Riot police moves in on the protesters. Protesters are cornered from all sides. Some officers are spotted putting on gas masks.


Protesters fearing tear gas try to find safety. Police barricade goes down.There is a rumor that police will eventually use the sound cannon present at the site. Protesters call out to use ear plugs. Some are not prepared for the sound cannon and get anxious. It is clear that a lot of them want to get out but are unable to do so. Strangers share their extra ear plugs. Panic sets in. Seconds after this recording we encounter several bloodied protesters, onlookers, and a reporter. People are taking care of each other checking for wounds, washing off blood. There is no bystander effect here!
