See the headlines catchy enough isn't it?.
The two recent videos released of police assaults on protesters are not pleasant to watch. The event turned into a media frenzy which seemed intent n seeking headline news. However it is unlikely that any investigation (like the one which has begun) into the events would have taken place without the throng of video cameras, mobile phones, and press.
I think in the future the police may have a hard time covering up brutal handling tactics, harassment and even deaths. This is a good thing. Also the same goes for the protesters who geode police and whose only reason to be there is to pick a fight. It seems that modern media led by the public can lead to a better interpretation of events.
