COP15: Police Attack Sound Truck and Assult/Arrest Media at "Stop Means of Production" Demonstration

On December 13, 2009 Activists protesting the climate change conference organized by the UN were "pre-emptively" stopped, arrested and their sound equipment was seized. The Hit the Production non-violent march towards Copenhagen port, which was aiming to underscore the connection of global capital to the underlying climate change talks was charged by the riot police. The march started at 12:00pm and at first the police peacefully escorted the procession. At 1pm the demonstration was blocked, the crowd was surrounded, and police entered the sound car forcefully to shut down the march. Together with about two hundred protesters, journalists and in particular camera people were assaulted and pushed away from the scene. Some of the members of the press were threatened and attacked with pepper spray by the police.

The police did a fantastic job. The stopped 1000 violent demonstraters. On this car the police found weapons, and tools that were use to violent acts.

That's just ridicilous. As you can see here, it's the police that is attacking. If you'd been near Bellacenter, you would have seen it with your own eyes.

And btw, they (we) are angry because the world ISN'T trying to solve the climate issue, the leaders are only trying to find economic systems for profit that could be used for their greenwashing. The leaders are re-colonializing the third world by their policies - so we're angry. Why aren't you?
