Death From Above 1979 SHOW POLICE START RIOT SXSW 2011!

DFA/Death From Above 1979 show at SXSW 2011 riot started by police! All the punters want to do is dance and have fun! Horses trample fans in alley way. And why do the police put black tape over their badge numbers during these type of things when they provoke the people?

The description is incorrect, the riot was started by the morons tearing down the fence trying to get in

@aztec7846 What video were you watching? They were outside, in an ALLEYWAY you fucking dumbass!! They were nowhere near the stage. And they were tearing down the fence acting like a bunch of retarded children. The police clearly did their job and kept those spoiled pretenious douchbags in check.

and in what way, shape or form was this like arizona?? Get your head out of your ass...

@C3PiLLiN Your comment is on every riot video with dfa, but guess what im not one of those 8 people who care..

@maltbiem if you read an actual news article, it was a riot. i mean, they friggin tazed people and sprayed them with pepper spray and beat some people up

Hardly seems like a "riot" was happening in this video. Did the police probably take a little bit more of an aggressive means of crowd dispersal than was necessary? Yeah, did the concert goers react immaturely and ignorantly? Yeah.

The cops are just there to ensure safety. None of them woke up that day thinking today I'm gunna pepper spray some kids and ruin their night. They'll learn from their mistakes in this video and maybe take a different approach next time during a similar situation.

Death From Above suck.

@aztec7846 They're not in front of the stage, they're in an alley. The stage is behind the fence, keeping people out so those with the presence of mind to get tickets and arrive early to enjoy the show in peace. The other videos show clearly how the mob incited the police to take action. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the police, but they acted accordingly to the situation. Anyone with a pair of eyes can see the crowd becoming a mob and tearing down the fence to force their way in.

@C3PiLLiN Sorry that people don't want to be watching their favorite band from the outside of a fence. That's fucking ridiculous. I'd be rioting so hard. You're a moron for acquiescing to a force that has completely thrown their weight around too much. Using horses, in front of the stage - while a band is playing? That's fucking disrespectful.. It's SXSW, not arizona.

wow, I'm generally skeptical when people claim "I was just standing there and the police came and provoked me" but clearly these cops are just being douche bags. The odds of any one in that crowd getting hurt or causing some massive problem was pretty small until the cops got there.
