These cops do not know how dangerous it is to walk through a crowd of angry people and step on the protesters. In a crowd of people you could get skived and not know you have been hurt until you get out of the crowd.
Just look at assassins creed, the premise of the game is to use the masses to hide.
I don't even like to work fire drills no less have to work a protest.
"People who needed shoes were breaking windows and getting shoes, and that's the way it should be."
"What do we want? CLASS WAR! When do we want it? NOW!"
And this is what happens when the anarchists of the world unite.
I'd up vote if I could for simply showing what happened without being edited to really bias one side or another. We need more media like this available.
"I'm here because I heard 50,000 other people were gonna be here, and I figured even if they're out here protesting in a way that I don't like advocating reform or abolition of some particular institution, at least they're 50,000 people that really care and are worked up about something."
"The problem with the WTO is the same problem that all the institutions that fill our lives are guilty of, that people other than ourselves are in control of our lives. They just keep getting further and further away from us and more and more powerful. I don't care whether they're making decisions that I like or which I hate, the fact that their making those decisions is unhealthy and unnatural."
It's a great documentary. I don't agree with everything said, but the remarkable thing is that the folks who made it are the same folks who were there on the ground organising this thing, yet they include opposing points of view from the many different factions of the anarchist group, and even those opposing the group as a whole.
Like bcglorf said... What do want? Independent media! When do we want it? Now!
