Saw some riot footage

Footage is misleading



Wherever the footage was of I think it was Libya but there were a whole bunch of protesters standing behind a guard rail and then the riot police charge in and attack them. Can't see too good what happened from the aerial shot but it looked like one officer started to beat some poor guy around the head all by himself while the others watched and then when the crowd grabbed his arm the rest charged in and started to fight. Can't see well what happened next but then the police fire a few grenade launcher blasts and then all the protesters start running. As they run one police officer shoot a guy square in the base of his spine with a gas grenade and he falls to the ground dragging himself away from the cops apparently paralyzed from the waist down.

The cop who attacks first has a different build to the rest (more average) he's also distinctly different in height, has a different skin tone and he's not their chief. Don't what that means if anything but I'm just saying the guy's whole personality and attitude looks distinctly out of place there. He looks Western to me probably American or British whereas the rest look Middle-Eastern.
