10. The police intended to attack. Is that hard for you to understand?
You were late to this conversation. The police did ride their horses into the protesters but had to pull back because of the crowds. They DID announce they intended to use 'chemicals'. They had every intention of attacking the protesters and made it clear. They were unable to carry out their plans, as happened in NYC, because of the thousands of people who arrived to stop them. The fact that there was no riot in the end, was NOT due to the police being 'peaceful', it was due to the protesters who arrived to prevent another police riot.

Why this is such a hard thing for you to grasp, is beyond me.
