Do You Notice Anything Odd Here

 

So here we have one lone policeman. Firstly why was security so pathetic? But besides that we see the policeman in this terrifying moment have a cameraman at his back through the whole episode, and what a piece of good fortune on behalf of posterity, we see in the 18th second the protester has a photographer emerge from alongside him also! So not only was the policeman, whom The Guardian helpfully inform us was black, outnumbered by protesters, he was also outnumbered by the media. The very cutting edge of chaos. Thank God the revolution was televised.

And here is something a little bit more odd from the video below. It’s from a religious based site however much that may appeal to you, but look at 4:30 into the video and you will see a policeman not, in the crucial moments as you might expect, urging the crowds to stay back from the building but instead, like a traffic cop, urgently shepherding them towards it - “waving them in” as the presenter accurately describes it. The exact opposite behaviour from what should make legitimate sense.
