Rocks and Rubber Bullets in Donetsk Police Standoff: Russian Roulette in Ukraine (Dispatch 32)

[@RiotHouseLP]

LoL pro russian guy saying they were a peaceful protest when we just watched them instigate the whole ruckus on camera...

[@blackmoon3081]

Yeah Russia don't accept America imperialistic democratic democracy ,but running around acting like those democrats in America protesting talk about its a nonviolence protest!

[@TheJam1192]

You came to attack a building you're anything but peaceful.

[@Goofritz]

It was a peaceful protest but the police pulled the guns thats why they were fighting.

[@onemanarmyEST]

Im Muffy Right, saying let's storm this and that building publicly, then saying that they have a peaceful protest there, throwing peaceful rocks and spraying peaceful teargas at the defending police, the police were shooting rubber bullets with shotguns while they were being attacked, if they would use live ammo, Russia would send troops in. Peaceful protesting is nowadays storming government buildings being a non-native person trying to force their power on the indigenous people? I should go to Moscow then and do the same thing, if they shoot me, I'll ask for NATO to send troops there(sarcasm).

[@Aaidas2]

Im Muffy Ugh, the cops didn't do anything until the protestors started beating them up and throwing things at them. The cops had to defend and they did and thankfully they have a smart leader and decided that it's not worth fighting against a mass of mindless idiots with no regards about anything. Hopefully these guys go back to Ukraine and get prepared to fight against this scum another day with military backing.

[@jdaniels161]

Im Muffy You must be stupid. They said lets go takeover the building. The cops were just standing there to make sure that did't happen. Watch again and you'll see "peaceful protester" began attempting to take riot shields from the police Peaceful my Ass!

[@Goofritz]

Why do you cry so much, insulting its just a proof that you are the stupid one here.

[@0prahTV]

Attack cops, then call them fascists for not surrendering immediately. Russian logic.

[@joshcryer]

***** How many prosecutors offices did Maidan take over by force with Molotov's and rocks? I'll give you a big hint, a huge answer, zero.

[@ANGELENA84]

joshcryer Because it was forbidden by the USA to use forces against "peaceful protestors" and as Yanucovich has bank account in few western banks he listened to what he was told in order not to lose his money. He was too naive if he believed that he would have piossibility to use them after the coup. Did they show these "peaceful protests" in February on your zombie western channels? www.klagemauer.tv/index.php?a=showportal&keyword=englisch&id=2445 I guess they didn't.

[@ANGELENA84]

***** They are all zombies here. They even delete comments which I posted about how Ukranian Nazi burned people alive in building in Odessa :(

[@ANGELENA84]

***** I know and that is everything terribly scary. Thanks God people in Crimea are in safe now, but what to do with people in southeast, how to help them, I don't know. We need to provide autonomy to this region, but it's impossible without using forces and the west keeps doing everything in order to involve Russia in war :(

[@joshcryer]

***** Those "occupations" are no worse than the 2011 Wisconsin protests. They didn't take them with armed people. Your revisionism is quaint, though.

How idiotic do you have to be to bring your children to a rally like that, given all that's been happening. And that guy at 6:30 commenting at how inhumane the police were by firing their weapons at "peaceful demonstrators". I didn't see anything peaceful at all here. Their objective was to take over the regional prosecutors office... and they did that by attacking officers. The mentality here is unbelievable.

[@ingridakerblom7577]

That's the russian way of thinking..

[@z.b.j.2765]

they are russians. It explains everything.

[@Upuauta]

Protesting is ok, attacking defensive police like in this case is wrong. And throwing rocks at them legitimates the police to use live rounds. The complain to get hit by rubber rounds is just ridiculous.

[@Sammysapphira]

Well said. It's difficult to explain to these numbskulls how they're in the wrong when they complain police brutality when they're clearly attacking the police.

[@Sammysapphira]

***** Maybe that's because I didn't hail them as right and democratic.

[@Sammysapphira]

***** Yes, because they're still not in the right for throwing lethal-sized rocks at the police.

[@phildejoseph6591]

I loved the part roughly around 6:35 when the guy said the prosecutors were "inhuman" for opening fire on "peaceful protesters". What a load of ignorant bull. If you are truly fighting for your cause, then stand up for your actions and don't pull the 'they started it' bullshit when you're the ones who were the first to become aggressive. Especially when you can clearly see that a majority of the prosecutors weren't even fighting back but instead were being pushed around and wrongfully attacked.

Ok at 6:34 the guy was complaining that the police were firing on peaceful protestors. YOU were throwing ROCKS AT THEM. You call that peaceful? Both sides need to seriously think about how hypocritical they are becoming. I was siding with the Pro-Russians before but now I'm not so sure.

[@i-am-art]

Good point. The guy was not thinking enough. But I can't they protesters or PD did something wrong. Protesters had to take PD down, Police Department had to resist. In the end PD left the building because they are on protesters side and they see what Nazi-Kiev does to their people.

[@bobsykes7140]

[@czarpeppers]

I hope Simon comes back after he has had some time to recover. His reports were like we were there ourselves, asking the questions we want to know.

[@GamingTaylor]

I don't get it. Is this some type of setup? Do the police have to put on a little show so they don't get in trouble? I have absolutely no idea why the police keep "giving up" their weapons, gear, and vehicles to civilians. If the police are anti-Ukraine or do not wish to fight, why don't they just surrender at the start?

[@JessixaEBM]

There are probably a lot of things happening in the background, like with the negotiations and scare tactics to achieve this. They found a method that works repeatedly.

[@madfadedbaby782]

***** in order to do that we would all have to pull together to build up a force strong enough, which wouldnt be possible because the government would block roads and issue marshall law.don't foreget a lot of that 89 out of 100 are a lot of military and law enforcement to begin with.

We are told that Russia is an aggressive, imperialist power and that NATO's concerns are about opposing the Russian ‘threat’. But I looked at the map the other day and while I could see lots of countries close to (and bordering) Russia that were members of NATO, the US-led military alliance whose members have bombed and attacked many countries in the last 15 years, I could not see any countries close to America that were part of a Russian-military alliance, or any Russian military bases or missiles situated in foreign countries bordering or close to the US. Yet Russia, we are told, is the ‘aggressive one’. I'm confused. Can anyone help me? rt.com/op-edge/west-leaders-ukraine-democracy-600/?fb_action_ids=519999164778015&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_ref=.U1Gs9Z1zVpg.like&fb_source=feed_opengraph&action_object_map={%22519999164778015%22%3A606382029451820}&action_type_map={%22519999164778015%22%3A%22og.likes%22}&action_ref_map={%22519999164778015%22%3A%22.U1Gs9Z1zVpg.like%22}

There is a difference. NATO doesn't go around annexing countries and territories just because they feel like it. Russia has plenty of shit of it's own, but it's mostly kept under the rug by preventing press coverage and by spreading false informational (their interventions in Chechnya, Ossetia, Georgia, etc.). And that's the main difference between Russia and the west. At least the west is a bit more transparent. At least the west respects human rights.... things that cannot be said for Russia. The main reason they haven't engaged in anything bigger is simply because the country was left in almost total economic ruin after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

[@godzilacrap]

Will there be more episodes with the other guy? Simon or whoever that was before. Or just this youngster?

[@Alexander-ou9fg]

Where's Simon?

[@BillyMaize]

Probably recovering.

[@slickdepictions]

Billy Maize hes doing a review on the "Jamaican Bud Business"

[@slickdepictions]

that's cold man

[@patriotvostok8184]

Probably licking his own ass.

[@dd1987x]

No more Simon? =( I guess I understand since his face is well known and he probably can't access the same places as before but damn...he is an amazing journalist, quickly became one of my favourites.

[@oxcar162]

and well... he was kidnapped by the insurgents and decided to go home to his family for a while

[@dd1987x]

Is this confirmed? Does he live in the US?

[@TIMSONBOB]

Question: When all these people love Russia so bad, why are they don't move to it and stop wanting to being a part of russia? Excuse my english.

[@lolygagger5991]

Probably because there aren't many jobsً? Who knows

[@Imperialusername]

Because they are a Fifth column

[@EpikSeoul]

because they love their home they are in, just not the country its in.

[@TheOsamaBahama]

Maybe because Russia doesn't allow anybody to live there.

[@georgewest9600]

or maybe because most of them were born in the USSR (if over about 40 ) and see themselfs as russian and where forced to become Ukrainian without a referendum

[@yungwells6549]

I love how the guy says they use live armo on 'peaceful protesters' haha

[@BlueHorizon1321]

A pink police station LoL not what i can see everyday haha

[@mrbanana7167]

Lady at 7:35 looking like she wants to buy some tomatoes but doesn't know where they're sold

[@amichair]

Cool. Really awesome video full of action. Good job Vice. BTW guy at 5:58, poor man's Viktor Reznov :D

[@pimpinspartan]

Can't wait on the dispatch about those crispy Russians in Odessa

[@DG_427]

Where is Simon!?

[@TheHeavenlyDemon]

he was kidnapped but now is free in the us

[@DG_427]

Im Repeats I heard about it, i thought that he would still continue. I kinda understand why he went to US. That was horrible.

[@ROCdevelopments]

"Film how they shoot!" turns around and reveals a hand cannon . 6:00

[@matthewmoscone8507]

lol i was about to comment the same thing XD

[@nikolatesla6228]

"My country is the world and my religion is to do good."

[@erka8032]

I pity the poor police. They are not authorized to use weapons against the protesters and they beat them with everything including molotov cocktails. They are human beings too...

[@friesmaker]

no more simon :(

[@hardcorehunter9155]

" I was just standing there without weapons " Yeah because those big ass rocks aren't weapons?

[@TommyAngello85]

At least the police drive hybrids. That's the only positive thing in this video )))

[@MTSINAI-JabalAl-Lawz-NE]

Awesome, Dispatch Thirty two is here! Vice News is back up and running in the Ukraine! Keep the information pipeline open!

[@Curien247]

that escalated quickly..

[@feonor26]

So this is what a peaceful protest looks like to these people?

[@patriotvostok8184]

They are angry because of the violence of the fascist ukrainians against the civilian population after the military coup in Kiev or so called euromaidan. Ukrainian national guard shooting at civilians in the city of Mariupol kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnTSgZ53pqhlg6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZi2Y6Onrc93mdE kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqXRqolvfs6pgdE kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp7TYXSXftmorbc&feature=emb_logo Nazis shoot at civilians in Krasnoarmeisk kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJyZiHuuo5iWerc kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKDGkKmkhZd4rdE kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXbCeJ9-nNyNi80 Nazis hanged a pregnant woman kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4nMnWCMedt5oNk&bpctr=1587261806 Nazis killed unarmed people kzbin.info/www/bejne/r37HoaqGlNOGg7s&app=desktop Nazis crucyfied man kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqnFfpxnl8xlm7M Massacre de Korsun kzbin.info/www/bejne/an7Efox9a7h5hZo kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqfKq4OGeb-qqZI kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWO3eJh8Yt2VisU Massacre of Odessa kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWW2mI2fZthqkNk kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYGzfoGKYpaqna8

[@brendanfeldwick6493]

Man, I really hope this doesn't escalate any further. But from what I've seen on the videos here, I think it might..

[@mattflynn8643]

"Look how they shoot at us!" Yes, look how you throw bricks at their heads

[@teog1391]

Why isn't the other guy giving the report?

[@wyvernlord23]

because his picture is circulated around checkpoints he was kidnapped beaten and detained.

[@MrBoombastic1904]

I'm loving the dude pepper spraying those cops in the face! hahaha!!

[@RSTrickser]

Realy wondering how many of those apes are still alive after joining once again the soviet union

[@mrTonyJoint100]

they did the same things that maidan before them, what's wrong?

[@Lippyscreed]

nooooo I want Simon :(

[@badmnz123]

let him rest dude lmao he will be back

[@Lippyscreed]

badmnz123 yeah I know that :) Can't help but miss him though.

[@thedanyboyftw]

Adam Liptrot He did some damn fine reporting, some of the best from VICE.

[@Zinogg]

Simon is better this kid doesn't even know what he is doing

[@sahilshah6408]

Where is Simon Ostrovsky????? I want him in videos

[@almezamorra1021]

5:50 rubber bullet at close range. There is no way that is a gunshot wound. If it was a bullet of that size, then he wouldnt even be able to move his wrists, and he would already be crying in pain from bone fracture.

[@xtrey19x]

I like how they refer to themselves as "peaceful protester"

[@barrykent9877]

Ukraine, please, react! Next time they will attack Kiev and rest of Ukraine. You know it.

[@CAptainKluTch9]

Peaceful? We just saw them instigate the confrontation.

[@johnjong2111]

This called democracy. The people have spoken.

[@Phristen]

It's only democracy when it goes the way america wants. Otherwise it's fascism and totalitarianism ;)

[@TankYouVeryMuch]

I see a few thousand people rioting near a government building and forcibly taking it over with molotovs and other projectiles. Democracy requires elections otherwise all you have is an angry mob. If they want democracy why can they not organize this referendum on May 11th without the violence?

[@denchikpustoslov3126]

because nobody wouldn't let them

[@tyguyrocks]

TankYouVeryMuch Ukraine is sending troops in for the sole purpose of not letting them have a referendum.

[@johnjong2111]

Same thing in greece. They never let's us have a referendum. It was there way or there way. I wish my people would wake up.

[@bshwkrec.7189]

Is this the last dispatch?? i mean the situation is still ongoing

[@CoreyFuimaono]

I'm glad that coverage in Ukraine has been restored. Shit looks more fucked up than ever - but it will only escalate.

[@relusrmf1]

Simon, where are you?

[@Cruiser203]

attacks police, calls them fascists DAT LOGIC

[@HappyPorcupine]

I think the fascists was aimed at the government in Kiev, the police force is a extension of that.

[@Cruiser203]

wessel10juni true

[@alexrockclimber]

I do wonder if you asked the majority of the protestors why they are protesting, if they would actually give a proper response about politics, the economy and pros and cons or instead would just shout "fascists and my friends are protesting too" Maybe it was just the people shown in the first protests that seemed to have more of a reason to protest while these ones just seem to be doing it to be part of a crowd. Also why are Russia and Ukraine obsessed with the word "fascist?" They call everyone it if they are the opposition.

[@cougsjohnson1]

I've always liked Russia especially before 2014. But, this series by Simon really doesn't make it easy to side with them on the conflict. You don't see the Kiev Regime doing press conferences threatening the journalists. WTF.
