Huff post has live blogging going on. Latest post: Just got off the phone with my dad. He leaves in northern tehran... He said that most iranians believe that a lot of the basijis [plain clothes officers] on the bikes are hezbollah arabs brought in to do to the citizens what a persian cop would refuse to do. Accordingly when the protesters knock one of the basijis off their bikes they are being particularly brutal, believing that the rider is arab. Regular uninformed cops are not being pursued with the same anger.

Same pattern as Tienanmen Square -- bring in people who will feel no connection to the people being stomped, and who do not speak their language.
