Police truck RUNS OVER protesters outside US embassy [GRAPHIC VIDEO]

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything like this:

RT – A rally protesting the presence of American troops in the Philippines has turned violent outside the US embassy in Manila, with police using tear gas against demonstrators. Several people were run over by a police van.

AP footage shows the van repeatedly ramming into protesters as it drove back and forth among the crowd. It occurred after demonstrators surrounded the vehicle and began hitting it with wooden batons seized from police.

At least three student activists were taken to hospital after being run over, protest leader Renato Reyes told AP.

Police arrested 23 protesters who broke into a line of riot police and hurled red paint at officers and a US government employee.

Responding to the violent dispersal of protesters, Reyes said “there was absolutely no justification for it.”

“Even as the president vowed an independent foreign policy, Philippine police forces still act as running dogs of the US,” he added.

So horrible! And that person in the green shirt is tremendously lucky that truck didn’t keep going. It almost rolled over their head!

I think protesters here in America just don’t know how lucky they are.
