dude I'm thinking the same thing! I'm not sure whether this protest is worth anything or if its just a bunch of pissed off hippies!

Then I apologise, I did get the link to this video from Occupy, so thought it was filmed by their members.

youtube OCCUPY IS AN INSIDE JOB and INSIDE OCCUPY AND THE BANK OF IDEAS also check out my channel for evidence of government involvement

then ask what has occupy achieved other then taking peoples rights away little by little

There is no commentary or impetus on the title as to being pro activist or pro police, this comment seems inept as it is simply a fair montage of a days activities and the progression of scenes which arose there in.

Those that make peaceful protest impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.

You'd have thought that our government would have learned a thing or two from the fall of other governments around the world in recent years. Obviously they haven't. There is no excuse for meeting a peaceful protest like this with such restriction, force, propaganda and menacing behaviour. We didn't even see this in response to the riots last year. That makes me question the motives of the police in both instances.

wot were they arrested for?

[Bboy Corrosive]

That last guy, Surely if he did a front flip he'd be back upright

These are just a few images from the day. The arrests occurred because the police tried to split the march, for no good reason. Up until then, it was all good natured. I witnessed some unneccessary heavy handedness from some of the police, which led to a lot of pushing and shoving. As ever, the protestors showed restraint, and some of the police were itching to provoke trouble. The majority of cops however were good natured and no trouble at all.

It's clear that... well nothing. There isn't anything clear about this film other than some people were arrested and a reasonable fashion. There is nothing to say why there were arrested and nothing to say why they shouldn't have been arrested. So on the whole this video is kind of meaningless except as crap propaganda by the occupy movement who I would really like to support but then they do things like this and I wonder why.

[superaktieboy]

Honestly there's probably a reason why only a select few were arrested. This video is a bit misleading. What was the reason they got arrested? I highly doubt it was for no reason. Don't get me wrong, I'm behind the Occupy movement, but there's no need to mislead people.
