It starts with a fairly normal protest crowd, chanting, singing, and gestures (mooning, Kiss my a$$, type of stuff). Rowdy, but not especially acting angry.
There is a cut in the video, to (from behind a wall) the troops. No one appears to be close to the troops.
The troops appeared to be firing over the crowd, from across a street/sidewalk, behind barbed wire and bushes, from on top of the vehicles.
IMHO, this just made the crowd mad, although there appeared to be some wounded.
My bet is that after that, the crowd started getting really ugly. Expressions on the faces looked like they were 18 shades of pi$$ed off.
Personally, I think we should watch the reactions to this from France, the UN and the MSM.
THAT might be even more telling about this.
