Powerful Stuff

Really powerful video I just watched, linked from the Huffington Post's live blogging coverage. You can find said coverage here. It's a great resource if you want to know what's happening in the Tehran protests, and it's more condensed than the information you'd find on Twitter.

Anyway, the video shows protesters tending to an injured police officer who appears to have a pretty bad headwound. They help him out of the fray and tie a scarf around his head to help with the bleeding before assisting him away from the protest. Whether it's completely real or just showmanship, it's really powerful, and provides the viewer with a great deal of motivation to find the protesters to be the "good guys".
