"In July 2001, anti-globalization demonstrators protested the 27th G8 summit in Genoa, Italy, where leaders of the world's major industrialized nations met. Among these protesters was Carlo Giuliani, a 23-year-old Roman Italian and resident of Genoa, whom a police officer shot and killed during what had become a riot two miles from the summit."
quote from the attacked journalist
"To be honest I hate Black Bloc. They are so extreme, they defeat the arguments of the peaceful protesters and give us a bad name."
Possible but I need more context.
And what did the attacker say?
"They didn't ask me any questions or try to handcuff me or anything."
'You are Black Bloc and we're going to kill Black Bloc.'
they actually said that they would kill him
for no reason other than that he was at the wrong place at the wrong time
he was at a peaceful meeting
he was not taking part in illegal actions in any way
and they broke his rib cage
Doubt they said that.
Nor was it peaceful.
that was straight from the BBC article
And?
generally they get things right
Not really no.
several policemen actually went on trial for excessive force
And?
probably just a minor hint that they may have done something wrong
Possibly, but not definite
over 70 cops were fucking convicted of excessive force
Again, need more context.
this wasn't a riot
this was a peaceful FUCKING meeting
😉
It was a riot though.
Hence riot vans arrived and 70 cops came.
tfw a peaceful meeting of lawyers and journalists in a building they specifically asked for permission to use is a riot
the police just can't do any wrong in your eyes, can they?
They can if they do what is unjust. And just because you ask for permission for a protest doesnt mean it wont become a riot.
In this case it came one.
🤔
Either way these police men do not represent the police.
Nor are they a significant portion of police.
You just looked in the mirror?
EPIC OWN
wat
the bot just took away my sentence
fucking commies
