But it's not citizens instigating the violence this time, it's the cops.

Here at MT.O, we strongly discourage threads/posts that head into the realms of politics and religion.  As most know, this is an extremely friendly forum which is open to discussion and critical evaluation of all things tool related.

Politics and religion threads have a strong tendency to degenerate quickly, leading to long term animosity.

This video/topic is still at the "Current Events" stage, but at any point where it starts down the dark path, it will be either locked or deleted.

Please, consider this before replying to this post.  Thanks  [/Moderator mode]

Oh dear, this will not end well.

No doubt there are two sides to every story, but in most cases I'll side with the cops over a group of self entitled know-nothing do-nothing "protesters" who think their "rights" trump everyone else's.

Some mouthy kids, playing in the street and blocking traffic, got some pepper spray in the eyes. Big deal. If I was stuck in the traffic jam they were causing I'd have wanted to do a heck of a lot worse

i was wondering how long it would tak until these events reached "mainstream media" i saw a page on it a few days/ maybe a week ago saying how funny it was no one knew of this happening as no press were round.

unnerving times.

The hole video look pretty much like a anti-police propaganda video to me, does anyone know what started all of this?

[bushidomosquito]

Seems to me that one should have to do more than standing in a crowd of protesters to get sprayed with pepper spray or your head slammed into a car.

I'm gonna stay neutral here for the sake of, well, neutrality on an international forum.  But I do want to see how this thread pans out.
