ITV NEWS REPORTS on G20 Protests 01.04.2009
Anti-capitalist demonstrators have started fires and smashed windows in the City of London.
Police said at least 32 people who gathered in London's financial district for a protest on the eve of the G20 summit were arrested after violent clashes.

Fires broke out on the streets and an effigy of a City banker was set ablaze after riot police hemmed in a group of demonstrators near the Bank of England.

Senior officers have vowed to prosecute a small group of protesters, some wearing bandanas and hoodies, who smashed windows at a Royal Bank of Scotland office.

Smoke bombs were hurled into the building and some protesters entered, with Scotland Yard officers following around 15 minutes later "in support of building security".

Two people were held for aggravated burglary over the raid on the RBS building in Threadneedle Street and two for public order offences.

  • @italianman004 Americans protest more times a year than the UK does in a decade. People die in protests here and even fly to the UK to protest with you. All that happens there is some shield bashing and baton strikes. Try being shot with a 12 gauge shotgun filled with non-lethal ammunition that ironically kills people every year. You want on the soap box then fine, but don't talk shit, because we've fought for our rights a SHIT-TON more than the UK has, that's why you're on CCTV and I'm not.

  • @italianman004 I agree totally... look at what happened in toronto ffs, they looked like they were warding off terrorists or invading some damn country in the gear they had... and there was nothing going on. The peaceful protesters were trapped like mice, and then manhandled and thrown into the ground by up to like 5 officers at a time. its no wonder people just lose it and it turns into a large scale riot. the police provoke it. right now theyre looking into the fact that the cops went to far

  • losers and whiners, just a bunch of people that decided not to learn the rules/look after themselves first and cant handle the consequences.

  • A.C.A.B

    power to the people

    fuck the rich bastard that are exploiting the working class.

    march on comrades

  • VIDEO LIVENS UP AT 2.02 WHEN A WINDOW FINALLY GETS SMASHED!

    Typical British Riot--- Three women stand outside with placards saying "We don't think its a very fair system that the banks were bailed out" while everyone else raids the entire stock out of Dorothy Perkins!!!! lol

  • decision has come in by the CPS that PC. SIMON MARWWOD will not face procecution for the tragic death of IAN TOMLINSON. another establishment cover up for all to see. an absolute disgrace. the fucking dirty slag bags which we call our police have got away with it yet again, as they did with CHARLES DE MENDES. case. nothing has changed since the 70's, the police are still as corrupt,racist,sexist and fireproof.

  • @italianman004 We do protest but in ways that will actually make a difference not violently. We have the tea party who is winning by all accounts getting real people who have never run before elected into office.

  • Capitalism works its socialism that is bad and corrupting our politicians and unions.
