What really happened?

I found several videos that include images of police attacking peaceful protesters as they chanted “no violence.” Military tanks were on the city streets of Seattle and police tear gassed, beat, and shot rubber bullets at the protesters. It wasn’t until much later in the demonstrations, and years after that the media acknowledged the police brutality. The acknowledgment of the violation of constitutional rights by the media was a good thing, but in my opinion it came too late. More importantly, the focus on violence has created what our text called the amnesia affect.
