WTO Protests from Seattle 1999

Description: This is a condensed, almost chronological record of police action on peaceful protesters of the elite World Trade Organization. This action was in response to a short, coordinated campaign of destruction by a small group of "anarchists." As the destruction of property was being filmed by the media, the police stood by, as real protesters desperately tried to stop the "anarchists." After the footage of property destruction hit the airwaves, the city of Seattle declared a 50 square block "no free speech zone" around the WTO...This video foreshadows many things we have seen recently including the LA brutality on May 1, 2007

Lancekennedy ::: Favorites sitting in the street to shut down traffic isnt a civil protest. breaking windows isnt a civil protest. they should should read more thoreau if they want to know how to conduct a civil protest. 07-07-30 23:39:24 _____________________________________________________
googlevideodaddy ::: Favorites If you would have bothered reading the commentary on the video, you would see the story, behind the so-called "anarchists" that showed up and were allowed to destroy things for hours so the media could get pictures of it. The whole time, the REAL protesters were trying to stop them but the cops did nothing. 07-07-31 05:09:09 _____________________________________________________

greganwortman ::: Favorites amerika has been a police state since george washington burned mohawk villages (this was before he was president and before the US was even a country separate from england although I don't see them as being very separate today) 07-08-15 21:54:07 _____________________________________________________

QuickDrawIke ::: Favorites You know, at the time, if you even attempted to get CLOSE to the Police, they'd fire rubber bullets at you, or, they'd mercilessly beat the shit out of you with their night-sticks. 07-08-20 05:53:07 _____________________________________________________
bcobb24 ::: Favorites you know maybe if you got out of the street when the police start to come toward you with guns, that stuff probably wouldnt happen. you want to protest? Start a petition... dont block my way to starbucks becasue you have a problem with the WTO ;-) 07-08-20 15:26:42 _____________________________________________________
googlevideodaddy ::: Favorites Maybe the police shouldn't be coming towards unarmed protesters with guns in the first place...BTW, if getting your Starbucks is more important than people fighting for your economic freedom, you are truly lost... 07-08-22 18:02:14 _____________________________________________________
