6/29/2004: Water cannons



Water cannons knock over supporters of opposition presidential candidate and movie star Fernando Poe Jr. during a march at Malacanang presidential palace in Manila.

This isn't particularly interesting as an image except for the effect of the hoses. I can't remember water being used to disperse protestors in the US in a long time - rubber bullets, other kinds of things we've seen in IotD but not this. I always wonder whether it would actually be fun, in a way, to get sprayed - as long as you didn't take one in the face and get your eyeballs hosed out.

Also it has an effect on the impact of the protestors: "We're protesting! And we're wet!"
