Ok this is great and all... until the actual riot police come back with more than 8 guys... in excessive armor and all kinds of gadgets...

Or what if the police peaceably protested their being forcibly removed?!?!?!

O_O

*fear. Put yourself in the cops' shoes. Holy shit batman. Adrenaline overload.

Adding video to channels (Fear) - requested by nomino.

As an American...WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

i don't think you have a grasp of the level of protest going on. Estimates have that 77 percent of the population support the protesters. This isn't a confusing WTO mess, with imported protesters with abstracted ideals on the line. The severity of the social cuts is so punitive that the force behind the protest won't cave to police enforcement as easily. That, and the Spanish populace won't tolerate the level of violence US law enforcement is used to doling out.

Being a cop/riot police agent in a country like that must be the suckiest thing ever. They are in the same shit as everyone else, probably agree with them for the most part, but risk losing their job (and everything that entails) if they do not act against the people they agree with. I wish they would just en masse join the protesters, now that would send a strong signal (wouldn't actually change much though, sadly).

I think adrenaline was probably only one of the bodily substances involved in this exchange. Would have loved to see a closeup of the first cop's face when his behind touched the line of cars. Relief probably doesn't cut it.

You call those riot police? I don't even think they're strapped!

There isn't enough police in the country to disperse that crowd. The biggest thing is that the police weren't beaten up and kidnapped. This shows clearly which side is for peace. It isn't the people who get paid money to ensure peace that's for sure.

El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!!

A people united can never be defeated!!!

Sing it in the streets!

Thats probably why nothing crazy happened. Plus those people had raging bulls on the street a month ago so how they going to compete with that?

Anyone know what they were chanting at the end?

American police probably would have panicked and started spraying pepper/bullets rather than give ground. These guys are smarter.

Ohhhhh yes it would-once people begin to wake up after being fucked for centuries, they tend start renaissancing around making sure the bullshit happens differently next time!

Whenever I see the thumbnail of this video I think "OOOOOO! a new Starcraft video made it to the top 15!" but then I click on it and become disappointed...
