Video: army brutalizes demonstrators in Cairo

Shocking video uploaded yesterday of the army in Egypt cracking down on folks in the streets of Cairo. Lawless law-enforcers: Brutal beatings, shootings at demonstrators, and the burning of tents in Tahrir. (Thanks to Allison Deger)

Another video of a brutal attack on protesters by groups of useful idiots ( also known as police and army).

Very good comment underneath.
“WTF is WRONG with you people posting???
People are being BEATEN to DEATH by the Military Police and Army.
If you are in the USA, you just lost your own Bill of Rights, an can be detained for an undertermined amount of time, without a lawyer, if you are a suspected terrorist.. Even if you are American.. Occupy protesters have been put on Terror lists in Britian.
You will be next. Wake the Hell Up!! “

So much for democracy in Egypt.Our thugs will kill their own people for our tax dollar bribes.Where’s the great orator on this one,that loopy hope and change guy who is the emptiest suit in American history?
And I bet when the Islamic regime that is definitely coming deals with these traitors,they will all cry a river of tears denial and beg for the mercy denied their victims.We aint seen nothin yet!

the same thing’s happening here except somewhat lower key, with an iraq war veteran brain-damaged from being shot with a tear gas cannister (oakland), pepper-spray used quite liberally at several occupy sites, mass arrests, not only of protesters but journalists. all this pointing to the militarization of police departments along with the elite .1% concern over the potential for the 99% to adversly influence the status quo. hopefully these attacks upon occupy protesters won’t escalate towards the brutality now occurring in cairo? according to the LA Times coverage of yesterday’s mayhem in cairo, the muslim brotherhood has spoken out against the slaughter of protesters there. whether their criticsm was merely for show or was for real remains to be seen.

Horrible.

People trying to help that poor woman away and the soldiers attack her like wild dogs..

Then they cover her breasts really quickly. Breaking her skull is fine? But no one must see the victims breasts! Mammalian soldiers are strange animals. What a crazy world we live in….

I blame the U.S. Government 110% for this. The U.S. is meddling from the beginning of this Revolution. An invited analyst on Al-Jazeera stated that the Revolution was aborted. It was aborted by the U.S.! The U.S. wanted a SLOW transition with the Mubarak OLD GUARD hanging around until the U.S. can exert influence with incoming parties. This guy also stated that in Tunisia when the transition took power the Military “went back to the barracks” – WHERE IT BELONGS! And the transition ceded power to elected officials. This is not happening in Egypt because the U.S. is funding the Egyptian Military and that funding comes with “suggestions” to hang on to power for one and to enforce the treaty with Israel! DAMN YOU ISREAL!
