I think it’s obvious that the Finnish constitution has been violated.

Certainly, the pseudo-anarchist organisers were “asking for it”, but from what I can tell, the police response did seem to be rather heavy-handed.

While I do not subscribe to the thoughts of the extreme ends of the issue (I do see the human beings who comprise the police force as neither inherenty evil nor inherently virtuous), on the basis of what I have seen and heard in the media, the events of the night in question certainly merit at least some kind of investigation. Parliametnary Ombudsman, go for it!

Anyway, I understand that this coming Saturday, there will be a demonstration again in front of Kiasma at 17:45 called “Joku raja
Rajamäki” demo for anyone who might be interested.

And exactly how should they do that? If the police are scattered around the general area where the anarchist are, there is no way they can do their job effectively. There really is a reason why the riot police works as large team and not as individuals. When it comes to the police chasing window-breaking criminals, the police has already failed.

listen to this podcast! it is unbelievable what the cops are doing in the US. It’s called “Bad Cop, No Donut” and is a biweekly(?) half-hour summary of all crimes committed by police across the US. it is terrifying how the list just goes on and on.

You really do have to wonder though….SUPO claims it’s on top of the Finnish threat of terrorism on domestic soil but a bunch of kids with a few chains and such get the full riot brigade? It’s not really a confidence builder in the local intelligence network.

Please explain to me how you, an imaginary police officer would differentiate the anarchist from the innocent bystander, aside from the obvious Armani Suit vs. The Punk -distinction? Because when the day comes that I want to get all rowdy in downtown Hki, the Armani suit is exactly what I’m going to wear in order to disguise myself. The police obviously had to concentrate on EVERYBODY, and that really is the dumb teens’ fault. If the police allows one person to get out, next there’s going to be a whole bunch of anarchist sweet-talking to the officers get out of the circle.

Sorry, in finnish.

Now listen up, all you police-state groupies out there: please take your heads out of your asses and kindly wait for the parliamentary ombudsman to reach a verdict about the matter before delving any deeper into that embarassing jackboot-licking subservience of yours. Or, failing that, how about bending over and saying “AAAAAAAH” while I shove a nightstick up your anus?

It constantly amazes me how certain idiots just don’t understand how it’s THEM who might suffer next time, should this policy of blanket arrests in the name of “security” become status quo. But hey, there’s no cure for stupidity, is there?

Phil,

American policmen are now enforcing a police state? Which police departments are you referring too and where– city, county, state? Or all of them? American policemen are upto illegal behaviour? Surely you will provide examples– I mean it isn’t like the ACLU, review boards, DA, etc… have any jurisdiction over law enforcement indivuals and their behavior in the performance of their duites in the US.

Sometimes your hyperbole is beyond obscene. Grow the fuck up.

Hmmm, if you work in the industry producing Nokian youth counsellors, you belong to Rubber and Leather Workers Union. (I think their office is in Hakaniemi)

OK, I could take my mind out of gutter, if someone gives me the ladder.

oh man… needed to re-wire that a few times in the brain, even I am supposedly notorious making “direct translations”

For the innocents: Nokia=black rubber products like boots, tyres and billyclubs… the copper wrapped in rubber spawned some telephone thing…
