Shocking reports coming from copenhagen of YET MORE police brutality against those that seek justice for the planet and its inhabitants, human and non-human, as people are sprayed with pepper spray in their holding cells for apparently making noise!!

Defiance in Copenhagen During COP-15
Legal Team "Rusk" has made public that police repeatedly used pepper spray in the cages where jailed protestors were being held during the last days. The reason given is that some people were making noise.
In some cases the police even took the people's water out of the cages afterwards.
Furthermore, Rusk considers the detention of a whole demonstration, as it happened yesterday at the "Hit the Production" action, as completely illegal, saying that a demonstration has not to be registered officially.
Details about all of this and more information from the Legal Team in tonight's shows on indymedia cop15 radio, both in the German and in the English show, at 21h and 22h.

From reports coming out it likely wont be long before the corporate media will have to admit whats happening & the police+ their superiors could look as bad as the Metropolitan after G20 or the Greek police. Activists have support of the left, the liberals, many on the moderate right& many churches, the world is watching.
We must continue to be disciplined as possible on our actions& not allow them to provoke us, though if they attack or imprison us unjustly, it makes the police look bad to millions then forces& makes us resist
These are exactly the police tactics that cause rioting, its getting more obvious some in many governments like small riots, & some others big riots or black operations to try & help pass through dr draconion legislation or get propaganda victories.
The world thought denmark was a leader for equality with sweden & New Zealand & we are still pretty impressed with your progress in Wind Power, dont ruin it.
My bet is the police superiors did their mass arrest with lies without ministerial permition& the minister in charge did it backing by the liberal led danish coalition government, either that or the Right wing Peoples Party& Liberal coalition are crazy.
Its mainly nut job extreme right wingers, Stalinists or some of the dodgier corporations who are using peoples desperation in the recession to attack the climatologists consensus, isnt it a police forces job to protect peace& democracy, not torture students,
I may have a cold, but if this continues I will be one of many protesting about this,if I lived in London.I'd be there
