Kids today try to hard to be like their parents in the 60's! Taking to the streets and busting windows on ma and pa stores does not work. You need educated people to tackle an issue with lobbying and petitions. And for god sakes,if a riot squad is clearing a street,dont hand a cop a flower!! Get out of the way! Did you think one cop would stop doing his job and start crying?

The fat chick throwing up at 40 secs is great. The Old Bill, Thats Police, looks like all theier actions were justified and proportinate in every aspect.

Dont be childish. I never once implied that. However police who act outside of the law and violate people's first amendment rights do need to be disciplined.

Your right lets just get rid of the police all together and see what happens then thats a good idea.

Are you implying that police are never brutal and that every act of police violence is justified about two years ago las vegas police shot a man and dragged him out of the car after he was already dead tugging him to arrest him making it look like he was putting up a fight. The reason he was pulled over ? Loud music.

They have gas masks because police have a tendency towards excessive force because they feel threatened due to being out numbered. I wish the marchers in selma were armed or would you say they were looking for trouble as well?

Wow you are absolutely right. The police are trained in how to handle riots and I am glad they are.

You have to consider a few things. The police response was planned a year ahead of time, and organizers for a peaceful protest were spied on an jailed under terrorist charges granted by MN's version of the Patriot Act. The police response was backed by a lot of money for new toys and was incredibly brutal and disproportionate. I'm speaking as a witness.
