Here are just a few from the bush years...

Breathtaking, Terrifying Video Coverage of 'May Day Melee' in Los Angeles

Florida Police Behaving Badly

Portland police defend use of rubber bullets against protesters

If the police did that to them, then I would be outraged, too!

5. I live on the eastside and watched it and I was appalled!
Of course there were a couple of idiots/agitators but the police had infiltrated with their own agitators.

Seattle should always wear the badge of shame on that event.

8. More than a couple. There were hundreds.
Let's not sugarcoat it, some of us were there, watching. From a lamppost on 4th and pike, to be specific.

I didn't see any cop agitators at that event, not to say such a thing doesn't exist.
Unless they put their teenage/early 20's kids up to it.

9. So now they know how it feels.
Remember Bush's cages for demonstrators?

Let's see the Teabaggers in protest zones. Give them a taste of their own medicine. It's kind of funny to see people who don't know much about protesting find out what it is really about. Do they seriously think that the police don't show up at these things no matter who is protesting or what they are protesting?

Are they remembering to get their permits? Maybe they forgot. The organizers should be sophisticated enough to read the municipal codes before they protest.

And, little girl, you're cute, but, while the Constitution guarantees your right to free speech, the government has the right to limit the time place and manner of your speech.

Oh. My. God.

That was the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. I'm absolutely speechless. They act like they're oppressed because there were police in riot gear that didn't even do anything? Wow. I swear, these god damn buffoons wouldn't last 30 seconds if the shit ever really did hit the fan at one of their stupidity festivals.

Hey, unbelievably wimpy right wing tea bag dipshits, want to see what the police do to you when you're a leftist protester? Have a looksie:

11. The tea partiers only notice bad things that happen to their kin.
The you tube comment section says it all.

13. I find it...
...really offensive that they are using 'we shall overcome' as background music. These right wing asshats are probably the children and grandchildren of the people who wielded the fire hoses and loosed the german shepards on the civil rights protesters of the south.

Man these people have never spent a day in their life oppressed.

The riot police were probably there to protect their ignorant asses.

14. These adults do this child a huge disservice.
Little girl, those aren't Obama's riot police those are actors dressed up in scary outfits paid for with Homeland 'Security ' funds authorized by the 'Patriot' Act. If you don't like it, ask Mommy and Daddy why they sat on their rear ends for eight years while * raged against your American rights and freedoms.We were on the streets honey, your TV just didn't show you. This is a very sickening video!
