Portuguese term

Querer molho

Portuguese to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Slang
The sentence comes from a newspaper article about the riots in Lisbon recently.
"Fora disso, os escassos manifestantes que queriam "molho" com a polícia, sem muita convicção aliás, pouco têm a ver com as dezenas de milhares de pessoas que antes se tinham manifestado, nem sequer com a mescla de jovens que estavam atrás de si, muitos dos quais tentaram tudo para se separar dos "indignados" da linha da frente e foram-se emboraw quando começaram as escaramuças."

They wanted to taunt the police??
