    I'm in #Bahrain again! Legally! And not in prison! A good sign, in that the Bahrain government is not my biggest fan.

    Some protesters threw Molotov cocktails, which hugely undermines their cause.

    Police seem to think this is awkward, holding me in car while they squelch protest. One very nicely offered me water.

    He says police are not supposed to beat protesters but says sometimes they have to, to restore order.

    Adam says his camera got hit by tear gas grenade or rubber bullet. Then a cop hit him and the camera, breaking part of it.

    I'm fascinated to learn from #Bahrain govt statement that I wasn't detained but "sought police protection." #sarcasm
