koch was GUILTY!!!!! 'Out of the city' - conveniently. Because there had been a smaller police riot the week before the big one, and the cops had failed to clear the park. So, they came back with a vengeance - and he knew all about it. Fck you, and fck this completely unbalanced video.

typical leftist. if the police do something good, he's the "commander in chief"! When it goes wrong, and those that voted for him riot (degenerates, drug dealers, criminals) and his police overreact, "I was out of town...no one called me....I'm not really in charge....). I am tired of it. "Executives" who demand praise and pass the blame. Why do you ELECT such scum? When will you grow up and demand elected "leaders" take ACTUAL responsibility, as opposed to mouthing the words?

@hondonkey Yes, blindly accepting a fascistic police state and its policies has done this world a lot of good...

I was there. The cops and crowd faced off around 75 feet from each other. There was a police captain in a white coat. The crowd would chant: "Who's park? Our park." The captain would wave his baton at the crowd and yell: "Who's throwing bottles." Then the police would charge and the crowd would throw bottles. Then both would regroup and repeat. Then the cops came around from the back! Dastardly. One cop tried to bash me. But I deflected his nightstick with my arm while ducking. OK.
