Chilean Students Clash with Police


According to RT:
Thousands of protesters filed through the center of the Chilean capital of Santiago on Thursday during a mass student march, clashing with police. Dozens of demonstrators were arrested.
Officials believe some 18,000 demonstrators took part in the march, which was organized by the Confederation of Chilean Students (CONFECH) and two secondary school student groups, Aces and Cones. The demonstration resulted in 34 arrests while 14 police officers were said to be hurt, according to La Tercera.
World wide from Turkey to Brazil, Canada to France people are taking to the streets.  It has become so common that now that Chile is taking part in the action people are so desensitized to it that it seems to be just another student revolt.  
However in reality for each individual country these revolts are a major step towards freeing themselves from their political over lords.  I can't wait till America gets it together and goes beyond Occupations and Tea Parties and truly shows the system what we think of them.
