A small group of protestors walked up Valencia and then down Mission. They were kettled and arrested around midnight. They were shouty, but non-violent and not damaging property.
Protest in Lake Worth, Florida, November 2008, against the ban of gay marriage. The swastika was apparently an ironic statement equating the supporters of the amendment with Nazism, rather than an indication the protestor himself was a Nazi. Still, Godwin's Law probably applies.
The April 6 movement is an inclusive, non-ideological movement and Facebook group that has been working to free Egypt from authoritarian rule since 2008. On January 15, 2011, inspired by the revolution in Tunisia, the movement called for Egyptians to celebrate Police Day (January 25) by revolting. (The police were once revered but had turned into the hated arm of authoritarian rule.) Most "experts" said the revolution in Tunisia could not be replicated in Egypt. On January 25, the revolution began.

The original call to celebrate issued on January 15:
"[We will celebrate Police Day]...by our own Aprilian way and we shall make it a true Celebration that won’t be forgotten. So today the people of Tunisia have revolted and on the 25th of January the Egyptian people will revolute for their dignity."

Speaking to there crowd.
Greater Manchester Police has been dealing with large scale protests, as pro-Palestinian and Israeli demonstrators took to the streets of Manchester city centre.
The demonstrations have taken place in response to events taking place in Gaza and understandably, the situation in Gaza has provoked strong emotions among communities here in Greater Manchester. This has resulted in almost daily protests, with hundreds of people taking part in the demonstrations.
North Manchester Division’s Chief Superintendent Nick Adderley has been a regular face in the city centre during the protests. He said: “The protests have caused disruption to a number of shops and businesses along Market Street and King Street but finding the balance between facilitating lawful protest and the rights of business to trade, is never going to be easy.
"Through the hard work of officers, staff and our partners, we have managed to provide reassurance, as well as a firm commitment, that we will endeavour to strike the right balance, ensuring that the law and the human rights act are observed.
“The greatest challenge faced by officers, when dealing with such protests, is the expectations of the public placed upon them to ‘sort the problem’. This protest is no different and I have seen first-hand the pressure placed upon officers to move to one side or the other.
“The professionalism I have personally observed from our staff is of the highest calibre and is the envy of the world. GMP can proudly boast of its successful record in dealing with protests yet I never see any hint of complacency.
“When required officers have been firm and direct, yet polite, courteous and extremely patient. They have engaged with protestors from both sides and helped them to understand the role of the police. I need to specifically mention our Protest Liaison Officers who are right in the thick of the protestors, brokering deals and working with them to set clear expectations of the do’s and don’ts. It takes a certain kind of officer to undertake this role and I have observed the most incredible levels of tenacity, professionalism and integrity from each of them, each and every time I have been at the protest sites.
“As with most protests, the vast majority of people who we deal with are decent, hardworking and simply want to exercise their democratic right to protest, but as we can appreciate the current conflict in the Middle East is highly sensitive and emotive, leading to the odd few stepping over the line and committing criminal offences and hate incidents. Our officers have dealt with these incidents proportionately and fairly, maintaining the legitimacy and integrity of the policing operation.
“What is always pleasing to see is the attempts our officers make to build an appropriate rapport and relationship with the protestors and to adopt an approach of co-operation rather than using ‘coercive power’. It is these observations that make me extremely proud to be GMP officer and to have the privilege of standing shoulder to shoulder with our officers, even in the pouring rain.”

Qalandia checkpoint divides Ramallah from Jerusalem. It is a point of regular humiliation for Palestinians.
On Friday 13th May, a protest started gathering at the Checkpoint and the Israeli Army tried to disperse it with tear gas.
People didn't leave, though, and skirmishes carried on throughout the day.
At least five Palestinians were seriously injured.

Matt and I proudly held our signs we made last night in protest to the treatment of animals in the Shrine Circus. We had lots of negative and positive feed back. Many slander comments were made but we laughed and stayed strong. One woman said, "You should be holding anti abortion signs because children's happiness is more important than animals being killed". Her husband was a police officer. With his dog in his car. For at least two and a half hours. Before the circus even started. Yea. Fucking idiot. haha. Another man said "You should see the deer I killed this year, delicious, yum yum yum" while licking his fingers. heh. People didnt respect the fact that we ALL have the freedom of speech to say as we wish. They were shunning us as if we were wrong for simply holding our signs. Another man yelled out from his window that we were pathetic added to the list of many others using the same terms. When they walked past us, he took a photo of me with my sign in a joking way. Then the blow up giant shrine and clown guys came over and farted on us while another shrine snapped a photo and said "gotcha!" We laughed. Its really all you can do when youre surrounded by ignorant blind humans that deplete the value of animals just because they cant tell us in english how much we actually hurt them. I feel that today was a successful and productive day. Tomorrow we're off to do the same thing again.
Photos taken during the protests that erupted when the National Socialist Movement (Neo-Nazis) marched to the Phoenix Federal building. The NSM was there to protest a federal judge's decision to 'water down' the SB1070 immigration legislation. I've never seen a more disgusting group of people assembled in one place, but it was their right to have their march and to say what they wanted to say. Fortunately the Phoenix Police Department was there to keep things under control. Pepper spray was used but that was only when the anarchists got too close. Quite a day I can tell you.
