Agents povocateurs, in flagrante delicto around 1:20, especially 1:40...

I've watched that film, and it seems pretty damning.

The police were probably given instructions to apply higher levels of violence and to use agent provocateurs to justify it.

Well, it started in Greece, like to many other things in Europe.

Re: Flash brief from the #greekrevolution (4.00 / 6)

There is word about the guy with the piece of iron in his hand, claiming that he is a member of some ultra-right organization, saved by the police from anarchists. However even if that is the case the attitudes are far too cosy and tight and I don't know what he is doing with that thing in his hand. The fact that in a day with scores of people hurt badly, the police would single out nazis and only nazis to save is by itself, not good... Probably provocateurs are being outsourced to save money nowadays

Apparently, they were attacked by leftists.

And the police whitewash goes on.

I wouldn't believe this cock-n-bull story in a million years. It's clear the police are not there to escort them out of danger.
