As you can see there was no rock throwing or bottle throwing until AFTER the pigs assaulted the peaceful protesters.
What part of the fact that protesters did not film them starting the fight do you not understand? You can't show video evidence for events that were purposely not filmed.

Did you personally see protestors throwing things at Police? You can't state things as fact when you yourself have zero evidence. Don't believe everything you see on the mainstream media. They have agendas too.

Actually it the entire thing was filmed. The pigs claim that the protesters were throwing things before they were attacked that video shows otherwise and it shows a pig shooting directly at people trying to help scott when he was shot point blank range by murderous thugs with badges.

Like a video taken by one of the protesters isn't agenda driven? "The mind is a terrible thing to waste!"

The entire time before he was attacked and after he was attacked was filmed. If someone tried to murder me ya damn right I would start throwing whatever I could to protect my self.

I never said that wasn't possible. I simply stated that these "reports" people are hearing that the altercation was instigated by protestors are also biased. The owners of the mainstream media do not want the public to discover the real reasons behind this protest. You can't take something as fact with no evidence and then turn around to try and disprove a video with nothing to back up your story. Right now the evidence is on the protesters side. Even if it is possible that the video is distorted-you have nothing of substance to prove this.


"The global media system is now dominated by a first tier of nine giant firms. The five largest are Time Warner (1997 sales: $24 billion), Disney ($22 billion), Bertelsmann ($15 billion), Viacom ($13 billion), and Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation ($11 billion). Besides needing global scope to compete, the rules of thumb for global media giants are twofold: First, get bigger so you dominate markets and your competition can't buy you out. Firms like Disney and Time Warner have almost tripled in size this decade".

The police will be believed over the anarchists any day of the week.
