Masked migrants hurl ROCKS at police as riots erupt on EU's doorstep

attacked guards defending the country's southern border with Greece on one of the worst days of migrant violence this year. Migrants with their faces covered by masks and war paint were seen picking up and hurling rocks at officers, who responded by firing tear gas canisters to drive them back.

Greece, which is desperate to move on tens of thousands of migrants stranded within its order, described the use of force by Macedonian police as "dangerous and deplorable".

In a strongly-worded statement, Greek government spokesman George Kyritsis said police had made "indiscriminate use of chemicals, rubber bullets and stun grenades against vulnerable populations".
It's always been my opinion that cops should throw rocks back at them in such incidents. Then just stare and look stupid when they complain about getting hurt.
According to An Nahar, the goal was more than just throwing rocks:
Dozens of people were hurt on Sunday when police fired tear gas on a group of migrants colonists as they tried to break through a fence on the Greece-Macedonia border, the medical charity Doctors without Borders (MSF) said.

"Dozens of people were hurt, mainly suffering respiratory problems, and three had to be taken to hospital," MSF official Achileas Tzemos told AFP of the incident near the Idomeni crossing, a frequent flashpoint.

A Macedonian police source said three officers were also injured by stones thrown by the protesting migrants colonists.

Tzemos also said several of the migrants colonists were maimed by plastic bullets but Macedonian police denied using such ammunition.

"We are using all allowed chemical means," police spokeswoman Liza Bendevska told AFP. "We are not using any kind of bullets as they are in Macedonia forbidden by law. We are not using batons as we are on the other side of the fence."
The Daily Mail has lots of photos, as always. And Breitbart reports on written invitations:
Thousands of anonymous leaflets written in Arabic had been in circulation at the 11,000-man Idomeni migrant camp, calling on the inhabitants to rise up together this afternoon and to charge down the fence stopping them from moving north into continental Europe. A rumour had also been circulating that the border was to be opened by Macedonian authorities at 9am this morning.

Declaring "Today we either break the border fence or die", large groups of up to 500 migrants colonists moved to the fence, with reports by journalists on the ground showing tear gas grenades being dropped on the Greek side of the border by Macedonian forces, and patrolling armoured cars. Migrants hurled stones at police.

Foreknowledge of the existence of the leaflets calling the migrants colonists to action led to Greek and Macedonian police deploying in great numbers to protect border crossings today.

While it is not known exactly who produced the detailed instruction leaflet handed to migrants colonists -- which featured a map of the border with military style instructions on where to strike and when -- Greek media has named hard-left ’No Border’ and Anarchist activist groups.

The disparate activist groups working in Greece to destroy Europe’s borders came under heavy criticism in March after another such mass march on the border intended to overwhelm Macedonian border forces. Instead of leading thousands of migrants colonists to the European promised land, thousands found themselves in detention and three drowned as they attempted to cross a swollen river.

The groups have given much more support to illegal migrants colonists than just advice. Breitbart London reported on gifts given to those attempting to gain access to Europe such as bolt cutters, allowing them to open holes in the wire border fence.
A snippet of video at the Breitbart link may have caught shouts of "Allahu akhbar!" from the military age male migrants, or so it seems to my untrained ear.
