Greek Rioters Firebomb Police; Beat Former Finance Minister Bloody

Greek Labor unions are once again rioting in the streets against austerity measures. Those riots have quickly turned violent. The video below shows one rioter firebombing a police officer, who is then engulfed in flames as people cheer, and an angry mob attacking the former finance minister until blood runs down his face:

Russia Today, which posted the video, describes the violence:

Hundreds of protesters clashed with riot police across central Athens on Wednesday, smashing cars and hurling gasoline bombs during a nationwide labour protest against the government’s latest austerity measures. The former Development Minister Costis Hatzidakis was attacked by protesters outside a luxury hotel. He was escorted, bleeding from the scene as his attackers yelled “thieves” at him.
