Protest on the first night of the convention at the Staples Center in Los Angeles after the Rage Against the Machine concert.

I was there. The cops went overboard given the situation.

  • stupid fucking cops.

  • The job of the police is to protect the people from the criminals and NOT to protect the criminals from the anger of their vicitims, the people, the same people who pay their salaries.

  • You do have a point, but it always seems like other people (not anarchists dressed all in black) suffer at the hands of the LAPD, known for their heavy handedness at political demonstrations. I was at this demonstration and RATM had been finished for a long time before the cops went on a rampage. I know the anarchists started shit, but the cops still went overboard, as usual in LA.

  • the police were maybe heavy-handed but don't try to tell me that the usual anarchist fucktards weren't there starting trouble in the first place. The sort of people that deliberately provoke the police and then as soon as they're struck back go crying about fascism

  • @WestVirginiaRebel this is an extremely important event, you should look deeper into it. obviously you wont understand something you know nothing about.

  • We were at peace and the economy was doing well. I never did understand what these morons were protesting about.

  • @gocubs1815 I don't think that RATM saw this as a show... what happened should have happened. And probably some cops should have been killed, but it would be too good to be true.

  • all a cop is thinking about is "hey maybe ill get to beat up some teenager"

  • Anarchists runined a good RATM show...

  • I was there!!!! my elderly mother and I left as soon as the cops moved in. They moved in without notice, but the story on the street was that they said a person threw a rock at a cop.

  • Call rubber bullets "Less lethal" haha WTF thats messed up beyond all measure!

  • they had bullets we had our fists

    assholes

    you got the gun i got my mind

    whos the criminal
