Something's Rotten in Denmark (SWAT AMOK?)

ANTI-TERROR FORCES ARE NOW TARGETING LOCAL YOUTH
The swat teams surrounded the youth house and started pouring in tear gas, using fire hoses. Combat troops were lowered from helicopters. In reaction for the past four days there have been street battles in Copenhagen as young people react to these repressive moves and the closing of a vital community center. The following text from indymedia Denmark explains the history:
"The house was GIVEN to the autonomous scene in KPH in 1982, if they in return would give up some places that were squatted at the time, and they did, the anarchists kept their end of the bargain. It was the council that broke this deal, and not only did they come clean about it, no, they tried to sell the house (that WASN'T theirs!) behind the backs of the people that rightfully inhibited the place. And so they did, to Faderhuset, a fundamentalist Christian cult that has been noted to have strong racist (anti-Muslim) tendencies! How's that for getting slapped in the face? .......

"How do you expect people to react when they've been continually marginalized, criminalized, spat on and shoved aside? Because that's exactly what the city council of KPH did. What they basically said was "we don't want you here, we don't give a fuck about who you are, what you stand for and what you're fighting for" and to let you feel this, we'll sell your building. Your ONE building where you have put all your time, energy and enthousiasm in, the ONE place where you can be yourself and get the bands to play that you like, get the (vegan) food that you can afford and can do whatever you feel like doing. Look, not everyone is interested in going to disco's and listening to shitty R 'n B! Not everyone is happy living in a city that is being homogenized into a shopping centre for dumb yuppies with too much money to spend!! And Ungdomshuset provided a place for those people, whether you like them or not, and now they're angry. Gosh, I wonder why..." ...from a comment posted on indymedia http://www.indymedia.dk/

And this from indymedia.uk
"This morning at 7:00 AM the anti-terror squad landed on the roof of the "Ungdomshuset" via helicopters, while later in the day activists from all over Copenhagen rushed to protest the eviction of "Ungdomshuset", they were met by aggressive policemen in riot gear blocking the street arresting suspected troublemakers with many resulting injuries. The demonstrators fought back and tried to reclaim the "Ungdomshuset", but were repelled and activists took to the nearby streets and started building barricades, while engaging police in skirmishes.

"The neighbourhoods has been entirely shut down by local residents and activists: actions and demonstrations have taken place all over Copenhagen with more planned for the following days and weeks. While sympathisers from all over Europe have been rushing in, although police are attempting to detain suspected activists at the borders. Furthermore solidarity demonstrations are under way in Germany, Norway and Sweden.

"The house has functioned as a political and cultural centre, home to political demonstrations, political debates, concerts and many more cultural events since 1982. It has served as a basis-democratic remainder that 'another world is possible' until this morning. The actions of solidarity taking place all over Europe, as well as Russia and Australia are greatly appreciated. Please join in and support the struggle for autonomous commons and the resistance against the neoliberal repression. The homepage of "Ungdomshuset" has been shot down but a mirror has been set up (in English). " http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/03/363973.html

IS THIS WHAT HAPPENS WITH POLICE AROUND THE WORLD HAVE ENDLESS BUDGETS FOR GEAR AND SWAT TEAMS AND NO WHERE TO USE THEM, EXCEPT THEIR OWN POPULACE? A SIMILAR THING IS HAPPENING IN THE US WITH THE CRACK DOWN ON RADICALS FROM THE 60'S. SEE http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/02/19/18365745.php
