What's this?

I assumed you were referring to a specific incident. I just wanted to

point out that there have been some serious injuries both from rubber bullets and tear gas canisters towards people that say they were either peacefully protesting, covering the protests, or tending to injured people during protests. Now whether that was truly the case or not I can't say. I agree that there is a certain amount of risk inherent when you protest especially if there's a curfew. The issue is one person can turn a peaceful, lawful protest into an unlawful riot... and it can happen fast enough to where people who aren't involved can get caught in the middle.
