The Turkish Police celebrated its 164. anniversary by bombing 1000s of Besiktas supporters who were marching to the stadium with tear gas and using high pressure water guns. The Guns of Besiktas were victorious in the end made it to the stadium, after humiliating the cops as shown above. As if it were a comedy show, the police wanted to do a pre-game ceremony to the same people they had gased and shot with uniforms in the field, which -obviously- was cut short after fierce protests. Reminds me again, of the bizarre and tragicomic feeling of security the police supposedly established in the society. Always ask this question, like The Clash did: When they kick out your front door, How you gonna come? With your hands on your head, Or on the trigger of your gun?

Olayin video'su, Son Barikat 'da. Daha fazla fotograf Sairler Parki 'nda. Adalet'in bittigi yerde, Anarsi Baslar ! Ellerini kaldirmis ben birsey yapmadim der gibi bir INSAN. Belki gercekten de polise ya da baska INSANLARA siddet gosteren bir INSAN. Belki de karmasada hesap basina patlamis masum bir INSAN. 3 tane polisin koluna girdigi artik kimseye zarar vermesi imkani olmayan bir INSAN. Ve bu masum insana tekmeyi vuran, Hem uniformasinin, Hem sayica ustunlugunun, Hem silahinin, Hem serbestliginin arkasina siginan bir SEREFSIZ. Erkek adamlarin, erkek kadinlarin, ezmeyenin, ezilmeyenin, SEREF Bey'in, Baba HAKKI'nin semtidir orasi. Defolun gidin semtimizden, Polis devleti'nin vahset bagimlisi piyonlari. Varliginiz bile kirletmeye yetiyor semtimizi. Hani polisler'in sicil numaralari gozukecekti uniformalarinda? Hani sikayet edebilecektik sevecen Turk Polisi'nin arasindaki kendini bilmez birkac curugu? Hani biber gazi bombalari dikkatli kullanilacakti, m...

aşkolsun sana çocuk(*) ve selam olsun gidenlerinin arkasından sessiz kalmış ülkeden, isyanlarını bütün dünyaya duyuran çocuklarını seven insanların ülkesine ... - greetings from the land, who stood silent after the departed ones, to the land of the people, who let the whole world hear their rebellion, and who loved their children.

The people of the cradle of democracy are giving another great example of courage and humanity, by standing against the tyranny of the coercive force monopoly in modern society, which we call the "Police." No sir, you cannot get away with killing a young boy at will... When they kick out your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun When the law break in How you gonna go? Shot down on the pavement Or waiting in death row You can crush us You can bruise us But you'll have to answer to Oh, Guns of Brixton (*) Athens district around the Politechnical University where the protests got started
