Alexandre Buisse Thanks Antonio. It wasn't easy to reach the right point of view to take this picture, but I'm glad of how it turned out.

Excellent shot, You sure did capture the atmosphere...did not know Danish had it in them :p

Needless to say I am used to such scenes...

Alexandre Buisse This was mostly an international demonstration. And the Danish police is probably the most repressive and violent in Europe...

MFA I totally 100% disagree with you.. I live in Copenhagen and don't think they are violent. This is not an everyday, Copenhagen police scene. These people were trying very hard to get into the conference center and were not going to stop so the police had to confront them in a very strict way.. But that's just my opinion ^^
