Or is it the simpler answer.....they were trying to leave but couldn't get past the cops until they made their own exit? No, no, you're right, it's the more complicated answer

Once again show me where the protesters are being forced to stay?
Once again, why would they leave in a huge group if they WEREN'T trying to leave already?
I can show you video of them all leaving at the same time after an exit is made
show me where any of them said "we're not leaving"?

Originally posted by JoshFIn this video you get a much clearer picture of what is going on and you can see that only one side of the park is being blocked. So how are they trapped in if only one side is blocked and they are letting people through?
That's the same exact video that this thread is about and it shows that they are blocked off on all sides... you're deliberately lying and trying to mislead people.

Mislead people? At 5:07 you can clearly see that only the bottom side is being blocked.
The only place you don't see police (or that isn't a building or a fence) is at the top right corner, and that's only because the police that were there shooting flashbangs are moving into the crowd, forcing them to the fence.

Right at the top right corner they left it open. And after the flash bangs went off they were letting people that wanted to do through, and you said it yourself they were not blocking that corner. So an exit was open AND they let people through, how were they "forcing them in" or stopping them from leaving.
The cops don't seem to move their line into the park it really looks like they just wanted them off the street and out of the residential side.
LOL, that's my point, dude. You're sitting here arguing against everything, and you can't admit yourself that you're not in these peoples' minds, or the cops', and you're just assuming things

The cops clearly move in on the crowd, which forces them to break the fence down, and you're saying that that movement was the police making an opening to let them out?"
Insane

Why stop at that if the police "would have" shot them then they would be shooting protesters OMG evil police shooting protester watch!!!
I do try to stay away from the absurd jumps to conclusions, but by all means lets not discuss the obvious.
I would like to get a Time frame on when they leave through the lines because I see maybe 3-5 people, I don't see many people leaving through that line, nor would I expect them too having just had some sort of flash or smoke grenade shot at them.edit on 2/9/2012 by eNumbra because: (no reason given)

Im not assuming anything you can see for yourself, they let people out and they were not being blocked in. See, I can show you the points I make in the video, everyone else has to make crap up to support their argument.
Sigh. Okay. I'm not assuming anything either, you can clearly see that the majority of protesters wanted to leave because they did so when they made themselves an exit.

And if all (or most) of them had decided to try to leave that way, things would have only gotten worse. It would be construed by the police as a "mob rushing the police lines" and the "police had to act," or some other nonsense that resulted in beatings and other means of harm to the protesters.
