Violent tactics used to facilitate corporations
Gardai at yesterday's protest in Mayo were violent, agressive and provocative. Statements by Shell, Bertie Ahern and Michael McDowell suggest that protesters used 'provo tactics'.
This campaign of misinformation and slander against the Shell to Sea campaign, which is non-party political and committed to non-violence, is nothing new. No doubt oily Sr. Anthony's Sunday Indo and Murdoch's Sunday Times will lead the lies in tomorrow's newspapers.
Footage collected yesterday demonstrates that the Irish police, who have been implicated in many cases of abuse and corruption, are involved in a campaign of bullying, harassment and violence in order to facilitate the robbery of Irish gas and the trampling of Citizens rights.
This short video outlines one example of such violence. Here, 2 male cops give chase to a non-threatening female student and proceed to punch her in the stomach and throw her into the ditch.

More photos, video and reports will come in the following days. We will not tolerate abuse and slander by politicians, police or corporations.
We encourage everyone present yesterday to document their evidence ASAP and publish it. Is it imperative also to discuss the issues on your local radio and issue press releases to local papers. Don't forget to contact your local Councillors (www.councillors.ie) and TDs who are well paid to represent you.
