It makes me wonder if there are right wing types patrolling youtube in some sort of semi-organized campaign to fill the commentary of progressive videos with crap.

[CIMC]

Has anyone else notice that there seems to be a similarity in the negative comments that come in to videos like this one? If you click on the author's name & see their account, you see that they have essentially no activity other than viewing, so they really aren't contributing members of the community. The tone & language is all very similar - a kind of kindergarden level of mentality & intellect, filled with grammatical errors & name calling, and no argument of intelligent point of any kind.

This video makes me PROUD! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. :)

NICE WORK FRED and loved seeing the solidarity throughout the protest by the many protesters!

The police looked: as they were, helpless for trying to stop (supress) free speech and public dissent over police crimes and racism and teh issues you al lwere exposing. I work with Portland Copwatch and appreciate seeing this video.

Thanks from Joe Anybody

People have every right to peacefully assemble and protest, but chanting "fuck the police" is not going to do much to help your case. "No justice, no peace" sounds a lot like incitement to riot. The 1968 Chicago Riot was just that; a riot. In this particular case, did you guys have a parade permit? If not, you were in violation of the law.

Thanks to guys like you all, I stand a better chance of standing up for my rights and not getting my head cracked open. I am blacklisted in Baltimore by the general workforce, members of local police departments, and a huge number of community folk, who make suggestive threat to me and family of violent reprisals such as kidnapping, wrongful terminations, and false arrests.

I've been trying to protest but the heat and numbers just become hotter and larger. I am now publicizing these threats.

Anyone from chicago, check my channel and message me. We have to unite and get everyone on youtube onto the streets.
