Greece: Police fires shots in the air against students

On March 1st, 2007 during a student demo in Athens, Greece against the government's education reform bill a policeman guarding the Ministry of the Aegean Sea started firing shots in the air against passing students. He later argued that he was in self-defense by attacking students with petrol bombs and because of that several students were arrested and beaten up by the riot police at the spot while they smoked the whole place in tear & asphyxiating gas.

This video proves the lies of the police guard while it shows that he was well inside and later moved behind the front door, which was locked that no one tried to force it open and begun firing shots while no attack with petrol bombs is taking place, just 2 students smashing some small window glasses at the other side of the building. It was only as a response to his shootings that the students then attacked the Ministry with paint, stones and plastic bottles of water.

is there is a place where i can get it in spanish or english lang? i am trying to understand what is going on. Cause in my country (Mex) only show the disturbs that students are making, but i know it must be by one reason plus the death of the boy of 15 yrs old. I`m serious.

for those that the don' t know, yesterday the greek court said that the police guard, although he shooted without any reason to the air, he did right and the two students that were there should be sentenced. Therefor the court said that the greek justice for 33 years now fights the police transgression. It's silly saying such a thing, considering that there is no sentence for police violation or torture...
