I somehow stumbled across this video at Youtube while watching some D1 videos.

This is Greenpeace at the G8 Summit held earlier this month in Heiligendamm Germany.

Greenpeace apparently turn up in some fast RIBs on the sea-facing coast of the summit venue and go up against some equally fast RIBs of the German Police and a larger fast  police vessel resembling  a gun-boat.

The German police tactic appears to be ramming/swamping and the guys in the last Greenpeace boat gets another RIB on their heads after they surrender.

As far as I can tell there were no fatalities / serious injuries but it wasn’t for want of trying!

I hope whatever Greenpeace’s argument was this year that it was worth it for them.
