    Where exactly did "Over twenty dead protesters" come from? The reddit post never mentions that these were only protesters and the news sources claim 26 people dead, 10 of them police officers.

      Err, the summary is indeed misleading, there have been 20+ causalities among the protesters but not since yesterday but since the beginning of the protests. I'm sorry next time I'll be more careful.
