Yeah, I realized right after hitting "send" that I phrased it wrong. I
meant news, not your personal account of what you thought *should* have
happened. Sorry about that. My point is just that I, as an outsider to the
case, can't trust your footage anymore than I can trust the police's
version of the story. With so-called citizen journalists the
readers/viewers have an even worse chance of figuring out affiliations and
bias. For all I know you could've been an active participant in the
demonstration.
