today 800 people gathred to reclaim the streets of copenhagen. Armed with a speakerwagon playing music that you can dance to, they haltred at the bridge of Queen Louise, and thereby stopped the car traffic. When the pigs wanted to make the car traffic flowing again….they were stopped by the people on the bridge…..they wanted to party…..who can blame them for wanting that! Bricks and fruit was flying and conseqently 100 people arrested….but more to come….people gathered once again but this time out for: trouble for the police….163 more arrested, the night aint over yet…heheraaa

can understand that 263 people have been arrested but not much of the rest of the report..
how accurate is what the reporters are saying? In UK sometimes our reporters are too much on the side of the police; but on other occasions they are reasonably honest.
To start out with the reporters GL..I dont think the Danish reporters are on the police’s side..they cover the story from both sides..
Looks ok…balanced……people from Ungdomshuset, jagtvej 69, were able to explain why people had to defend them selves after they were attacked by the police which drove over several people with a policebus….people were sitting down and refused to move….this was ment as a peaceful demonstration….some ended up in hospital….at the moment it is not safe to use the phone, so I cant get in touch with my friends who could give more details….
Here in the morning the number of arrests was up to 268…..5 people is comming for a judge later to day….
