.
I haven't ignored the point of a protest, but apparently you choose to ignore the reasons behind requiring permits. I haven't used the "well you'd rather", but you have. I asked you a question. Police are there to enforce the law, not to protect criminals.
I agree with you 100%. I can't believe how many idiotic, ignorant people view this video and then attack the officers. What would you do if you had a swarm of people forcing their way towards you? They even had some of the officers pinned against a wall.
where were all these protest losers when london was bomb, where were all these protesters when radical muslim walk the streets, chanting death to the british, death to the jews, death to the infidels, fucking losers dont know when to fight and when to stay home

The TAPE shows the protectors standing peacefully clear of the police, and then said POLICE started to advance and try to push the protesters down the road.

I've said this on other videos and I'll say it again - the police are shit at crowd control. Time and again, I see cops using overhand strikes to the head, blading with shields and generally poor or illegal tactics. Also, the command element lacks any sort of cohesive control, kettling or pushing crowds into dead ends, which results in injuries to officers and the public. I'd like to point out that any officer without any visible ID is up to no good and should be diciplined.

I work in crowd control and if I did the kind of shit a lot of these police officers do I'd be in jail. But then I wouldn't be privy to the old system of my actions being 'investigated fully' before I'm 'cleared of any wrongdoing,' like the police do. They can straight up kill a man and get away with it these days. Welcome to the future. We were all warned

Watch the video closely. There are people of all age ranges here, old and young. Middle aged men and women who are upset with their government officials and the corruption, of which, they must feel helpless against solving. Many of you think this is humorous, I did at first .. but when you look at the protesters faces and see that they aren't just a bunch of crazy college kids. There are 50 year old women being bashed by police shields - something is wrong with the government. Very wrong.

I see no police brutality in this video. I see large groups of rioters that are swarming around the riot police. A group of those officers were even pinned against a wall by the rioters. Are you people really that idiotic. They push their shields out as a form of self defense, and they are trained to keep a barrier between themselves and the rioters because there have been many officers killed by rioters.

If the police werent there who do you think would be getting hurt? Protestors tasing and beating other protestors?

fact - protesters wanted to protest in bishopsgate and to eventually congregate outside the bank of england which they did.

That is exactly why protesters are required to fill out permits and have law enforcement at the gathering. Unfortunately, most of the protestors don't want to remain peaceful or stationary, so they get loud, angry, and agressive. Ironically they seem to always attempt to make the police officers out to be the 'bad guy' when they are simply doing their jobs.

I can't tell if you are serious or not. I find it fascinating that you get upset when the police interfere and attempt to preven people from breaking the law. The police are there to uphold the law. Those protestors are breaking the law just by being there, and then they further break the law by causing property damage, disobeying officers, and in some cases attacking the officers.
madehero2007 2 years ago
So by your logic collective punishment should rule for the actions of a few? Sweeping statements about a group of people who are all there for different reasons are flawed.
People get far more loud and destructive on a night out. Do we announce a nationwide curfew to prevent that as well? Or would that cause uproar by infringing the rights of the people here claiming that no-one should express an opinion different to the government?
Tomtaroo 2 years ago
Tom:
Don't put words in my mouth. You obviously don't even understand what logic is, seeing as how you fail to use it continually. This isn't about punishing groups. It is about an attempt to avoid damage and injury. You have to prevent people from breaking the law. I'm sure you would not approve of someone "tagging" your home and breaking your windows. You also have a habit of using logical fallacies. Those causing destruction on "nights out" are generally punished for doing so.
madehero2007 2 years ago
Protests aren't against the law. The initial fault lies with the police for cracking down both legally by infringing the Human right to freedom of expression and Morally by starting a fight in a heavyhanded way when a simple push forward would have cleared the path without weighing into a bunch of anaemic students with batons and shields.
Porportionate state sanctioned violence is legal under the law, this was disporportionate legally and morally
Tomtaroo 2 years ago
Tom:
I never said that protests were against the law. I said that you are required to have a permit. The police aren't at fault. They were doing their job, and those being pushed should have listened to the officers. It is not difficult to receive a permit to protest, but apparently everyone on here wants to act as though it is the most difficult thing in the world. You also fail to realize that morals are relative. Each person has a different set morals.
madehero2007 2 years ago
You dont see any conflict of interest in the fact that to protest you have to register a permit to protest with the very people who have declared london a "no-protest zone" because of "terrorism risks"? Permits to protest were denied for a perfectly legitimate protest on "terrorism" grounds when there have been thousands of protests before without terrorism, its not like terrorism was invented in 2001 so why the big change? if everyones allowed their own moral why the big deal with protesting?
Tomtaroo 2 years ago
"Unfortunately, most of the protestors don't want to remain peaceful or stationary,"
Dont be a justifying idiot look at the evidence on this website that 99% of protestors aren't violent until the police start attacking. Even if that wasn't some tosh justifying universal beatings for being "loud" it would be out of porportion. And frankly defending yourself from illegal use of force and preventing it being used on others is all citizens (including the police's) job according to Robert Peel.
Tomtaroo 2 years ago
Tom:
Perhaps you should actually observe some protests or video footage of protests. You can perform studies to show anything you wish, so that doesn't support your arguement. More often than not, I have seen protesters become violent, the police attempt to respond, and then you have ignorant fools amongst those that initially became violent attacking the police because they don't know what's going on. Usually the police don't attack without a reason.

No i don't, please do explain why at a peaceful protest with a load of people sitting in tents expressing a dissatisfaction with government policy need 1,000 police to come crashing in with riot equipment? Why DO they need a permit to protest?

You act as though it is the most difficult thing in the world to get a permit to protest. They are very easy to get, and it takes little time and effort. You also seem to not realize that people were required to receive permits for protesting long before 2001. Protesting is a big deal because people have been unable to behave themselves in the past. For some reason people usually act like animals when they form large groups. They act as if the law doesn't matter.
