Saw this video linked from #iranelection on twitter:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/persian/iran/2009/06/090621_ag_street_clashes.shtml

Things look normal until about 1:45 into the video, when the protesters start throwing much bigger stones. The police start to retreat, and the protesters take off after them.

I love it when the police are run off and the crowd promptly pursues.

Seems like a sling would be a good thing to have in a rock throwing contest.

Check out this video from yesterday......

The reporting by the MSM is faulty at best.

...when the protesters start throwing much bigger stones.

The police did look like they were throwing stones into the much larger crowd of protesters. The police were evidently ill equipped and obviously heavily outnumbered. The sound tactic they utilized was a speedy retreat.

PLEASE watch the 3 minute BBC video at the link, watch it all. Imagine the courage of these people, knowing that at any moment, the police could fire live ammo at them.

George Steinbrenner (or his son) should take note of the Iranian arms.

Another poster mentioned it. These people need to learn how to use a good old fashioned David and Goliath slingshot.

I believe it was the Greeks who used Harriers to great effect against the Persians.
