Chile clashes: Police use batons, water cannons at student protest


On November 22nd in Santiago, Chile, four Chilean high-school students had been arrested after participating in an unauthorized protest. They began marching to demand educational reform but the protest turned violent. Protesters began fighting with the police. The riot police began using batons and water cannons in an effort to get the protesters to leave.

In the video below you can see the police kicking protesters, both men and women. You can also see many protesters jumping on and kicking a cop car that is driving through the area. Aside from the violence you can see some protesters who were walking down the streets in large groups holding banners. This is defiantly one of the more violent protests that has erupted in Chile during these student protests.
