MARINO posted this pic, the shields look a little too small for me, I would myself want something bigger when the stones are flying. But maybe I just don´t have the balls and guts the spaniards have. :) Would be interesting to see the differences, so post your pictures.

These pictures covers Finland (blue and white flag on uniforms) and Sweden (blue and yellow). From FIN-SWE 0-3. Combined finnish and swedish Coastal Jaeger exercise. The scenario was that the swedish finnish amphibious task force unit had gone in to restore order after ethnic clashes.

I wonder what's the story in this picture?

Anyway, this might be a bit of a surprise to many of you here, but I was actually in Gothenburg the day that thing happened. And no, I was not there to riot nor demonstrate my beliefs against the globalization or whatever...

I saw some of that stuff happen from the TV, and I must say that the situation was rather interesting as it was chaotic.

Btw, wasn't this "Hannes Westberg" a son of a doctor or something?

There was also some stuff about some Finnish activists staying in a school or something, then the Swedish police raided the place and made the "poor children" lay on the ground for several hours.

Many of those "protesters" were just there to cause harm and destroy property, nothing else. That alone makes the whole "demonstration" just an excuse to make trouble.

The police should have started shooting those bastards the moment they started throwing the stones.

The funniest part of the whole deal was, that alot of the shops/cafe's/etc that got their share of damage from these "protesters" had nothing to do with globalization/Bush/America etc.

These comments are pretty weird coming from a guy who listens to RATM, right?

I agree, I went to a meeting in Gothenburg a few weeks before the riots and I met a very peaceful and friendly city.Then I saw the riots on TV. OH, what a mess, such a nice city is being destroyed by "pacific demonstrators". Why do they hace to break cafe's or shops.Why do they have to burn anything? All in the blessed name of "antiGlobalization".Why don't they go to their own homes and break the computer,the microwave oven , their parent's car....??? :slap: :slap:

http://gallery.cleric.se/albums/gbg_kravaller/blod_kvinna.jpg

Who knows, maybe some idiot throwing a stone hit her instead of a police, but I don´t find it too impossible that a police officer simply hit her in the head. Even though Gothenburg is a fairly big city their police force is not that big, and many of the police officers were from small quiet towns, and I have read that they had to work in shifts of up to 24 hours due to the lack of police officers and the chaos. I guess they were so tired, and all this was so new for them that they just hit at everything that came in their way. And then in the end also shot at demonstrators. The last time that happened in Sweden was 1931! Back then it was the military however, five people were killed. After that almost all internal security has been the polices responsibility.

I was in the Army 2001, I remember the reactions of the officers, and can just say that I am glad that the swedish military was not allowed to help the police restore order. I am quite confident that more than five persons would have been shot dead then... Not that it was ever an option because of those events in 1931, but anyway.

Agreed, the M/59 it is. I've got a complete M/59 outfit in one of my drawers these days, although I've sold my eager cousin some parts of it, still the M/59 jacket remains.

But, as everyone can see alot of these "peaceful protesters" were gearing up for war, so to speak. They've covered their faces, pose in front of flags with AK47's painted on them and generally look like some people ready for the revolution.

There was nothing peaceful about that particular "demonstration" , just meaningless acts of violence and general disorder, personally I'm glad that the Swedish police finally used their sidearms to take a stand and shot that lunatic before he could have harmed the wounded officer.

When I watched the news concerning the matter, I saw that the police were hopelessly outnumbered against these "protesters" and I suppose that some of them were even a bit shocked about the outright war that was raging all around.

I also thought, "why isn't the army doing something about this?" since the situation was two seconds away from really catching fire and really deteriorating, if it wasn't already.

Of course, calling in the army to handle this situation would have been just the cure for the "protesters", with the appearance of a few APC's with soldiers raining out of them could have put the fear of god to these Anarchists or whatever they are called.


http://gallery.cleric.se/albums/gbg_kravaller/avenyn2.jpg

And you call this a peaceful demonstration? how about renaming it a warzone?


Despite the fact that the police got the situation finally under control, you've got to wonder if there indeed was something greatly mis-handled from the part of the police forces since the whole "demonstration" was surely to fall under a chaos such as it did.

Now maybe the police underestimated the protesters numbers, or as said some of the police officers were from quiet towns around Gothenburg and therefore not trained on such large-scale disturbances.

There was talk about the response of the Finnish police forces if something such as this could happen here, and frankly I'd say that the Finnish police would have not waited as long on certain decisions that their Swedish counterparts did during the riot...

[Saranof]

The fact many people fail to see is that while a few punks who are just out to fight brawl with to police, tens of thousands of people held perfectly peacefull demonstrations all over gothenburg.

The few people who did start fighting do not represent any spesific political group, because no group actually supports them.

Thats all well and good, problem is, how do you tell the peaceful demonstrators from the violent ahead of time? If a large portion of the visible crowd is throwing chunks of cement at the police and destroying shops you have to act.
Peaceful marchers have controls of their own to ensure these things dont happen and they dont condone the militant action of anarchist groups, so when this happens you have to assume some complicity, they shouldnt claim to be a pacifist when they are destroying a store.

[Guttorm]

I've always found it funny, the way some newsstations always shows the pictures of the marching police men, and the police hitting the demonstrator, but what they DON'T show is the demonstrator attacing the police.

exactly... I saw some raw footage of the anti globalization protest in Canada a few years back and the protesters were collecting tear gas masks and rocks and chunks of cement b4 the march even started, they were gearing for "war" and the police were expected to just watch and not do anything?... I think not

I am quite confident that more than five persons would have been shot dead then... Not that it was ever an option because of those events in 1931, but anyway.

That is the problem with so many countries. Riots control is a very difficult task for law enforcement agencies. It needs fully trained and skilled police officers, not one day "costumed" average cops like we have seen in Seattle in 1999. Standing hours behind a shield, being insulted, targeted with any flying objects requires nerves and self-control. It is easy to panic and answer to the threat with over use of force. Only full times specialized units could handle this kind of situations. I am really worry when I see pictures of CAR-15's armed officers engaged in riots control... :|

[scoone]

During this sort of demonstrations in Spain , the TV reported how the protesters were preparing to face the riot police units.They had gasmasks, iron bars,bricks....After the riots, protesters said that there were police officers in their ranks to 'incite protesters'. :backhand:

[stateofequilibrium]

What interests me is when the use of lethal force should be authorized. If there is a mob and only few are becoming violent that they need to be put down, wouldn't the use of lethal force though also be dangerous as you might hit innocents? Aren't riot controls armed with plastic bullets, tear gas, etc?

[scoone]

I think that use of lethal force is not allowed, just remenber the Carabinieri who shot down a protester in Genova. He was retired from active duty.

Ain't it a bitch to live in a civilized country?

...well this ****head, seconds before this picture was taken, had just run a newsphotographer down with his BMW, 30-something policemen charged the vehicle, smashed all the windows and pulled the occupants through the shattered remains.

By coincidense I had been standing on more or less the same spot as the run-down photographer a couple of minutes before this happened.
Got some good shots from that evening.

Good beatings were had by all :lol:

Hahaha. And the best part of it must be that he only panicked and tried to save his BMW from being damaged when the stones started flying. Didn´t work that well :)

Hope the photographer wasn´t to badly hurt though.

Well the run-down looked pretty purposely, he made an extra 360 turn when he hit the photographer and after that tried to get away. Before the police "saved" him, the car car was attacked by hooligans and on-lookers, stones, bottles and beerglasses were flying.

I think that was the biggest show of force by police and italian military against anti-global protesters...
The whole rioting resulted in a dead rioter who was shot in the head and then run over by a Carabienir Jeep

WEll these last pictures heated the debate about police violence in Italy.
Now every body has it s own opinion whether the police officers in the jeep were right or not to shoot and to roll over that guy who wanted to throw a fire extinguisher into the jeep.
The jeep was surrouned, and I don t know if a fire extinguisher after being thrown explodes

I don't have the least bit of compassion for that guy who messed with the Carabinieri, he tried to throw a fire extinguisher inside the car and could have hit one of the officers.

These "demonstrations" are nothing but acts of pure violence and should be dealth with on heavy manners.

http://www.nadir.org/nadir/initiativ/agp/free/genova/images/0721injured03.jpg

I wonder, is this guy an injured civilian or a wounded protester?

And the one in the lifejacket.

Agreed, the riot would have surely taken a very interesting turn.

[Luxembourger]

I don't have the least bit of compassion

I recorded the riots in 2001 on tapes.....I can tell you that if I were in that jeep I would have shot too .
I am looking now for pictures of the carabiniere buses that were trapped too an set on fire during those street batles.

belive me those anrchists bastards deserve to be beaten

what sucks is that those bastart riots were among the peaceful protesters

[Nite]

The jeep was surrouned, and I don t know if a fire extinguisher after being thrown explodes
Don't know, but everybody who ever handled a fire extinguisher knows that this things are damn heavy. So if you're hit by a thrown one you will sure be seriously injured.
So IMHO the Carabibieri inside the Jeep were absolutely right to shoot this bastard.

[Luxembourger]

Well, I'm sure that not all of them came there to break things up, however I'm sure that the peaceful protesters knew about a certain groups "to-be activities", so why not report it to the police before any destruction and mayhem can be caused?

Oh yes, things don't work that way.

True ... At the very least he could have received severe head injury, at the worst it could kill him, people forget sometimes that humans used many instruments to kill long before firearms were invented. :(

http://estaticos.elmundo.es/suplementos/imagenes/2002/3/1015850337_p.jpg
He survived and was convicted for rioting and so forth

The police officers were freed by the judicial system. So I guess, if
a police officers shoots someone in the head after that person has tried
to throw a fire extinguisher in his head he will be freed, also here in Sweden.

[TALOS]

I understand that, in most countries, if the life or limb of an officer or other officers or even civilians are put at risk, then the police are allowed to use an escalation of force superior to that force being used by the perpetrator.
A large rock or chunk of cement, or a board being weilded by a perpetrator would be met with a firearm in many cases where as an unarmed perp with bare hands would be met with pepper spray or batons, always one level of force above your opponent.

They from Erntzaintza, regional basque police.

Erntzaintza is a good police unit, their only problem is that they are very politically influenced.But they do a great job in the riots. The red colour is because of their usual uniform which issues a red basque beret (Txapela).
