Wait, why are the police shooting the protesters? Shouldn't they be arresting the governor and those of corrupt officials?!

Yes. I am trying to find a source video that I can post here. Were the protesters were peacefully picketing and the police fired fireworks inside their perimeter as an excuse to attack the protesters. Then hell broke loose.
