Nightsticks vs Cameraphones

This video seems iconic to me.

A few old guard skull crackers doing the Bull Connor thing but instead of people running scared, the crowd create a ring of media coverage with their phones/tablets/cameras.

Powerful.

And not to be a conspiracy theorist, but at the time I checked that video had way more comments than views.
Huh.

@davidlyap The view counters have stopped on a lot of videos. Imagine that...

Combine with Twitter blocking the #occupywallstreet tag and you get the feeling that the powers that be think it's adorable and uplifting when the downtrodden of Syria or Egypt make themselves heard, not so great when it's the American underclass making a ruckus.
