thats lame... but whatcha gon do? alot of people got too rowdy and they intervened... but i gotta say.. they did kinda kik the beehive with all the weapons they used cmon man.. if they woulda just came in with battons cattle probes and electric riot shields like normal and set an example with a few people they coulda probably stopped it from the looks of things.. like the guy said they provoked them so they could bust out the riot gear...

That is so fucked.
I don't really agree with violence as a solution, but....
One of these days I hope a team of people in storm trooper gear faces off against these riot gear fucks.. pulls out machine guns and blows away these fucking pigs breaking every constitutional right we have.
They keep pulling shit like this and it's only a matter of time. Fight fire with fire. Non-violence isn't the answer, when armed storm troopers will reign down on unarmed civilians peacefully assembling.
You take away people's rights, stomp them into the ground like this, pretty soon they will rise up and bite back.

A lot of people believe non-violence is an automatic, one-stop, drive-thru window to virtue, and even if they're prone to violence themselves (which almost as a rule, they are!), they'll preface their statements with how they're usually a peaceful man and this and that.
But even Tibetan monks will lull around the monastery with a .45 Smith & Wesson under their robes.
That being said, inciting violence would only give them a reason to clamp down on civil liberties even further.
Fucked if you do and fucked if you don't.

I don't see inciting violence, more violence as a REACTION to what they are doing. They are the ones starting the violence. I just want to see a reaction where THEY are the ones on the ground getting beaten and running for their lives because they kicked open a hornets nest

thats messed up man. if that happened at my uni or at my friends place it would be on man. i'm a peaceful and respectful person, and when i've done the wrong thing i am the first to put my hand up and apologize and suffer the consequences. BUT when i am accused of something i haven't done, or get this kind of treatment for no reason at all, i don't take it well.
It would be on man if they pulled that shit in melbourne. I don't mean as in actual violence and assault or anything, i think its wrong to be violent against police officers who are only doing their job, but it would be a damn volitile situation and people would be screaming , taunting and probably throwing objects and things like that.

Violence through instigation or reaction is the same in the eyes of authority. If a cop was abusing someone's rights - hell, beating the living shit out of him with a club, I don't feel confident in saying under most circumstances that the man would get off clean for laying a hand on that cop in defense.
These are largely deliberate abuses of power designed to provoke a violent response.
Those masked 'protesters' at those peaceful assemblies that stir up all the shit and give the riot squad the justification to blast the sound cannons and beat kids senseless are probably cops. 
But I'm with you on seeing them get what they deserve.

You're completely right of course. The way "the system" works, violence can only travel down the totem pole, you can never go up. Doing so is often 'unheard of', or completely met with "how dare you even think that".
They can abuse the people without any fear of retaliation, with full backing of the law, but if the people fight back in defense they are "terrorists" or whatever the fuck they want to label them as. Which they most assuredly would. Say one person fought back and beat the shit out of the 5 cops that were assaulting him, the media would spin it like he was some wild maniac out to murder the poor cops just doing their job to serve and protect.
Just one of these days. I want to see justice served. Real justice.
Wouldn't it be nice if our whole military came back from overseas, and decided.. hey fuck this shit. We're defending THE PEOPLE... OUR families.... not these scumbag fucks.
Isn't that what our military is for anyway? Protecting our OWN country and citizens from Gestapo shit like this? Not out policing the rest of the world. Protecting the constitution? Isn't that what they signed up for???
I'd like to see a battalion of Navy Seals go against these fucks. They'd probably think twice about swarming on unarmed people the next time.

I just do not see the point in what the cops did. Unless they have had trouble before but this is an annual event. Sounds like nothing new for college kids. Shits fucked up.

You honestly did not expect that reaction from pris, come on, the thread involves police and rowdy students. 
If there were widespread incidents of the civilians there trying to push around and terrorize fighting back and killing them the mass media machine would spin it off as some sort of homegrown terrorist attack and they would do something extreme in retaliation like inciting martial law.

the first 90 seconds of the video
cops were there, then they left because shit wasnt so bad, the interviewee even stated that things started getting out of hand and a few cops showed up and were standing there watching the shit escalate... I guess a half dozen cops didnt want to take on 400 college students already worked up and burning stuff... surely that wouldnt have resulted in a bunch of kids getting shot

If he knew it was going to happen, he should have tried to get people to form a pots-n'-pans, swimming goggles/paint masks armored peacful red-rover line. That would have made them look like even huger assholes...
