The video


Do you think they went a little overboard with the crowd and the media?

damn you for being first!

seriously though, they shouldnt have hit women and children. they shouldve just removed the people throwing rocks at them

what about the men? i don't see it as being okay to hit the men as well. There's a difference between trying to clear a crowd and using way too much force. I think they went over the line on this one.

using force on people provoking them= not as bad

using force on reporters and people in the park(men women and children)= bad

hope that clears up what i was trying to get at..
