WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE. On Saturday night, one day after the g20 and the protests that left hundreds of people in handcuffs, local activists gathered at Schenley Plaza to protest alleged police brutality. They chanted and marched, but the police stayed back.
Comments
the two idiots at the end
The were completely irrelevant. Why were they included? Why is this article on the post G-20, peaceful protesters and police instead of the day-of when the police tear-gassed students observing the march from their residence hall?
Not quite
No they weren't completely irrelevant. The Wu-Tang Clan achieved notoriety for their song, "F@#$ the police", and I believe Method Man raps against officers as well. But it was an obviously coded message.
They were there for a reason -- to make the small crowd that was gathering look like a bunch of burnouts. "Look, the only protests signs they have are ironical. Nothing to see here." And then BOOM, an hour late, their fists are in the air and they're walking down Forbes towards Starbucks, Qdoba et cetera.
agreed.

and luke rudkowski from we are change, infowars.com, and genesis communications network was there to promote peace and free speech. he was also there to expose the police state tactics. he was one of the few people who was charged with crimes of unlawful assembly and disorderly conduct, which he did neither. he was there to promote peace, free speech, and cover the event as media since the corporate media tends to fail at giving the full story.

the buck stops at the sheriff. the sheriff should be impeached for allowing and causing property damage, inciting violence, and terrorizing the public. the sheriff was paid off by people very high up in the chain. the sheriff should be imprisoned for these crimes of corruption and for these crimes of police brutality and police state terrorism against the innocent community.
What?
I watched that video numerous times. I just saw 3 guys accused of being cops. Even if they had admitted to being cops that would really prove nothing since most of the anarchists would have been happy to smear the image of the police.
I understand people are angry about the way the police behaved but basing your argument on blind assumptions makes you look silly.
also be wary of communist anarchists
they're an oxymoron. they dress in all black. they carry anti-capitalism signs and anarchist signs. these are usually deliquents the feds pay to bring into a protest to also cause violence and to smear a legitimate protest in the media.
It's a conspiracy
Typical tin-foil hat wingnuttery from the glassy-eyed cult of Alex Jones...

"6. People who practice direct action should work through the established political channels instead.
Many people who practice direct action also work within the system. A commitment to making use of every institutional means of solving problems does not necessarily preclude an equal commitment to picking up where such means leave off...."
