Videos show Indian security forces opening fire on rock throwing protesters
[France24] The videos show a chaotic scene. People are throwing rocks at vehicles as shots ring out. This footage was captured in the northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir on December 15. On that day, security forces opened fire on civilians, killing seven people. The protesters had taken to the streets to show their support for separatist rebels after the rebels faced off with security forces in a gun battle.

On December 15, a gun battle broke out between security forces and separatist rebels in Kharpora Sirnoo, a village in the Pulwama district. Four people were killed in these clashes.

Hundreds of civilians then poured into the street to protest in support of the separatist rebels. Some of them started throwing stones at the security forces, who then opened fire on them.

In the video below, you can see several different tan and white vehicles, lined up one after another. In the distance, several people dressed in civilian clothing are throwing things at the vehicles. People are running as shots ring out.

#2 If you are attacking "security forces" in support of "armed rebels" YOU are an armed rebel. If you don't want to get shot, don't throw rocks at guys with guns.
