Military Prevents Confrontation between Protesters and Police in Cairo

Around 9am Saturday January 29, 2011, Egyptian police attempted to clear a street leading to Cairo's Tahrir Square. Police fired shotguns into the air to announce their presence, following a night of massive civil unrest in Cairo. A group of protesters moved towards them from Tahrir Square. Three Egyptian military armored vehicles moved in to obstruct police fire, seemingly to protect protesters. The follow raw footage shows what happened next.

Egypt.... the greatest country and the greatest people in the world.... a peoples uprising with a minimum of violence. In Iran hundreds were murdered by the government and religious forces to keep them in power. In Egypt the people did it by themselves... Congratulations to your great country from the USA!

WoW I think this is just soo nice how army is protecting their people from the police. Pakistan army should learn from this

[spark1eee]

The army was formed to protect the country's own people, and kill the intruders; the police was meant to maintain the orders in society, but when government becomes dirty (Like Chinese government), the cops become bitchz, they bite people, that's funny...

Oh, BtY, fuck Chinese government, everyone should do that...
