In the worst violence in weeks, police used rubber bullets and stun grenades to stop thousands of protesters marching on parliament. A deadline set by the security forces for the violence to end has passed with no immediate sign of police action. The clashes came as MPs were due to debate changes to the constitution. The proposals would curb the powers of President Viktor Yanukovych, but the opposition say they were blocked from submitting their draft, meaning no debate could take place. EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said she was "deeply worried" by the escalation of violence, and urged politicians to "address the root causes". Russia blamed the upsurge in violence on "connivance by Western politicians and European structures" and their refusal to consider the "aggressive actions" of radical factions within the protest movement.[/quote] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-26236860[/url]

Also whoever is speaking is saying that "we are on our own land, we will not back down, we will not be scared by bandits and criminals" Also he is raising up everyone at their TV's and broadcasts to come out and stand up against the government, but not children nor women, also he asked women to leave and go to safe zone.

I know it might seem like semantic moaning, but people should stop saying "the Ukraine." The term comes from when the country was nothing more than a region of Russia, like we would call "the Midwest" in America. Continuing to name it like that just reinforces the history of Russian domination of the Ukrainian country and people.
It's airing on the news here right now, seems the death toll has increased to 9, 2 cops and 7 protestors.

Here's an update, the death toll is at 20+ people now :(
RIP Ukraine The country won't recover from these events for a loooong time
These cops got the fortifications, so they can use the guns if the rioters come, but most riot police are in serious danger. Even with armor and a shield, a stone thrown seriously at someone can wound, and after multiple you'd see why the Bible recommends their use on heathens. If I were them, I'd take a broom and just fashion a big old knife to the end. Hurl it from a building and you better believe that's deadly. Plus, from any height you can hit people in the back ranks that aren't holding up their shields. I kinda think about stuff like this too much.
