Re: Chicago getting ugly
They've shown dozens of people leave. The crowd is much smaller. You CAN see it from above, live. They are not snatching people as they try to leave, lol.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1539700


ABC never showed way out, people left after things got pretty bad already
 Quoting: tarfonwxx

CLTV has shown a view from above almost constantly. At first people could just walk away by turning around. Many did. As people didn't leave, they began to bring in cops on the side. The other side is a fence. The crowd got smaller and smaller until it was mostly journalists. There was always an opening behind the protesters that most of them finally took. Every time there was an arrest they would zoom in. The cops know every move is being recorded and streamed. The arrests were few and then it was people who were being aggressive..again, the cops know they're being filmed. They're being very well behaved. This time.

No, they were surrounded after the permit ended and the protesters refused to disperse.

Fucking idiot.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1533862


Again you are wrong. This is called a kettle operation. Surrounding them and leaving a channel open for snatching people one by one, to be dragged into trucks. You'll see. There is no escape, and the tactic started long before the "warning" to disperse came.

This happened in Toronto and Londin, and you could see it from above. Totally obvious what they were doing...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1539700


even though i think they have a right to stay put i'd really like to see proof these guys couldn't leave, that's what it sounded like at one point from the ABC field reporter
 Quoting: tarfonwxx


They are standing toe to toe with the cops. That isnt usual behavior for protesters or cops. The only logical reason is because they are surrounded...

u serious bro?

All they had to do was turn around and walk the other way to the park.

but instead, they decided to stay put.

Still havent seen an aerial shot.

Like I said. The cops were manuevering in classic kettling tactics. If they wanted to simply push them out, they wouldnt be standing toe to toe like they are....

In Egypt last year, the cop lines seem to dissolve as people pushed from in front and the sides. They simply couldnt surround the crowd. There was a method to the madness in those days,.,,,
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1539700


They surrounded us too, at first, but as days went by, on that fateful Friday the 28th, we simply outnumbered them.
I'm looking at 300 people and 3000 cops/military type well trained guys. It's a joke, nothing will happen, arrests, that's it. All a dog&pony show. Once people start to outnumber the cops, THEN you have a riot and something to watch.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16202807


You guys need to come reteach us how to riot properly...
 Quoting: T-1000 1532961


Pfff...you don't "teach" that. What we did was brewing for years, frustration, desperation, anger...you guys just are still too comfortable and/or passive, lol.
