Does anyone have overhead footage of Miami Protests yesterday?
I'm not having any trouble finding ground level pics, but I'm looking for footage, if anyone has it, of the overhead view.

Specifically footage like that shown on MSNBC yesterday morning showing a long line of peaceful protesters being punched and clubbed by the police lines along the edges of the crowd.

I'm having a hard time convincing some people that this happened.

4. Thanks Mika
I already went through all of these (some of them I can't view with my QT???), and couldn't find one showing what I was looking for.

If you can recommend one, from overhead, I'll post it for the people I'm trying to convince, even if I can't view it myself.

I wish I had a way to record what I was seeing yesterday morning on MSNBC.

I think the footage from overhead showing the protesters trapped between thick lines of police and being beaten from the sides as they proceeded forward, and not fighting back or resisting tells the story.

The ground level ones show the injuries and the chaos, but are not as clear as the overhead ones when you want to show who provoked what.

on edit:

duh! Your pun went totally over my head! LOL

5. Ah, you youngsters.
Wish that I was still that quick on the draw. :D

Mika, thanks for the link. Watched some of it yesterday. So much going on this week, it's overwhelming trying to keep up.
