(27,310 posts)From a young friend of mine who lives in Athens and was beaten up by fascist members of Golden Dawn.
"There's a reason why police only kill a kid every ten or fifteen years in Greece - It's because every time it happens, we set the country ABLAZE in response. And for those who claim it's 'anarchist terror' or 'arson', or ask, "Why should a clothing store have to be destroyed because ONE cop did something bad?" the response is twofold: 1) We don't kill anyone - they do. We're keeping them in line. 2) Stop equating the destruction of 'private' property with the loss of human life. Ferguson is a long-overdue step forward for America. Be inspired and put police terror to an end. A.C.A.B. (And to all "Good cops" - Quit and become firefighters or paramedics. Let's see if you can handle even a week doing that.)

(22,271 posts)Military vehicle just showed up. Tear gas being thrown. Rubber bullets. And the protesters were doing NOTHING but chanting. This is just fucking bullshit. The cops are the ones escalating this.

Protesters were in street, repeatedly told to disperse, then 5 minutes later, teargas, rubber bullets?
