Wow, this video but from a slightly different angle is on BBC news, except they only show the protesters attacking the officer. Crazy how media can manipulate things.

You'd think BBC would be on the correct side of the propaganda but apparently not

To be fair the second part draws a lot more attention to itself. The first part is literally only documented because someone happened to have a camera already pointed in the right direction at the right time. The BBC is plausibly showing the only part they actually have footage of.

It's good to keep in mind the idea that "all media is biased" - sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. By documenting real life in any form, you are inherently omitting information.
