Tased, beaten, shot with rubber bullets: RNC protesters show their scars


My co-worker Chris Steller offers video of testimony by journalists and protesters who were tased, beaten and shot with rubber bullets at the Republican National Convention. One man says police left the metal Taser prongs embedded in his hip for an hour and a half after his arrest, while another says he was praying to God, only to hear an officer say, "There's no God here; we're all devils."

Sounds like it was pretty horrible, but personally I find their accounts very tedious to listen to. I think it is very important to get footage of the event, and footage of the injuries on the peoples bodies, but listening to them talk dilutes it somewhat. Just saying...

Also, and this is a total stab in the dark - the cops might of been using those bean bag projectiles.
