At Least It's Not Germany
BERLIN – More than 270 police officers were injured in this year's May Day riots in the German capital, prompting criticism Saturday of Berlin security officials and calls for more officers.
Though the majority of the 273 officers suffered only minor injuries Friday, 14 were badly enough hurt that they will need to take time off work, said Berlin police chief Dieter Glietsch. He did not have more specifics.
In all, 5,800 police officers were on hand to try to keep a lid on the violence that has become a yearly ritual in Berlin. They used tear gas, pepper spray and water cannon as some of the roughly 5,000 leftist demonstrators, marching under the motto "capitalism is war and crisis," threw stones and bottles.

That's almost a one-to-one ratio of cops to demonstrators, looks like anarchy to me.

Only 14 need to take time off work. These guys must be very happy with their pay and working conditions.
If this happened in Chicago, 273 officers should need to take time off work !
A "yearly ritual"? That would seem to be the problem right there
========
That is like listening to the traffic report on the AM radio.
When they claim the grid lock is the "usual problems"! If there was a ususal problem shouldn't some one fix it??
Fraulein,kommen sie hier,bitte mit die hosen und die handen und platzen mein gesite!Mach schnell!
Berlin has always been a hotbed of leftism, going back to 1848. It's kind of like Chicago with our anarchist/Haymarket tradition. They also have huge numbers of foreigners, mostly unassimiliated Turks.
Not a good mixture.
As the US loses more and more of its traditional values and mores, the more cities like Chicago will resemble Berlin, London, or Paris.
If Barack Hussein Obama was there, they would have been gleefully worshipping their false God.
It is a daily ritual for shit here! Your right as usual SCC they need to cancel all the bullshit allowed here,like that illegal march may day nonsense! the mayor though in yesterdays sun times talked about how he is going to hire ex felons for city jobs! RIGHT MR ASSHOLE HIRE THE CRIMINALS THAT ARE LIKE THE DALEY CRIME FAMILY AND LAYOFF THOUSANDS OF HONEST CITY EMPLOYEEES,CUKOOOO!!
It will be soon!
I say now is the time start the Taste of Chicago boycott! We are dangerously under manned, even with all the house mouses, and based upon what happened last year you can bet your last contract's dollar that there will be a riot or something catastrophic to come.
Maybe when the god Obama establishes his promised "civilian security force" that will help. Ummmm, can anyone say brownshirts . Heil B.O. horts
How many people were arrested in all the Tea Party protests? How many windows smashed? How many Police Officers injured? ZERO!!! And
the media and democRATS try to paint them as radical right wingers.
