Again, I fail to understand why there are protesters to begin with. Don't the protesters realize that their agenda for climate action and legislation is EXACTLY what is being presented and debated on the inside? I mean, this is the first time in history where activists and the govts share the same aspirations.

Change The Politics - Not Climate.
And another saying:
Planet, NOT Profit.
So you see that people have wide-spread opinions.

I am absolutely disgusted by the police response.
When common people cannot voice their opinions and are confronted by terrorism, when their rights to assemble and protest the wrongful decisions of their governments, are breached, when they are denied the opportunity to help in making positive change or voice their concerns and are overcome by forces carrying automatic weapons, when the governments who allegedly work for the people refuse to hear the people or outright ignore them, I think it's time the people considered making the playing field more equal.

I agree, this sucks that they're treated like this. But like someone else said, most of the people are those Black Bloc nutjobs. They hijack every good protest and start throwing objects through storefronts owned by private citizens and generally being disruptive. The damn anarchists have to come out and destroy every legitimate protest in every city. These are the same people that tore up all that private property at the g20 protests because "everything should belong to everyone". They're very retroactive. They get frustrated and instead of attacking the establishment, they destroy property owned by the citizenry. Bunch of silly teenagers with no respect for anything except their own ideals if you ask me. Legit protesters need to band together and keep these people out since they do nothing but create bad PR.
How to translate that - policeman said to Swedish TV that they have arrested for a preventive reason !

The police's press office reports that those arrested today are between 700-900 people - See Aerial Twitpic. See CJA Press Release

This is just retarded.
As usual the left wing activists are screaming for attention.
Compare this to the united states: They are prostesting right outsie our "white house" - police are not using lethal force, and let the preotest go on.
People are coming over our borders in hoards to wreak havoc and protest what? that the big countries for once are talking about what to do about the climate?
I'm an extreme left-wing Dane myself, but i just find this retarded. I consider myself an environmental activist when i go pick up trash in nature, not when yelling at a politician.
Can't wait to hear about how many millions worth of damage has been done that us taxpayers have to pay for. Thanks alot A-holes
It's climate being discussed, not NWO - And it's a good thing, and a first, but yet someone needs to throw bricks at stuff. God damn.

How are these "wide-spread" opinions lol? They're all saying the same thing.
You know it's statements like these that show exactly how many of you Global Warming deniers can't see the forest for the trees. These people are all protesting the politics involved, not whether AGW is a hoax.
They believe AGW is real and they want world governments to put the interests of the planet first. They feel politics and economics are exploiting this REAL problem instead of fixing it.
And they are right on both counts.
Just because there's people trying to exploit Global Warming doesn't mean the whole thing is a hoax. Big pharmaceutical companies make criminal profits off of cancer drugs, does that mean cancer is a hoax too?
It's amazing how many of you guys just can't learn to separate the two.
