Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Nice photos, and I'm grateful to see them. But the title seems a bit misleading?
when protestors and cops are eye to eye, sometimes getting a good shove from one side or the other, I'll call it a confrontation. it wasn't violence, or a scuffle, or a clash. maybe just a show-down?
I'll have to get a thesaurus to find a better word, but I felt like i was confronting something, or at least confronted.

.. well, I guess "dispute" or "encounter" would be close. It seemed like you were trying to dramatise things a bit "Siege of Hillsborough", "Battle of Dame St", etc. all seem a bit much on indymedia.ie
But, having said that, I am honestly glad to see the photos, and they serve a useful purpose. Well done for getting them taken and putting them up.
Police in riot gear. Peace protesters sitting at their feet. Looks like a confrontation to me!
Who's the baldy fella with the mic? Is that Van Morrison? He lost a lot of weight.
