Riot Police Retake Istanbul‘s Taksim Square early this morning. Riot police stormed Taksim Square, the center of recent protests in Istanbul, firing tear gas and rubber bullets at firework-hurling demonstrators, pushing many of the protesters who had occupied the square for more than a week into a nearby park. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said today he had “no more tolerance” for the mass anti-government demonstrations that have engulfed the country and killed three protesters and one police officer.
