[QUOTE="Panzerkamfwagen, post: 58989568, member: 376848"] They shot at them with rubber bullets. It's not like they loaded up the police department's APC and took after the protestors with machine guns. The was shot with less lethal ordinance, and was able to get up and walk away. If protestors started throwing molotov cocktails and stones, then the police have a reason to use lethal force. It's like the difference between OC spray and a gunshot wound. Yeah, the spray sucks if you're even in the same room, but it beats getting shot. The thing is, he doesn't show any context of what's going on, other than that he's filming the police while he's with a group of people which are yelling foul epithets at the police. Why doesn't he take five seconds and pan around to show what the crowd is doing? Does he not want people to see it? If I wanted to paint the police as jackbooted oppressors, I'd show the peaceful protestors, then I'd show them giving that group of people violence. [/QUOTE]
