If you happened to check in 2OV during the day yesterday you may have seen that there was no shortage of dramatic footage emerging from the #feesmustfall protests taking place around the country.
We’re just going to dive right in and show you some of those videos, the first being the moment police used stun grenades on students who had made it through parliament’s gates.
Another angle on the same incident, the chaos evident as students flee from the scene.
How about the singing of the national anthem being rocked by explosions, the students not relenting in their song?
Another angle on that explosion during the national anthem…
If you’re thinking that it looks like police failed in scaring the living daylights out of the protesters look at this short video taken by a Twitter user close to the parliamentary grounds.
