The police were an absolute disgrace at the Symonds street protest, punching out & trampling on women.
Tony Veitch has the right credentials to have a career change, & join the Police force.

Thanks very much for this report. Was sad I could not be there because I was sick. The way the police acted was completely criminal. I should not be suprised though because they were guarding one of the World's worst crims.

thanks for the photos!!

all i want to say is, "fuck the Pooolice!"

"Tony Veitch has the right credentials to have a career change, & join the Police force."

Being a basher is not the only criteria for being able to join the police force. Firstly you have to agree to defend the rights of war criminals, mass murderers, and there is no evidence he has ever showed rapist tendencies so theyd pick up on that early into his basic training and weed him out.

Thank you for getting out there and making a noise. Condaleezza Rice is the Lady MacBeth of the US Empire - she has blood on her hands and has approved torture, lied to congress about it. She and others are war criminals under International Law. So shame on NZ government for shaking those bloodsoaked hands.

couple more

Could someone who was at the protest please explain to me why there is a line cops protecting a bus shelter?

Are they just sheltering from the rain or are they trying to stop people from catching the bus?

I heard that someone strange wh looked like a mosquito was there. Is this true?

I think the cops were sheltering from the rain under the bus shelter haha

The cops are actually posing for a photo because there a pack scumfucks from hell who should probably all fuck off and die.

disgusting. i dont want to believe so many things that have been taking place within "my" government. i hate what is being done with america. what, really, always has been done. fuckin discusting.

Bravo! We abhor this administration as much as you do. The rest of the world needs us to stand up to them together.

The title of this article, "Fugitive Rice makes narrow escape in Auckland", seems a bit misleading. I doubt Condoleezza Rice was even aware of the protester's cause.

Just an observation: first world police forces view protesters as nuisances and simply try to control them unless (in their opinion) they get rowdy. On the other hand, many third world police forces view protesters as threats and routinely viciously beat or kill them.
