Journalists beaten in Beijing before the Olympic Games

On July the 25th in Beijing it was the first day of public sell of olympic tickets. There were people in queue for two days and the police and soldiers created some safety lines to separate the crowd. At one point people got enough of waiting and they broke the safety lines so the police to block them used the usual rude methods such as clubs and so on. The journalists started to recording everything, but when they things were under control, the police attacked some chinese journalists with the cameras. Those who tried to resist were beaten, one clubbed right in the face and then forced to go down on his knees. Some european journalist tried to record the scene as well, but were blocked by the soldier and kept out of troubles, but they were treated way better than the chinese by the way.

I couldn't record the part where the police blocked the people.
