ISTANBUL – Riot police firing tear gas and water cannons re-entered Istanbul's Taksim Square on Tuesday night after defiant protesters swarmed back in by the thousands.
It was the latest sign that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government may have run out of patience after 12 days of unrest in Turkey's largest city and beyond. Earlier in the day, he accused the protesters of sullying Turkey's image, raising the possibility that he had ordered police to show no restraint in clearing Taksim Square.
In the chaos of a confrontation that began about 8:45 p.m., several fires burned in the square and protesters exploded fireworks, threw stones and waved banners.
As a phalanx of helmeted officers moved forward, water cannons doused a man in a wheelchair carrying a Turkish flag. Plainclothes officers in gas masks yanked down banners.

Bulldozer= backhoe. Lots of diesel, hydraulic oil and rubber make a nice fire.
“Lt Achmed, send in the Rachael Corey CAT D9 bulldozers!”
Once in power, the Muslim Brotherhood (Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government), the Islamists brook no opposition. The protesters are deal with harshly as dissenting voices are deemed an affront to Islam.
CIA, State Dept, Soros & Co. at it again.
Everybody’s doin’ the “globalist dance”.
Sounds like what happened in Egypt except these people want freedom.
Probably explains why Obama is silent.
I heard that the PM’s wife wears the head scarf in public, flouting existing Turkish law.
Paging Rachel Corrie. Rachel? Please pick up the white phone in the lobby.
That’s off the mark. These folks in Turkey are protesting their own govt.
Why aren’t we doing the same thing-protesting the government.
Oh I forgot we are to fat,lazy,and comfortable.
Things are going to get very uncomfortable soon...
>Erdogan, a devout Muslim, says he is committed to Turkey’s secular laws and denies charges of autocracy.
He lies. If these protesters are not rock worshiping pedophiles and don’t bow to mecca, then more power to them.
My excuse is I am old and worn down. I was in the streets (Op Rescue) in the 80’s.
I’m just old, but would join a protest if the occassion arose.
Oh, I’d be there. Just cannot man the front line any more.
did anybody watch studio b with shepard smith just now?
he had Richard hass on who is, I believe, the chair of the council of foreign relations. it was hilarious. everything hass was saying about the events in turkey, could easily be said about Obama now.
consolidating power.
weakening the military.
weak opposition party.
no tolerance for dissent.
and my personal favorite “you are always being watched”
how do these guys say this with a straight face.
