If American protesters threw anything at the American police, they would open fire and begin to throw grenades into houses. They did that in Ferguson and New York, and now there's been incidents of it in Baltimore too.

And the second video, a lot of people have been beaten up by the American police too, a lot of innocent people protesting. In New York, this past month, New York police officers have been known to rip protesters out of their groups and then beat them to a pulp.

I'm honestly not trying to say what's happening in America is worse than in Greece. Both police forces have been known to be incredibly abusive and oppressive. don't discredit one over the other. As far as I'm concerned, from all the reports and incidents I have been following up on in America, those Greek riots look exactly like American riots (with the exception of the Molotov cocktails). The only aggressive thing I've seen American protesters do is lock arms and rush the police.
