Danish police clash with activists

[Liep]

Greenpeace somehow managed to get into the royal dinner where all the heads of state went to waste time. Surely this must give our police red ears.

[Liep]

Haha. Apparently Bubber (beloved children's tv host, now just another tv-personality) was the 3rd guy arrested in this Greenpeace event. He is now in the climate-prison.

Demonstrators are hoping to break into and take over the summit to turn it into a "people's assembly" with the aim of giving voice to ordinary people affected by climate change.

It's kind of funny, trying to imagine the sort of person for whom this sounds like a good idea.

Sometimes you really know how to pinpoint something.

Too bad you are often blinded by your blinding hatred of the superior sexual orientation of homofaggotry.

It snows here, that helps usbdue the protests

And that isn't full riot gear.. when they have that on they have flak like wests, with back panales like snowborders and chin guards, not to mention shields, they didn't even use shields or teargas, only hand held pepper sprays.. weak protest in all

There was a nice footage of a cop forcible tackling a protester trying to get aorund by biking across a big golf course

That is a full riot gear, they just wear all their body armor under a flame retardant suit. Danish police rarely use riot shields, it limits their movement and makes it hard to grab any troublemakers who needs to be taken out. Grab some of the front men, among the troublemakers and rest usually lose the will to fight...

This whole thing is hilarious.  The whole conference is a joke to begin with.  Inside you have folks living in an alternate reality, where global warming is something beyond debate & we apparently have the ability to keep the global climate perfectly stable if we adjust our behavior.  Outside, even bigger nutjobs are asking to be let in.

Reached a new level today with the poor countries, having pretended to threaten to walk out, being offered $$ by Hillary Clinton.

Ah OK, I just missed the chin guards I have seen them wear around Nørrebro back when I lived there, and the shoulder, arm padding, but I guess it makes sense to put it under the flame suits

What gets me is how a load of them will no doubt cry "police brutality". If you don't want to be beaten up don't provoke such a reaction!

You have no idea how much they have been crying the last couple of days. The reaction of the rest of society: if you dont want to get beaten up by the police, dont try a force your through a police blockade, no matter how peaceful you claim your intentions are...
