  • if you think this is bad, watch how the danish police treat peacefull protesters

  • Fucking Storm Troopers.

  • This just goes to show that they have no respect at all for peaceful demonstrators and that there moto is "The Power of the Gun Shall Prevail"!!...they are also showing that they are actually affraid of peace!!...why is that?...because it is the power of the people!!...of course they are afraid of the power of the people!!...they know we just need to turn our backs on the leaders for there domination to crumble!!...even if it's very difficult with all their agressions, stay focused on PEACE!!

  • Why is it that whenever a woman is in a video, the commenters have to bring up raping her?

  • Deserved what she got, she was non compliant so oh well.

  • strong woman=FAT woman!

  • Strong woman, and brave. Never back down !!!

  • POLICE THROUGH THEM ALL IN JAIL

    TEA PARTY SHOULD BE ILLEGAL NO RTS. NO WARRENTS NO BAIL SAVE ARREST THE LEADERS OF THE TEA PARTY IN SHORT THEY MAY NOT RUN FOR OFFICE IN UR COUNTRY THE COMMUNIST PARTY IS ILLEGAL WELL TO SAVE UR COUNTRY TEA PARTY SHOULD BE MADE ILLEGAL DONT THOSE JERKS KNOW THEY ARE WEAKEN THERE COUNTRY. TO THE POLICE CONSTIBLES KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

  • we need more violent protesters

  • She should have listened to the Police. They were there to keep the peace and she was in their way. She didn't get all of what she deserved.

  • The police were there to keep the peace, huh? Wow that's a fucking riot, no pun intended. Everything at this rally had been peaceful until the fucking pigs showed up and started pushing people around. Keep the peace? LOL. You have a great sense of humor.

  • ha ha she fell and couldn't get up

  • She only wanted two candy bars!!!

  • Fucking police!

  • If she was not following a "LEGAL" order and there is nothing LEGAL about a group of bike riding pigs kicking a citizen off of PUBLIC land.. but IF they were right they should have arrested her NOT torture her with chemicals and hit her with bikes... pushing her back to the ground will make her leave?

  • that shit is so fucked up man. they should not be doing that to that chick. I watch that and it looks like it is some third world country style abuse. Police state scares me.

  • fukkin cops like this make cop killers HEROS!

  • This chick is my new hero.

  • Amen!

  • lol i agree good one

  • sry. i'm on my sister profile-leah

  • Hey. I respect all of your comments and all but could people please stop mentioning rape. it's a very serious thing and it would be great if you could use other comparisons. Thank you.  Leah

  • were these guys even charged?

    oh, no, right. it's america. the nation of truth and justice

    cough

  • Good dumb fat cunt!

  • What the hell is this ?!

  • hippie

  • you see the laser sights at 0:13 which means that bitch almost got tasered. that would have been a lawsuit for sure.

  • What are you, racist?

    Fucking faggot.

  • What are you, German?

  • how would that help our gov.?

  • what pussy cops we have when they have to blantenly assult a peaceful, unarmed woman... No one should be punished in anyway for excercising their rights to FREEDOM OF SPEECH...

    the DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE needs to put their bitches in check & educate these corrupt cops to behave better than this bullshit

  • isnt ASSAULT a crime? she shouldve called the...uh, wait...hmmmmmmm.

  • lol, sad

  • Cops are some major assholes... I'm sure they could have just escorted her away and if what she was doing was such a huge deal that they had to use that kind of force they could have just arrested her... This kind of force is only justified when someone is actually getting all up in their face and seems harmful. Cops love easy targets stupid asses.

  • I dont see what the cops did wrong. The hippy was in violation of the law and was given opportunity to clear the area. It wasnt harmed by the bikes. It wasnt killed by OC. It wanted a confrontation and it got one.

  • I live in St. Paul and I am totally discusted. If this is not a statement on how and where our country is going..I dont know what is. Freedom is no longer part of this country..and if you think it is...your living in a box.

  • this is fucked up on so many levels. i cant believe that they just start hitting people with bikes. they're the police, not fuckin nazis!

  • Simple Question to my fellow American Citizens: Who do you identify with? The "peace officers" using their bikes as battering rams while spraying her directly in the face with OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) pepper spray (which causes temporary blindness and restricted breathing up to 45 minutes) or the protester exercising what's left of her right to peaceful protest? I know which side I am on... and I am not as young, nor idealist, nor passive. See you at the barricades. No Justice - No Peace.

  • since wen are there so many bike riot police

  • i love u

  • Would you do the same?

  • What a dumb bitch, if the police give you an order and you just stand there she deserves what she got.

    I bet she'd parade around a rapist's house naked and not expect to get raped.

  • you are an evil fucker. really. you are a completely evil fucker.

  • Muhahah, ofc I am, i'm also and elitist asshole, if you couldn't tell.

  • @nigelparry Actually that was a bad example, there is no way in hell anyone would rape that whale. Man the harpoons!

  • @Twiggles02 lol

  • @Twiggles02 and that nullifies the rapist's wrongdoing?

  • @Twiggles02

    Yep, be a good little citizen.

  • She's not going for a free ride you assholes, she was putting her hands up so that they would arrest her but they just kept spraying. She wasn't going to leave, because there is a thing called free speech and civil disobedience. Haven't you ever heard of Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., what about the sit-ins during the civil rights movement? That's called civil disobedience. You people need an education!

  • I think she was asking the police if they had two candy bars.

  • lol

  • ew, i'm way pickier than that!

  • She should've just kept walking like everyone else was smart enough to do.

  • who r u?

  • the crazy thing is is that i know this person... she is so hilarious... i just don't know what she was doing!

  • Making you just another free loader.loose some weight and get a real paying job.

    It makes you no different than the illegals. Living your life sueing people for a living.

    If your not sueing, pay your fines(if any) and learn from your mistake.

  • It'll be you next mate.

    I just heard that they raided the Indymedia space again a couple of days ago. They're making a documentary about the police and protesters. Independent journalists editing film taken in public spaces in the USA. Raided. After the RNC has safely left town. Wake up prick.

  • Because crap like this:

    "arrested, harassed, or brutalized by the police/military this week? come to a meeting get updates, learn about legal options on how to get free money from the governmet, with law suits"

    As i said people are damn lazy and want a free ride. i say put them all in prison then after 5 years send them all to Iran.

  • i'm not suing and I'm not being fined. I'm happy, I don't need to lose weight b/c you don't like it.

  • hi, I'm Leah, can you please stop it with the weight bullshit b/c that has nothing to do with anything. And the people who don't like me, please tell me specifically why you have such issues with someone you don't even know so that I can understand your view point and to understand why you are paying so much attention to me, even though i supposedly did this for the cameras.

  • LOL your the 4th person to say they are Lehi, just that your Lehi has a 19 at the end.

    or are you big enough to be 4 different people?

    And if so. Yes it's what you wanted. to get on TV, people have done dumber things just to get on TV. Or are you dumb enough to thing any cop cares about your cause or any of the people you wanted the message to cares.Guess you found out the hard way.Then you could have don't it just for the b/s law suits. Making you just a bigger part of the countries problem.

  • This is exactly why I hate police.

    They can do whatever they want and get away with it.

    What threat did this overweight, out of shape female pose to these young armed, muscled, cops?

    Was she offering them cheeseburgers when they are obviously vegans?

    This should have been playing on MSM the next day - but oh no it couldn't be found.

    This is AMERICA on Bush-CHeney and soon to be AMERICA on MCCAIN PALIN as they are no better than their predecessors.

  • No but if she would have held up a box of krispy kremes, they would have onpened up a hole in the line and let her pass.

    But from the size of that ASS she needs to lay off the krispy kremes.

    Who makes those pants? The same people that make theones for Big Tex, at the Texas State Fair?

    But anyway, she got what she went for, a chance to get on Youtube.

  • somebody has a small dick

  • in Korea, 2008.05, universty student girl was fallen down and kicked her head by police-military-shoes.

    So..its some hard for me to call.."Lucky" or "Sad"..!!

  • Their job is to arrest anyone in violation of the law, not beat them into submission when they show no resistance. They simply had to take her hands and handcuff her. Come on, you know they don't have orders to continue hitting her with bikes when she's already on the ground.

  • Show now resistance? She was standing in their way and wouldn't move.

    If you look at all riots when the riot police are called out, they arrest some, but others get beaten back. Now, this situation it was only this woman so yes, I can see where they should have just arrested her instead of pushing her, because obviously she wasn't listening to their orders OR pushing.

  • If those same policemen were ordered to drive you out of your house and your family you'd be fine with that right? After all they'd only be doing their job. You're full of shit.

  • If they had a good reason, aka evacuation, I would have to be fine with it. Illegally for no reason? I would not be fine with it. This lady was in the way, wouldn't move, wouldn't listen to the police, so she got consequences handed to her LEGALLY. *shrug*

  • They were being excessive and knowing the police probably got a great deal of sadistic enjoyment out of it. Anyway, LEGALLY? Wow, in capital words too, very important looking. I guess that ends it all then because the law has the final word on everything, because the law is always right isn't it? That argument just doesn't cut it.

  • how discusting!!!!!!!!

  • You can see the laser cross her chest at :13 to :14.

  • What a bunch of fascist dickheads. Man, I can't wait for McCain/Palin to win in November so that we can finally complete our transformation into a nazi police state!! Why is this shit even tolerated? And what's with you retards on this board that support such behavior? I mean, hitting a chubby girl with your bicycle while she's blinded by pepper spray? And flashing peace signs? Because you disagree with what she's doing or what she stands for? Fucking PIGS. God fuck you all.

  • Her sister said she should be doing an interview with Fox news today! So we'll get more of the story.

  • theres an article about her, and another longer video from another angle go to malarkynews (dot) com

  • thanks, keep on reading you'll find the the permit to protest was up at 5pm.

    "The permit to protest expired at 5pm. Leading up to that day the organizers had appealed to the city over and over to have it extended"

    "Organizers on bullhorns announced that regardless of the status of the permits that we were going to march, towards the Xcel, as far as we could go fuck the law we don't need need a permit"

    Protesters that break the law should be beat and jailed.

  • Thanks for this, I added it to the info.

  • Everyone moved away but her, and they couldn't allow her to stand pat or it would invite the rest of the crowd to join her.

  • People think in such a myopic and short term fashion.

    They just invited the whole world to join her.

  • To me you're either a patriot or a loyalist. Patriots stand up for what they believe in. Loyalist go with the government. Bud you're ilk would have been a frickin' Red Coat .. what a traitor.

  • what a fucking idiot, she should have had her ass tazed

  • Actually, she had her ass shot with paintguns. Or rather a riot officer's equivalent to a paintgun.

  • She's a brave person--a true hero fighting against tyranny on the frontlines in the passive disobedience style of Ghandi.

    She doesn't lose her cool like most of us would but continues to resist when drenched with pepper spray and while being physically attacked by the cowardly cops weilding their bicycles as weapons.

    She deserves a Patriot's Medal of Honor.

  • Leah, you rock. I love you too.

  • what the fuck! the bright side is that it was actually shown on CNN. Local news did a whoreshit job of covering the protests.

    Nopiluvin: you sound dense. The police are to serve and protect, who exactly are they protecting here, not the people.

  • i guess it won't let me post a link, but go to malarkynews (dotcom) and its the first story

  • here's an article written about her...it has a link to another longer video as well...what they did to her in this 45 second clip isn't even the half of it...

  • I'm completely distraught from watching this. She's such a strong person. Even in civics class, junior year, she stood up for a few issues and debated against just about the entire class. I can not believe this happened to her, she's such a survivor...

  • Fun fact:

    I know this girl. She was doing nothing wrong. She's one of the coolest people I know.

    Fuck you all who think she deserved it. She didn't.

  • Hear hear.

  • Don't listen to the haters. They're just scared because they know their hold on the country is slipping. Sad really. All they can do now is moan and bitch and spout their verbal vomit on youtube. They've failed at everything else. Tell Leah that everyone with a shred of decency in their bones supports her and think she rocks!

  • And by the way, she got an AWESOME pair of sweatpants from the police station she was taken too. I'm totally stealing them ;D

  • For the record, she was a peaceful protester. I'm not sure if she broke any laws, as I don't have that whole story of if she was crossing the boundaries or what, but she wasn't out to harm anyone. She's a very strong, VERY compassionate woman that just wanted to express her opinions to the war. They treated her completely unfairly. They could have easily came up and tied her hands together, she wouldn't have fought it. They had no right to treat her like that.

  • OMG! Gah, this is sorta hilarious. I'm Stephanie and I'm actually close friends with the girl in the video. I'm not going to say her name in case she doesn't approve of it, but she's 18 and lives in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. She was visiting her sister in St. Paul, made some friends, then went to this protest.

  • You're right, she was protesting, not rioting like some of the others. However, when the rioting IS going on, EVERYBODY at the scene is included. There are too many people there and there is too much chaos for the police to walk around and say, "You're only protesting, so we'll walk around you so we can clear out the ones doing property damage over there". Negative. They're going to treat everybody equally, and when they start telling people to move and to clear out, they should listen.

  • lol fat bitch got what she deserved. move when i tell you to move Beeeyatch!!!111one....one.

  • =) Agree. They should have locked her up for the night. That will show her!

  • While we're arguing elsewhere, I would agree with you that (if she was breaking the law, and I believe she may have been) she should indeed have been locked up for the night.

    She should not, however, have been hit with and then run over by bicycles, pushed to the ground, and maced as she was fleeing. That is how criminals proceed.

    If committing a crime, she should have been arrested, cuffed, and jailed. That is how law enforcement should proceed.

  • The bicycles might be a little much but that's what they were using instead of pushing her with hands. If there was to be pushing. Where would the bikes go? She did fall at her own will though. Watch it. It's obvious she did. No one through a stick in front of her or tripped her. She was to busy giving the peace signs and making herself look like a ragdoll getting "roughed up" by law enforcement. She should of been detained and sat in a jail cell for the night.

  • are you kidding? one of the police officer's in yellow clearly pushed her down.

  • Why would they knock her down when they are trying to get her out of the way? Think about it...

  • The cop pushed her and she fell down = the cop pushed her down.

  • Don't be stupid and try to get around the law like other idiots would. The cops didn't intetionally push her to the ground. They simply pushed her forward to move her out of the way. They had no intentions of laying her out onto the ground. Was self inflicted.

  • It's amazing what people won't see if they don't want to, even if it's right in front of their eyes.

    That's why you can see the bike cop at the end pushing her back onto the ground repeatedly.

  • you are stupid if you are trying to deny that the police acted out of line. if she refused to leave they should have arrested her, not beat her with their bikes, mace her continously, knock her down, then beat and mace her some more for being on the ground. she was no threat to their safety and they should not have treated her like she was one.

  • it's not like rape is murder

  • So they were going to continue to push her until they got her out of the way and where she should be? Right, they have all the patience for that. Besides, they had to arrest her for not standing down to an officer. They should have just arrested her, not shower her in mace. <_<

  • The main objective was for them to back down and move to a different location. It was clear they were moving that way and MOST of the people followed directions but this ignorant lady that thinks her voice will be heard and she definetly stepped outa line. She was maced because it's legal for them to do that to her. If you put yourself into a law enforcements shoes and had some idiot trying to prove something to you but your orders said different. You would do the same. She deserved all that!

  • It is not legal for them to beat her with bikes without reason that she may cause harm to them or others. (If they wanted to arrest her, they could have easily bind her hands and whisk her away) People are always going to 'prove something' to law enforcement. That's their job, to keep the situation under control. She was clearly not on some psychotic rampage, and they didn't control the situation correctly.

  • That is the law enforcements weapon. They could not lay the bike down. IF they woulda done so. Would have resulted in arrest. They didn't want that. They wanted her to just move. She wouldn't, so she suffers the consequences. Simple as that. No way around it. Because they pushed her with the bike doesn't make it harsh or over the top. Simple strategy learned from basic training.

  • We dont have to go there because the US is becoming one of those places. I'm guessing you're a neocon yet you don't value FREEDOM and the rights guaranteed to you within the constitution. Wake up, foreign countries and "terrorists" aren't the biggest threat to freedom... The government is when they impede on your rights!

  • And if these officers want to practice law enforcement in this matter, then they can do the same. There they won't be bothered with that pesky Bill of Rights or other troublesome laws against police brutality. This is America, not China. Love it or leave it pigs.

  • pull your head out of your ass. she was told to move and she refused. the bill of rights doesnt give you the right to do whatever you want. i love seeing protesters getting the shit kicked out of them. why dont conservatives protest??? because we fucking work for a living. we dont have time to protest. liberal douchebags!!!!!!!!!!!

  • LOL. I love it when right wing retards tell me to, "Get a jurb!" when I'm out protesting on a Saturday. Conservatives don't protest because they don't give a shit about anything but themselves. And if you're wondering why you guys just got fucking creamed and will likely be a wandering minorty party for many years to come, look no further than this video and your reaction to it. People are tired of the brutality, the stupidity, and the ignorance that you represent.

  • dont you worry. we'll be back. and remember now, turds like you had control of congress for 40 years, you moved literally trillions of dollars from the producers of wealth to the non-producers of wealth. and at the end of that 40% you still had the same percentage of people living in poverty. your ideas wont work. they never have in the past.

  • downtownhound, couldn't have put it any better myself.

  • republicans don't worl! they exp;oit the working class paying shit wages and few if any benifits while the CEOs live in mansions!

    then expect taxpayers to bail them out! we should line all the republicans against the wall and shoot them! assholes like you are why we are at war! take TOUR sorry ass over to the recruiter and sign up asshole!

  • bring it on you fascist pig

  • You are a baby killer and a communist and a socialist. You fascist communist socialist pig. Go to europe if you dont like capitolism. Why dont you try serving your country instead of making it more shitty you communist peice of trash. You pussy commy repubs should be shot and if you dont like that go to europe you socialist.

  • @qualityrkc

    That is by far the most incoherent, retarded thing I've ever heard on youtube, and that's saying a lot.

    L2 Make sense, noob.

  • @qualityrkc dude... what did you just say? No, seriously, that made no sense. "pussy commy repub" indicates a complete lack of political history awareness.

  • she is not rioting you idiot.

  • yes she is, by being in the street she is blocking traffic thus violating the law

  • being in the streest is rioting? I think you are losing it...

  • so why don't the arrest her ? instead they spray here with massive amounts of mace and hit her with bicycle tires is this standard operating procedure? Looks like the world once again is becoming a Modern Orwellian Nazi police State

  • Anyone who thinks this is anything but an unnecessary use of force should check their humanity.

  • Hit her, mace her, and knock her down. Then hit her and mace her some more for not getting up.

  • This girl deserved everything she got. Was given strict orders from the police to back up and remove herself from the premisis. Did she? No. She got what was coming to her. Police brutality doesn't seem so brutal when you just abide by the law.

  • You'll make a great customs agent. They have a well-earned reputation for being humorless, fascistic, arrogant dickheads who little or no imagination or creativity. Seems to me like you'll blend right in.

  • I do not agree with Leah's choice of actions, but neither was the matter handled well by the police. There is blame enough for both sides. What upsets me more are the rude personal comments aimed at Leah in this thread that have nothing to do with the situation.

  • Damnit im glad they pushed her, did you see how she hit the ground with her hands when she was getting to get back up..... thats upsetting the ground didnt do anything cmon. The ground didnt deserve that

  • The single most disgusting display by the 'law' I have witnessed.

  • No. No it wasn't.

  • Somehow this person 'knows' what it is I have witnessed, and how I have reacted to it, Hmmm?

  • That makes no sense. Please. Before posting a message trying to back yourself up, proof read it making sure it's valid and makes sense. Thanks. =)

  • While this is tiresome, I'd be remiss if I didn't help you with your (lack of) reading comprehension skills.

    My original comment stated "The single most disgusting display by the law "I" have witnessed"

    You, in turn responded "No it wasn't".

    This implies that you know all that "I" have witnessed, and additionally, how "I" feel about all of those things.

    This is obviously not that case. Where again, was I in error?

  • Oh my bad. I was thinking it was about another comment I did. Sorry about that. Just look up the Rodney King incident. Watch that. And then maybe you will kinda agree with me. Again, I understand completely just got you mixed up with another person. My B. =)

  • she has balls....balls that "we" ann need to have....

  • No! Everyone got soooo pissed off over the non-event of HongKong "reporters" setting up and PROVOKING BEIJING SECURITY POLICE during the early days of the Olympics! These bruise boys LOOK LIKE NAZI-POLIZEI-GESTOPO, ACT LIKE NAZI POLIZEI GESTAPO,& UNACCOUNTABLE LIKE NAZI POLIZEI GESTAPO!!! They are the elite members of the American Reich which did not follow in the footsteps of Nazi Germany, but took THE FAST LANE, ON THEIR AUTOBAHN,DOWN THE SAME STUPID AND ABUSIVE POLICE/MILITARIST ROAD TO HELL

  • She was standing there saying "you do not have to do this I love you" and then was assaulted. She was not rioting she was protesting. Stop being such a ignorant dumbass and open your eyes.All our constitutional rights are being violated and the only people in this video breaking the law here are the police and they should be charged and jailed.

  • And since you are a cop, you should know that what your fellow pigs were doing there was called battery and assault.

  • Battery and assault? Give me a break. The girl was given strict orders to back up. She was warned multiple times. All she did this for was to get publicity. Look, It worked. The police officers have the right to retain her and bring her to jail for not following strict orders. Battery and Assault. Give me a break.

  • Thank you frequentfriar19. I am a Criminal Justice major and plan on either falling into the law enforcement agency or US Customs. Atleast we both understand what's really happening here. =)

  • Wow, talk about some heartless bastards here. Nopiluvin, do you honestly have a soul? Sure she was warned, but was that much force necessary? No. Yes, the police had the right to detain her, they did not have the right to harm her in the way they did, warnings or not.

    As for the spot in US Customs, you'd be great, as they were dicks to me when I returned to the country.

    And the remarks at her weight? What are you, in jr. high? Grow up before you post replies on serious matters.

  • I was not referring to you, there were not enough characters remaining to state otherwise. Serious people? Then why would they be giving crap? That's childish and abuse of one's position. She deserved nothing for expressing her point of view. Clearly you just don't have enough spine to stand up enough for something you believe or else you wouldn't think in such a way. Again fitting for someone who takes out their frustration on travelers by trying to fighten them senseless.

  • Yeah, well fuck you officer. Your fellow pigs in this video, I won't even call them officers because they aren't deserving of the title, could have "cleared the streets" here without the beating that was administered. You cops need to grow up and stop being fascists to people that protest or commit civil disobedience.

  • Maybe you could hand your house keys to the last Native American you see on the way to the airport.

    Better option than you remaining in a country whose founding documents do not agree with your really quite fascist belief that people who disagree with you should go and live somewhere else.

  • shut your man pleaser

  • St. Paul police are pussys, they cant beat there wife at home legally so they take it out on this girl.

  • >:D HEHEH! Make love not war? or Fight fire with fire?

  • Just sitting here with baited breath waiting for the inevitable comments about how this sister deserved it, from the vocal redneck mentality that governs American politics and discourse these days.

    They did this stuff to journalists, legal observers, and residents of the city during the week they turned the capitol of Minnesota into a police state so the Republicans could have a big wank about abortion, Alaskan oil, and the "soccer mom" VP who once voted against equal pay for women...
