Reply #5: Sure enough, at 3:30 in the video Scott Olsen is shown standing peacefully

at the front line next to a Navy veteran, protecting the protesters from the armed policemen -- just moments before they shot him.

The mayor showed the PTB's cards when she attempted to portray the protesters as "violent", then backtracking on their stance of aggression against the protesters by announcing that "nonviolent" protesters will be allowed to remain. The protesters have been peaceful. It has been stressed & openly repeated in the presence of police standing by that nonviolence is their mantra -- until the police used "chemical agents" (the term used by the officer when warning the protesters), along with rubber bullets & beanbag bullets that caused golfball-sized welts. The PTB are wanting the police to incite violence in order to cause the protesters to fight back so that the PTB can destroy their credibility & legitimate complaints.

Thank goodness for modern technology which is getting out the truth. Funny thing is, the PTB have become so accustomed to distorting the truth in their favor that they haven't been able to step off their propagandic soapbox to adjust to this new technology. Their lies are in plain view for the world to see -- including those countries that the U.S. has condemned for abusing their people in the same manner.
