This footage was shot by Robert King on Tuesday morning when Taksim Square, Istanbul, was being evicted by the riot police. The Turkish prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, had said he would meet with the protesters on Wednesday, but then, all of a sudden, the police entered Taksim on Tuesday at 7AM, saying they wanted to remove some banners. The protesters started throwing stones and Molotov cocktails, and it all escalated from there. There were theories that the Molotov throwers were actually police officers dressed up as protesters, but who knows for sure.More about the uprising in Istanbul:Watch our documentary, Istanbul RisingJournalist Tim Pool was livestreaming from IstanbulOccupiers Faced Down Cops in Istanbul's Taksim Square
