PLEASE READ!!! This video shows how the police continued to build up the intimidation level throughout the day. The crowd was doing fine, then the first group of riot police came marching out and formed a line. They had no masks and a white patch on their shoulder. The crowd took notice and approached the line. Things were fine for a few hours, but then another group of police switched places with the first ones. This second group had a red patch instead of a white one (a little more intimidating). As a result of that, the crowd got a little more worked up. After a few more hours, those cops were switched for ones wearing gas masks. Again as a result the crowd was getting a little bit more worked up. Then the next "shift change" brought on the full on black storm trooper looking cops with gas masks, shields and clubs. It was at this point that one guy began pushing and throwing stuff (most likely a provocateur in light of recent evidence), and right away about 15 or 20 idiots joined in on the aggressiveness (because the intimidation level had provoked them to that stage). That's when all hell broke loose. Everything would have been fine if the wall of police never came out in the first place. It is my opinion that the whole event was carefully planned. The riot police understand the mob mentality and most importantly how to manipulate it.

  • The cops were told to do something and they did it... Don't blame them, blame the higher-ups.

  • You're absolutely right. Those cops were just doing their job...However, You still need to look at what the protesters are saying.... And the protesters are saying,... we don't want a NAU. The idea of the protest is to bring the issues to the masses.

    The people need to know that there's a problem before anyone can "blame the higher-ups".

    I can tell you all about the higher ups if you want...this video was about a protest

  • Maybe rioting is what needs to be done to get national attention.

  • I know many a person who want to be cops just to 'take care' of protesters... like, come on. It's a power trip (or for the 'better ones', a paycheque)

  • Everybody has the right to manifest, but if you have low-lifes that ruin it all when they start breaking everything... these scum hide behind mask and hide behind the real people that manifest... there the one's that fuck it all up for everyone. Police are there so nothing gets out of control, there just doing there jobs...

  • BOO, cops. Don't you want a better world too? You're not off the hook just because you were paid to do it.

    if no one wanna do the job, the higher up wont be able ot do that stuff ,...

    protesters are pacifist ,....you see them using sticks ? pepper spray ? rubber bullets etc ? ..no, ...their only weapon is the speach .

    if you defend the TYRANTS,..you deserve teh same Punishment they deserve.

    you just as worse, to give illegal order or to obey to it ,.

  • @munqui rioting is the last thing that needs to be done. All it does is empower the militaristic measures and takes away from the credit and legitimization of the protest. Riots are the worst path to go. It only smears the cause of protest. If you believe otherwise, you support anarchy which is not a productive method.

  • 8:55 - 9:05 guy in red in the middle of the road waving a what..... a skull and crossbones flag, coincidence??? i think not, there's one of your provocateurs right there i bet... i noticed that someone laid the canadian flag on the road there at the end, likely as symbolism if the guards came and trampled over it, is there film of that happening???
