Well, they are the government, not you and not me. Like I said, from looking at the transcript there is nothing to investigate even if there was an incident of sniper provocateur. Firearms were used by both sides. Provocations happened on both sides.
needed a 'bloody shirt'
There are videos when it is clear the Berkut is shooting, and at whom, and people are dying. They got their bloody shirt plenty.
they could never gain power legitimately through the democratic process
Yeah, right. Then why Yanukovith refused to schedule early elections? Why didn't the Berkut encircle the approaches to the Maidan so the "radicals" get no food, water and tires to burn? I can tell you why: because they would have enough maidans everywhere. The Yanuk regime lost all legitimacy when they used militarized police on the demonstrations in December - January.
I don't disagree, but there are arrest warrants out for the entire Yanukovich cabinet. You can't charge someone with mass-murder while refusing to investigate the crime, unless your name is Robespierre.

Militant tryzubs getting killed in gunfights with police is one thing, snipers shooting unarmed protesters huddled on the ground is quite another, but I think you know that.

He was following the Ukrainian Constitution...I know a quaint notion these days.

I disagree. In fact the Party of Regions won five Parliamentary elections in January, so it was quite clear the Maidan rabble didn't have a national mandate to overthrow Yanukovitch.
