Brutal Panda
Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
Friendly old girl of a town ...
The police tried to disperse the chanting, drum-beating protesters who had marched from a train station about a mile away to try to make their way to the Bella Center ...
...the protesters began massing north of the center shortly before noon and pressed into a tight line of riot police ... officers wielded truncheons against the chanting, shoving protesters in a close-order scrum… tear gas was fired at the crowd ... forcibly removing protesters from a truck ... police in blue vans kept moving the protesters backwards, nearly pushing some into a watery marsh.
... skirmishes broke out with protesters who formed human chains and chanted their commitment to nonviolence and to helping people ...
“Danish police have been violating human rights all week,” ...
Authorities were restricting access to the rail station serving the Bella Center ... subway stations that had been closed to prevent demonstrators from converging ... forcing many conference attendees to walk a mile or more in cold drizzle and biting winds.
... chanted anti-capitalist slogans ...
Clown costume - excellent choice.
