The reporter wrote these figures: 300,000 protesters and 60,000 cops.
Unfortunately cops were just 15,000, partly inside the "red" area, where
was the summit + 5,000 journalists + 9,000 people attending the meeting,
partly inside the surrounding "yellow" area. About 200,000 protesters
were inside the "yellow" area, trying to break through the "red" zone
(about 1,500 protesters with molotov bottles, bars, stones, etc.).
