macanazo

Una mujer dijo que aguantaría miles de macanazos por la causa.	One woman said she would take a thousand baton strikes for the cause.
Pese a esto, la policía, luego de casi una hora, arremetió furiosamente contra la multitud, lanzándole gases lacrimógenos y dando macanazos.	The protesters complied—but an hour later the police lashed out furiously against the crowd, throwing tear gas and hitting people with their batons.
Porque mucha gente se cierra en una manera de pensar absolutamente ideológica: Puedes darles hasta macanazos, pero van a seguir sin entenderlo.	Because people are fixated into an absolutely ideological way of thinking: You can beat them around the ears all you like, and they are still not going to get it.
Con armas de fuego, gas lacrimógeno y a macanazos lograron desalojar a los obreros.	With firearms, tear gas and clubs, they managed to dislodge the workers.
El mismo día miembros del Departamento Contramotines disolvieron a macanazos y violentos empujones la manifestación, arrestando a su vez a más de treinta choferes, quienes según la Policía Nacional alteraban el orden público y obstaculizaban el libre tránsito.	The same day, members of the Anti-Riot Department broke up the demonstration by clubbing and violent shoving, arresting more than 30 drivers, who, according to the National Police, were disturbing the public order and blocking free transit.
