    the video doesn´t show what happened before the cop lost it. she could as well have stepped over the line earlier. i´ve been to number of demonstrations/riots and it´s always been a couple of demonstrator idiots that start shit throwing rocks, storming the blocking lines, etc., before the cops loose their calm and go berserk on everybody.

    one time, there was a couple of hundred cops buffering anti-nazi demonstrators from a mob of the worst kind of hardcore powerskins (the ones that would throw a black man out off a train when they met him alone at night). among the riot police were a couple of black cops, who were being assaulted and insulted as "fascist pigs", when their were only making sure that neither side was hurt. there were standing there for +8 hours, in full riot gear, in 100°F heat. getting treated like pieces of shit from both sides, getting rocks, bottles. because people thought that they were fighting "the man". i felt ashamed to be part of that crowd, that´s why i am serious about this. all of the riots i´ve seen were for sport (exactly like hooligan riots), and not for political reasons, no self-defense. politics only the excuse for rock´n´roll.

    the riot cops on that occasion didn´t loose their cool, which IMO was a super-human accomplishment. but you don´t see videos from that perspective.

    • Your fist sentence is probably the most important point to be made in this thread.dog_opus
    • But it's so much cooler and easier to hate the man, man. Man!dog_opus
    • my guess is, she was in his face with that pink megaphone for 30 minutes before he lost it.

    • She got the reaction she was working so hard for, I reckon.dog_opus
    • you mean cops have a hard job? who knewBattleAxe
    • the point i was trying to make: it´s understandable when they loose it, given the cirumstances. they are normal guys. make mistakes too. no gov. oppression.
