Greek government does not want people to express their disappointment by protesting so in every protest they are throwing enormous amounts of tear gas to the crowd and are making arrests of innocent people to scare the rest. Then they are charging them with fake accusations.
A chain reaction of protests riots and demonstrations in Athens sparked by the fatal shooting of a 15-year old child by police.

The power of the people is pretty amazing. I really feel bad for the police. The police must fight a battle in themselves to do what is right, some of them appear almost ready to just give in. This protest for the most part is non violent...the police seem to be letting the people vent their frustration while attempting to maintain peace.
