For a crowd that was quiet, reporters covering the story. NO rioting in site.

Watching on the live feed: http://www.livestream.com/activistworldnewsnow

Right now the reporters and some protestors have retreated up a side street. Cops were still pursuing them, firing rubber bullets. One reporter was hit "in the kidney" and knocked to his knees. At the same time he was hit by tear gas and the LRAD.
