RIOT! Protesters said no warning was given before the tear gas and bullets were used. A CNN team also did not hear any warnings or demands to stop before the measures were taken. In previous marches, the government has accused protesters of initiating violence, and protesters have said police used excessive violence to try to stop marchers. On Tuesday night, protesters set a bus on fire and smashed the windows of at least nine banks. On Thursday night, CNN witnessed protesters spraying walls with graffiti and throwing rocks. The daily newspaper Folha de S. Paulo reported that seven of its reporters were shot with rubber bullets. A witness saw police shoot Giuiliana Vallone and told the paper: "When she told me to get out of the way because of the chaos, a policeman looked and cowardly shot her." Another TV reporter told CNN that she and her crew were deliberately sprayed with pepper spray by police when they filmed them arresting protesters. -fonte: CNN
