I heard it from a friend who ' s cousin said it might be true and his dad has proof but took it to his grave this year so I ' m looking for confirmation <| sep |> Nah man , i can provide 10 links that will disagree with NPR , and both sides have sources . All I do know , is that police in and APC , stationed behind a barbed wire fence , probably weren ' t in any real danger of protesters moving towards them . The fact you believe that their use of force is justified , or that they should spray people with water and then put out the camp fires they ' re using to stay warm while then preventing emergency services from treating their hypothermia ? That ' s probably obstruction leading to bodily harm . I mean , and idiot can see that this is not some sort of fair fight between the authorities and the protesters .
