Miami Police Shoot Non-Threatening Protesters with 'Non-Lethal' Rubber Bullets at FTAA Protest. "Well, yesterday proved to be an interesting day. After a nice peaceful march of tens of thousands of people rallying against the FTAA, the police opened fire with rubber bullets, tear gas, and pepper spray. I was inside the ampitheatre when I heard that protesters were approaching the police line, so I grabbed my camera and went to check it out. Check out my video (warning - kind of intense - it ends with me getting hit in the head)"

    Read up on it. And why should they not be safe in the streets if they are not doing anything wrong?

  • I can't say I can ...

    I can't say I can fully believe you. I feel the protesters could have found a way to safety if they really wanted to. But in the video it's obvious they were not about move and decided they were just going to stand there trying to be tough.

    If you're right, then it was very dumb of the camera man to not take a 360 degree camera shot showing how they were cornered and had nowhere to go.

    That's what I say. People should just do what the police tell them, just as the Jewish people of Nazi Germany did.

    You can't see it in this video, but basically the way it was set up, there were about a thousand people all being rounded up with cops on all sides. There wasn't anywhere to go.
