With all the conflicting accounts flying around, the videos give some perspective.

The funeral procession, whoever participated in it, was far from being dignified from the start. Those who brought and conspicuously displayed the Palestinian flags knew full well that it would disrupt the funeral, and their intention was clear.

Under “normal” circumstances, the Israeli police would have been justified in interfering, if not in using force excessively as they did. However, in the context of a funeral procession, their actions were totally disrespectful to the dead journalist and the people who came to mourn and not to protest.
