“Some officers used their batons to strike protesters, while others fired rubber bullets inappropriately into the crowd in violation of police procedures, the report added.

The investigators determined that 146 rubber bullets were fired and police batons were used 100 times during the clash injuring 246 civilians, including nine journalists, and that 18 police officers were treated for cuts and bruises.

“Officers who struck demonstrators and journalists with rubber bullets and batons in an excessive and chaotic effort to clear a May Day rally after coming under attack suffered from lack of planning, training and orderly supervision,” the report said.”*
