Cop (or Guard) Pepperspraying Peaceful People Miami FTAA 2003

From the time of the Free Trade Area of the Americas protest in Miami, November 2003. You see guards (police?) terrorizing people walking on the sidewalk (who aren't even protesters) by spraying caustic chemicals in their faces. This video is not by me, I may have found it on indymedia.

YOur an idiot, yo were where you werent suppose to be. ANd were told to leave. SO LEAVE tehre was no assault in that video except for your resisting

maiku1434 - First of all, the guard sprayed someone who was trying to get home. You would have recognized that if you'd actually paid attention. Second of all, the sidewalk is public property. Thirdly, the guy (not me--again you didn't pay attention) wasn't exactly resisting. He did nothing to merit the guard's attack.

What country do you live in?

No, wasn't by me (I changed the descrip to clarify). I've been around tear gas though.

I understand your frustration completely, Ahippi. However, I must respectfully disagree and say that all Americans, no matter how 'dumbed down', do deserve their freedom. It is guaranteed to them by the US Constitution. "We" need to start defending the Constitution and aggressively prosecuting those who disrespect it.

I was at these protests.I am a republican and in favor of law and order.What happened in Miami was a crime.People have the right to gather and speak their mind.That is what I thought this country is about.Freedom to express your views and assemble?That was thrown out and trampled on.The police went way overboard and should be prosecuted for their criminal behavior.Although there were some protestors that instigated violence,that is no excuse to go around beating groups of people indiscrimantly.

Keep filming these evil gangster cops! If the new world order doesn't win then these sorry bastards will pay!

[kyle08nyc]

That's what you deserve-all of you dumb brainwashed morons for defending police and taking pictures with cops!

PAPPER SPRAY STILL

will not teach you constitution and how to not to engage in endless analyzing of Police Brutality.

When they put your to sleep like they do with homeless people then some of you morons will learn about what is the purpouse of police system in USA.

Concentration Camps,

Killing of homeless,

Swat death teams

ALL OF THIS WILL TEACH YOU ABOUT POLICE!

This bullshit nevers happens in Switzerland becouse by law everyone keeps a real selective fire assault rifle at home.

[jemusser]

Victims need to start filing law suits against the officers that behave this way. Put this tape in front of a jury.

[oscarbeenit]

There were only two of them, if I were given a chance like that, the police would show up later and find two morons soaked in pepper spray, with their sticks shoved up their asses! NO BADGE, NO NAME TAG,...NO ATHOURITY!!! The days of passive resistance are over, in the future they will have no problems with killing non-violent citizens, for simply not following orders.
