You've entitled this video "Mounted police attack demonstrators ... ". Why? I've now watched it three times, and see lots of things thrown at police officers, but no evidence of any police officer attacking any demonstrator.

Isn't your title misleading? At what point in the video do you say the police "attack"?

Look at what people like you do in protests. You cause anger and stupidity in peaceful terms, you turn peaceful protests into chaotic shows and then you blame the police.

These horses and the police are 100 times braver than you. The horses are trained for these situations, they are bomb proof. Only the police officers would lead them away if the situations was too dangerous. Never are they used to harm protesters. They're only used to control situations that are getting too rowdy. -_-

If you have seen the footage on the news, no doubt you have, the mounted police charged into a crowd of demonstrators, and the crowd split, this is when the horses are stranded in the middle of the crowd.

Stop trying to justify police actions and demonise protest, its weak.

I am absolutely boiling with rage. I cannot believe that they are chanting scum when they are the ones pelting these poor horses. For once I really don't care what it says on their banners even if I did support what they were rioting about I still would want to jump on their bloody faces until they bloody well die. I really want to cause bodily harm upon these people. I think the word scum sums them up perfectly

shouldnt put horses in dangerous situations

Fuckin backward Hippie folk from their middle class bastard families need to shut the fck up and get jobs. If one person can do it, they can do it. And if they are in university, they need to start acting like university students because university by nature means the person concerned at least has a few manners and respect for the law. These sofa-chair liberalists/socialists who have never known what it's like to be poor or being working class need to piss off !!!
