Crowd and Police stand off. Members of the crowd go towards the police (just past the bridge) to throw missiles at them in high visibility jackets.

We..?! I wasn't one of the people throwing missiles and causing trouble! I would say that 'they' (the trouble makers) cant let us do any thing right. Look at the wider picture. I think that the people in the mini riots didn't even make up 20% of the over all number who turned up, partied and had a trouble free time.

How did the interaction with the police presence begin, exactly? Do you know?

[born4fun]

I don't know but the rumour is that the trouble started as the police tried to shut the carnival down early.

the trouble makers didnt even make up 3% of the almost one million ppl that attend carnival

[crackerass01]

I don't think they even made up 0.2 percent of the troublemakers never mind 20%. Most news reports say thatit was no more than 40 troublemakers who actually threw missiles at police. Now, How many people attended Carnival?
