Real News Supplies Best Video, Commentary and English Captioning of Spanish Anti-Austerity Protests and Riots

At this point, Thursday morning Sep. 27th, 2012, this is by far the best close up reporting of the S 25 Protests (Spanish anti-austerity protests) from this week and uploaded to youtube.

In this video, you will see reporters up close in the melee, who are reporting as Policia beat not only protesters but the Press as well. You will view several Spanish citizens speak out against the current Spanish government, all of it translated into English, and you will also see and hear Policia fire rubber bullets into seated crowds while the crowd is throwing bricks and bottles at the Policia.

The crowd is comprised mostly of very young people and elderly folks; however, as was pointed out, even trade unionists, whose unions did not sign on to the protest, are in the streets because the government has labeled the protest a "coup-d'etat".
