Where is the police brutality? -- people lie so much. The only brutality was the protestor stomping on the another protestor. If the protestor would have kept from walking into the cops and assaulting the cops the cop would not have to moved the defend them selves.

I applaud the AP coverage of what happened INSIDE the meetings. However the coverage of what was happening outside is total SHIT, "harmlessly" inaccurate and misleading. If you'd like to know what was really going on out there watch my video "IMF WORLD BANK BEAT DOWN". It has more views, ratings, comments and truth than this video and yet does NOT get ranked in a search... this shit does... Maybe the AP should Pay ME to cover such things since I know how.

you complain bitterly about the press misrepresenting the libertarian right, i'd advise you not to make the same stereotypes about the libertarian left, thanks.

we invited a diversity of perspectives from the anti-capitalist left to speak at the event you were at.

most of the organizers are anarchists who aim to work towards a cooperative self-organized world, but in the time being we organized under a coalition of anti-capitalists, the common ground amongst everyone being that people's needs should come first before profit driven corporations, governments, and global financial institutions. that included some socialists.

the speeches given at the protest were about restructuring wealth so that people who make to much pay more to help those that make to little and in support of state controlled schools and education. people there also argued for the continued subsidization of abortion. all of these activities must be carried out by some form of govt, right?

How sad is that police line... Protecting fascist bankers from the voice of the people. It's one of the problems with fascism, the people who think they have it good stand by and watch the weak fed upon. Or worse... help perpetrate the evil and oppress the desperate unheard masses. But if you want to call them "Anarchists, or racists..." I can't stop you. Unlike some, I believe in the freedom of speech.
