Nobody should be trampled, but for some context there was a Molotov about 10 seconds beforehand, and the first trample was a horse being spooked by some fireworks.

I was watching live. There are better views. I don't think you throw Molotovs at your feet.

Well, I mean, not intentionally :)

Thanks though, better angle.

It's a teargas canister that caught on fire.

it's unclear to me if that is a firework or a police 'blast ball' both can detonate like that.

Last I checked, police arrests dangers, not shoot them while they are already incapacitated.

Sometimes they put the arrested in direct harm... not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
