CNN showing scuffles breaking out along police line
in London. Looks like some protestors are trying to break through the police line.

9. Did you hear the CNN jackass
He may have painted that on since they're wearing all sorts of things.

BBC International has great coverage.

7. Live stream at cnn.com
It looks like a cop was injured. One protester is swinging a stick and another is being a "bravado hero".

8. On CNBC . .. this is so badass.
Make thy voice heard!

Funny when Americans protest, it's never broadcast and the compliant media acted like it never happened (see 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, etc, etc).

17. There will be plenty of opportunities..
... for this kind of coverage, you're going to see this kind of protest all over Europe, especially in France, Spain, Greece and old Eastern Europe, all of which are soon to be in dire straits.
