Man dies during G20 protests in London

See the jackbooted thugs. They even harm their own. Those innocent protesters didn't have an agenda. The police caused all the riots because they wanted to get their pictures in the papers and on the Web. You know how police are, they're publicity hounds.

Nope, the police did nothing in that instance to cause anything and the protestors who injured the police were arrested and rightly so

It's one thing peacefully protesting which should be essential in any democracy and another assaulting someone else.
 
I said that? *looks back at post*

Don't ask ridiculous questions, and the damaging of RBS happened because bankers was waving money outside of their wondows goading the stupid teens in black. What did they expect?

Don't ask ridiculous questions, and the getting arrested happened because morons were damaging property. What did they expect?
 
Photos of people being arrested is not proof of police abuse.



Typical police hating rhetoric. You sound like the scum who held a vigil for a child molester and cop killer and called him a hero.

Notice the balaclava in her hand. I'm sure she was just "peacefully protesting." :roll:

Did i express anger at those who were arrested for damaging property or those unfairly targeted by the police and arrested.

Don't make ridiculous statements
 
Lets discuss the topic lol

Police brace for more violence as world leaders gather


On another news, what do people think the G20 summit will achieve?
I think it will do nothing to solve the global crisis although reporters are saying tax havens are going to be stopped and the bankers salaries will be affected
Global crisis? What crisis? You sound like an alarmist. I agree the G20 will accomplish little, because the people themselves are the real solution. G20 is just an excuse to wine and dine.

I was wearing black, OMG. I was one of those deadly anarchists who was damaging property ... :roll::doh

Serious question:

If its not a big deal, then why do people like you feel the need to go to these events and start **** with police? What are you hoping to achieve? Do you just really like standing in a huge group all day, or are you merely hoping deep down that a cop will accidentally trip you so you can totally be a victim of police brutality and your friends will think you're super cool?

Maybe you were. You sound like an extremist, blaming the police for everything.

You're blaming the police for the "riot." Make no mistake about it, this was not a "riot" but a "direct action" by anarchists and socialists. It was planned months in advance. Gee, I wander why people continue to associate anarchism with violence and chaos.... :roll:

Do you not think what we are facing is a crisis?

Oh dear god, Brown wants another stimulus - i never thought there would be a day where i'd advoce conservatives to getting in and stopping this foolishness. Enough with pouring tax money at ****. If it collapses, tough

Absolutely, and there were hundreds of others also there.

Again what did the police do to cross the line and provoke scum?


The enviromental protestors no less!
That was disgusting, if it was the BOE one, that is understandable despite the fact i was trapped. There was people there causing trouble but the enviromental protestors did NOTHING to warrant such police activity and the legal observers who oversee this was trapped with us and was not allowed to leave

Environmentalist are not pacifist. I was not there and as far as I know there are no videos on econuts just standing around peacefully protesting and minding their own business and the mean ol police just beat them up for no reason and took them to jail(although the British government does spy on its subjects so there might be video of this if it actually occured) and by your apparent hatred for law enforcement one has to take your word with a grain of salt.

Forcibly removing and hurting the people sitting down

All CCTV footages were shut down by the Govt. for a few days. I don't put anything pass this Govt. They want to "monitor" our IPs and what we do on myspace/facebook etc.

When you're a professional activist everyting is a crisis, otherwise you'd have nothing to do. The whole protest was set up so that the protesters could be portrayed as victims of the Man.

Oh no, riot isn't my term. It was a term from the newslinks.

Those Anarchists were also put down and rightly so.
As i said, peacefully protesting is one thing. Causing damage is another and assaulting.

Overall the police did a wonderful job but there were moments in which they were the bad guys and not the protestors

Prove it.

That's the Labor Party. They're going to be gone shortly.
 
Laila,

Did you know these protesters use phony... theatrical blood.

Some deserve a good smacking, and I'm surprised more aren't injured or dead.

Millions of people are losing their jobs inside UK and you wouldn't label that a crisis? Our currency is losing value, property market is down, banks are playing around with our money. Just by our national debt Brown has put us in. Every person in the country will be over 20 grand in debt - including children

Perhaps it is not a crisis to you but to me it is
 
Everyone knows that if these types of protesters stand around peacefully all day, then there will be no sensational news coverage. It'll only get a 10 second blip on the evening news. Now if there are riots and victims with bleeding heads, then there will be days or weeks of sensational media coverage and the protesters' money will have been well invested.

Now, who caused the riots again?

Riots is a sensational use of the word.

What happened in Thatchers era was a riot, this was just a protest gone ugly

Lol, and they got a smacking as well

Yeah, that was a good thing. Only one person dead and i still can't find out the cause

It can be very difficult to separate the "bad guys" from the peaceful protesters. In general, the guys with the baraclava's are there to cause trouble. They take measures to mix it up though, and paint the police in a bad light.

11 were arrested for possessing police uniforms

The Associated Press: London police report 86 arrests in G-20 protests

In the morning there were little of them idiots until afternoon when they started coming in force.

How difficult can it be? Go after the idiots hitting things and leave those who isn't alone.
 
Forcibly removing and hurting the people sitting down

Any evidence that the police were doing this?Is there any evidence that the police were actually trying to harm the people they were removing? Because I do not think the police will just club someone across the head before trying to arrest someone(with the media and a **** load of people there that might be a bad idea to just randomly assault and arrest people for no reason).Usually the only time people get hurt during an arrest if is someone is trying to avoid or resist arrest. Police doing their job is not asking crossing the line nor is it asking for scum to attack them
