Brussels police deployed water cannon against anti-austerity protesters, pictures posted on Twitter showed. Thousands took to the streets of the Belgian capital to protest measures recently introduced by the government.

Bloggers said some protesters began burning waste and pelting stones at the police who responded with a water cannon. The rally itself was drawing to an end at that moment.


Police said that 81,000 people took to the streets in the center of the Belgian capital on Wednesday. The organizers of the protest put the number even higher, speaking of an attendance of around 100,000, AFP reported.

The protest, one of the biggest in Belgium in recent years, started peacefully, but then reports in the local media emerged of isolated clashes between dockers from the northern port city of Antwerp and security forces.

As usual, the smallest incident is magnified to the proportions of a matter of importance, and barely a word is said about the provocative role played by plainclothes police offers. Unless I'm mistaken, there's also nothing in mainstream media on the unnecessary use of force against peaceful protesters after the demonstration, as reported by this source:

This remembers 2013, Brazil....

The Military Police used prohibited tactics and weaponry... still, "THAT DAMN ANARCHISTS THAT JUST WANT TO BREAK STUFF, TURNED A PACIFIC DEMONSTRATION INTO A URBAN WAR!1!11!"

Fire to their society!

I loved watching this stuff, I hope a few of those pigs got put in the hospital, especially that pig commander who didn't bring his riot helmet.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE NOT TO CAPITALISM ! (All languages on the website)

After the austerity measures we are now letting in the Trojan horse with the TTIP agreements. This free trade agreement attacks our health, our environment, our democracy and our way of live. The aim of this agreement: the triumph of the financial powers and the multinationals over our liberties and our democracy.

The resistance against this agreement is growing. Therefor we are organanising different actions against the discussion of this agreement. On the 15th and 16th of oktober there will be different actions to prevent the EU to discuss this treaty. On the 17th there will be an international manifestation.

To make sure everyone can participate in these events we are organizing an international camp from the 14th till the 18th of oktober. We want to inform, mobilise and share our ideas on how to oppose to this treaty. We will discuss and organize the different actions taking place ont the 15th and the 16th.

We invite everyone to join us in Brussels to coordinate our resistance to this extreme form of capitalism !
