Two Videos of the Same Footage tell Two Different Stories


One video victimizes the police, and the other video victimizes the protestors. Who’s telling the truth? If you watch the video from the Russian news outlet further, you’ll see that man who took the blast of pepper spray to the face, didn’t go down, which angered the police officers who attacked him.

After the crowd sees this unnecessary escalation of force by police, they become angry, and many of them were then sprayed as well. At this point, the bottles begin to fly at officers; after the police, not protesters initiated conflict.

With so much controversy surrounding the behavior of police officers, it’s difficult to know what’s prompting situations where actual police brutality takes place. Are police officers scared? Or do they genuinely hate the people they go after. Not all of them are the same, but all it takes is one twitchy gun hand to make a bad situation worse.
