Fuck them... why does it have to be one way and not another. Can't someone be provoked. If I got my skull cracked, I'd probably want to beat the fuck out of the cops too

I bet they out number the police 100 to one....they should over come the police..hell they could do it to the military if they really wanted to

The violence was initiated when global corporate and corrupt officials conspired to rape Greece of it's wealth, ala U.S. style. Prior commenters have been spot when they suggest that this crisis is being engineered worldwide to precipitate violence which can be responded to with crushing force. It will be a miracle if we can revive our democracy and financial health without an even greater violence.

Well lets be more realistic, the crisis started due to domestic problems of corruption within the Greek Government. The inefficiency to collect taxes and the moving around of funds were all too obvious. The violence itself is more because of the austerity measures established by the IMF. I don't think global corporations want chaos and destruction since that would contradict their own profit gains. What I hate is how people fail to understand the domestic origins that caused the chaos in the first place and simply want to direct the blame on international corporations. In the end, its more complicated than global corporations want to destroy the world.

Corporations do not want to destroy the world. They wouldn't have a consumer base. These protests are about people who have had way too many social benefits being told they're going to have to suck it up until things get better.

If people have been receiving social benefits, they have been paying for them. When people pay taxes it is for the explicit purpose of receiving social benefits. In the case of Greece, as with most countries, the majority of the people's taxes have been covertly and institutionally appropriated by business and industry in concert with corrupt government. Social programs and entitlements are merely the delivery of goods and services which the citizens have contracted with government to provide in exchange for their tax dollars. That is where they're money is supposed to go and not to Big Business and special interests.

For global corporations to further their total domination of world governments, as they have and do with our government, they must continue their covert sponsorship of those actions which ultimately lead to the erosions of all social constructs which impede their complete control and exploitation of the public.

its rough...i know

They obviously look for a certain type of person who can shut emotions off, I've often wondered this myself as well

The training comes largely from the states and riot policing sadly from my own city of Cincinnati too there are publications put out bi-monthly on police tactics at the library for public use :)

What would you do if bricks and Molotov's were being thrown at you?
