Greek Police under attack during the February Riots in Athens
Posted by Arms Control Center in CRIMES & VIOLENCE, tags: Demonstrations, Hellenic Police, riots
Riots in Athens are getting more and more violent. The Police are sometimes unable to restore order while they are constantly under attack themselves. In the video we are shown police bikers being attacked by protesters in a very brutal way. Two policemen are forced to defend themselves against an angry crowd until back-up arrives. Foreigners should definitely avoid the hot spots of Athens during such riots as the police may be unable to help them if attacked by the mobs that are embedded in the demonstrations.
