    On Saturday, demonstrators across Europe took to the streets to partake in a day of protest against capitalism. The proceedings, which started peacefully, took a turn for worse soon after they began when protestors began clashing with local law-enforcement. Click through for the video.

    The heart of the protest was in Frankfurt, Germany, where approximately 3000 demonstrators flooded the streets, waving flags and signs and shouting obscenities.

    “According to the organizers, the M31 network of left-wing groups from different European countries, similar demonstrations took part in 15 other European countries.”

    Initially police looked on calmly, but soon scuffles broke out and they had to take action.

    “[Protestors] marched through Frankfurt city towards the ECB (European Central bank) and further on to the construction site of the new ECB building in the eastern part of the city. The first scuffles between the police and the demonstrators started already in downtown Frankfurt. Stones were thrown and as well as flares and bags with paint. One person was injured and a shop window smashed according to the police.”

    The violence was short-lived and police managed to contain the situation, literally, by surrounding the demonstrators and checking their identities.
